  • 【Data】 Advanced and Characteristic Case Studies of Agriculture in Tokyo
    【 Data】 Advanced and characteristic case studies of agriculture in Tokyo Advanced and characteristic case studies related to this plan will be introduced in each measure below. Data Ⅰ Secure and train human resources and develop robust farm management practices (i) Secure and train diverse human resources ◇ Support for successors of farmers and new human resources Training course for human resources in islands areas In islands areas, because many young people leave to go to school and find a job on the mainland, the shortage of farmers is serious. Therefore, training farmers is encouraged in such areas. Hachijo Town established “The Center for Growing and Training Human Resources of Agriculture” in April, 2008, Kozushima Village established “Tanosawa Agricultural Training Facility” in April, 2013, and Oshima Town established “The Center for Supporting and Training New Agriculture Workers” in April, 2015. Local senior farmers provide technical training as the instructors in such centers. The Center for Supporting and Training New Agriculture Workers (Oshima Town) Vigorous efforts for securing and training new agriculture workers are spreading in each island. “Experiencing Life on Islands with Agriculture” Tokyo Metropolitan Island Promotion Public Corporation holds a four day guided tour for promoting settlements on island areas in association with their town and village offices. People who are interested in agriculture can experience working and living on an island. This is a worthwhile program where local veteran farmers can offer guidance for farm work and directly convey his feelings on agriculture to the participants. Also, providing many opportunities to communicate with islanders and information for living on the island, Experiencing life on an island with agriculture on Izu Oshima Island (November, 2016) this program can give the participants a chance to consider life on the island.

  • The Archaeology of the Ogasawara Islands
    The Archaeology of the Ogasawara Islands Received March 1983 SHlzua aDA INTRODUCTION HE 30 -ODD ISLANDS and shoals that comprise the Ogasawara Islands lie in an area 1000-1300 km south-southeast ofTokyo, extending from 24°14' to 27°45' north T latitude and 141 °16' to 142°26' east longitude. From north to south the group consists of the Mukojima Islands, the Chichijima Islands, the Hahajima Islands, and the Volcano Islands. Climatically the group belongs to the oceanic subtropics; however, due to warm-water currents in the area, the climate is tropical. Geographically the Ogasawaras are located in the center of an arc formed between the Izu Islands and the Marianas, per­ pendicular to Japan. The group is connected to Japan through the Izu Islands and also, through the Okinawan Islands and Taiwan, to Malaysia and India in the tropics. More­ over, it is also connected geographically in the South to the tropical Pacific islands of Micronesia and distant Polynesia (Fig. 1). From a study of documents of the Edo Period, it appears that the Ogasawara Islands were uninhabited through the eighteenth century. In European records from the same periods, the Ogasawaras are referred to as the Bonin Islands (apparently a corruption of the Japanese "munin" or "empty ofmen") and are noted as being devoid ofhuman occu­ pation. Today, however, from the results of archaeological research carried out in the South Pacific, it appears that Stone Age man was widely dispersed through the islands of the Pacific. Thus any consideration ofsuch questions as the polished stone adzes of Kita­ Iwojima; the agate, sandstone, and coral artifacts from Chichijima; and the bone and cowry-shell artifacts from Hahajima must take into account the navigational capabilities Shizuo Oda is a member of the Department of Culture, Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education.

Towards Forming a Sound material-cycle Society • Forming a sound material-cycle society In order to build a sound material-cycle economic system, we need to reform our current system of massive production, consumption and waste, and aim at making a society which minimizes the burden on the environment and can provide sustainable growth. Promotion of waste generation control and recycling retroactive all the way back to production and distribution stages are important issues in making this happen. To this end, a series of laws relevant to waste and recycling have been created or adjusted, starting with the Basic Law for Establishing a Sound material-cycle Society.
