  • Colonization, Statemaking, and Development: a Political Ecology of the Saru River Development Project, Hokkaido, Japan
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael J. Ioannides for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on December 7, 2017. Title: Colonization, Statemaking, and Development: A Political Ecology of the Saru River Development Project, Hokkaido, Japan. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Bryan D. Tilt Although dam construction has been an integral tool in development initiatives for nearly a century, dams can have significant negative impacts on local residents, particularly those who are permanently displaced from their homes and must be resettled elsewhere. Dams have unique impacts on indigenous peoples. As a result, many dam construction projects become flashpoints for organized resistance among indigenous peoples. This thesis examines a case that exemplifies indigenous resistance to dam construction: the Saru River Development Project in Hokkaido, Japan, involving the Nibutani Dam (completed 1997) and the Biratori Dam (under construction). This project has been famously opposed by indigenous Ainu landholders. Although much has been written about the legal and political significance of the Ainu’s resistance to the Saru River Development Project, information on the project’s impacts on local Ainu residents is scattered across many disparate sources, and no comprehensive English-language account has yet been produced. This thesis seeks to fill this gap in the literature by cataloging the impacts of the Saru River Development Project as comprehensively as possible and synthesizing available facts into a holistic account. This thesis organizes these impacts according to the newly-published Matrix Framework (Kirchherr and Charles 2016), enabling it to be more easily compared with other case studies of dam construction around the world.

    Almatourism Special Issue N. 08, 2018: Yoshihara H., Inoue N., The Sacred Landscape of Ainu Culture and its Cultural Landscapes: Case Study on the Conservation Strategy in Biratori City, Hokkaido Almatourism Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development ___________________________________________________________ The Sacred Landscape of Ainu Culture and its Cultural Landscapes: Case Study on the Conservation Strategy in Biratori City, Hokkaido Yoshihara H*. Ainu Culture Conservation Office (Japan) Inoue N†. Otemon Gakuin University (Japan) ABSTRACT The primary aim of this paper is to outline the cultural landscapes associated with the Ainu people and their culture, as well as the characteristics of tourism leveraging these landscapes, in Biratori Town in the Hidaka region of Japan’s Hokkaido Prefecture. Such landscapes incorporate, as an integral part, sacred places of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan located mainly in Hokkaido. In particular, the Cultural Landscape along the Sarugawa River Resulting from Ainu Tradition and Modern Settlement has been designated as an Important Cultural Landscape by the Japanese government. Initiatives to preserve and utilize cultural landscapes associated with the Ainu as cultural properties enhance the value of local landscapes, and also have major significance as part of a regional promotion policy and motions for ethnic communities. Section 1 begins with an outline of sacred places in traditional Ainu culture based on examples, and details previous relevant research and studies. This is followed by a summary of views regarding the meanings of the words “sacred” and “places” and related concepts. In Section 2, the overall initiatives taken to preserve sacred places and cultural landscapes, in consideration of the relationship between such places and development of the region’s cultural landscapes, are discussed.

  • Modelling Pre-Channelization & Land
    MODELLING PRE-CHANNELIZATION & LAND USE CHANGE AND THEIR IMPACT ON FLOOD AND SEDIMENT YIELD OF SIX RIVER CATCHMENTS IN HOKKAIDO REGION WONGSA Sanit1 and i SHIMIZU Yasuyuki2 1Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, Kita-13, Nishi-8, Kita-ku, Sapporo, JAPAN, 2Division of Environment and Resources Engineering, Hokkaido University, Kita-13, Nishi-8, Kita-ku, Sapporo, JAPAN. Abstract The potential for flood and sediment material is strongly affected by river meandering and changes in land use. Therefore the modelling of pre-channelization and land use change is important with respect to prediction of flood, sediment yield and its on-site consequences. However, the impact of sediment yield in difference environments and how this affects sediment materials delivery to downstream area are incompletely understood. Therefore, modelling of the effects on pre-channelization and land use change could help us to better understanding the alluvial river systems. The proposed model obtained from this study was used to simulate possible past and/or future channelization and land use patterns. As such, pre-channelization and land use change in six rivers of Hokkaido region were analyzed by comparing two scenarios. Performance of the proposed numerical model was applied to simulate flood events in 1975, 1992 and 1998 to test the hypothesis that pre-channelization and land use change would also be an important component of reducing/increasing flood and sediment yield in Hokkaido region. The results indicate that pre-channelization has a significant impact on flood peak, but no significant effect on sediment yield. In contrast, land use change has significant effect on eroded soil from hillslope, but no significant effect on flood for a large scale river catchment in Hokkaido region.

FILIPOWSKI. PREFACE. i. The Ainus — that enigmatical people who have aroused amongst anthropologists an interest perhaps keener than any other — are a doomed race. Although at present, — that is in the course of the last score of years, they have not been dying out, owing to the generous endeavours of the Japanese Government and of many excellent private members of that nation, still they are perishing as to the characteristics of their race. They are being swiftly and not unwillingly assimilated with their more civilized neighbours, who, inspired with a de­ sire to atone for the wrong done by their forefathers, have systematically done everything to protect them; and since the beginning of the memorable era of the Mej-ji, they have even raised them to a position of fellow - citizenship with themselves. Of that great tribe — possibly the most ancient of all the white races — which formerly played so important a part in the Far East, there is only a remnant left at the present day: about 20,000, scattered over the most northern island of Japan, Hokaido (or Yeso), the South of Saghalien (called in Japanese Karafuto) and one of the Kurile Islands, Shikotan.

MERRIL. and known to occur in China, USSR, Korea, Taiwan and Japan (HYMOWITZ 1970, HYMOWITZ and NEWELL 1981). This species certainly gives us an important material to study the phylogenetic systematics and the evolution of soybeans. It is, however, also known that G. soja is an invaluable genetic resource to introduce higher seed protein contents than cultivated soybeans as well as other favorable characters for forage such as rapid growth of stem and large mass of leaves (WILLIAMS 1948, SEKIZUKA and YOSHIYAMA 1960, KAIZUMA and FUKUI 1974). For those purposes, morphological and ecological differentiations of various characters of G. soja growing in Japan have been also investigated (FUKUI and KAIZUMA 1971). However, most of the studies on G. soja were made by using materials collected from various parts of Japan with exception of Hokkaido (northern island of Japan) because until the report of SANBUICHI (1974), the distribution of this species in Hokkaido was unknown.
