Effects of Constructing a New Airport on Ishigaki Island
Island Sustainability II 181 Effects of constructing a new airport on Ishigaki Island Y. Maeno1, H. Gotoh1, M. Takezawa1 & T. Satoh2 1Nihon University, Japan 2Nihon Harbor Consultants Ltd., Japan Abstract Okinawa Prefecture marked the 40th anniversary of its reversion to Japanese sovereignty from US control in 2012. Such isolated islands are almost under the environment separated by the mainland and the sea, so that they have the economic differences from the mainland and some policies for being active isolated islands are taken. It is necessary to promote economical measures in order to increase the prosperity of isolated islands through initiatives involving tourism, fisheries, manufacturing, etc. In this study, Ishigaki Island was considered as an example of such an isolated island. Ishigaki Island is located to the west of the main islands of Okinawa and the second-largest island of the Yaeyama Island group. Ishigaki Island falls under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan’s southernmost prefecture, which is situated approximately half-way between Kyushu and Taiwan. Both islands belong to the Ryukyu Archipelago, which consists of more than 100 islands extending over an area of 1,000 km from Kyushu (the southwesternmost of Japan’s four main islands) to Taiwan in the south. Located between China and mainland Japan, Ishigaki Island has been culturally influenced by both countries. Much of the island and the surrounding ocean are protected as part of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park. Ishigaki Airport, built in 1943, is the largest airport in the Yaeyama Island group. The runway and air security facilities were improved in accordance with passenger demand for larger aircraft, and the airport became a tentative jet airport in May 1979.

Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.

Study on Okinawa's Development Experience in Public Health
Study on Okinawa’s Development Experience in Public Health and Medical Sector December 2000 Institute for International Cooperation Japan International Cooperation Agency I I C ＪＲ 00-56 PREFACE Recent years have seen a new emphasis on "people-oriented development" through aid in the social development field. Cooperation in the public health and medical sector is becoming increasingly important within this context because of its contributions to physical well-being, which is the basis from which all human activities proceed. Nonetheless, infectious diseases that were long ago eradicated in developed countries are still rampant in developing countries, as are HIV/AIDS and other new diseases. Even those diseases that can be prevented or treated claim precious lives on a daily basis because of inappropriate education and medical care. The government of developing countries, donors, NGOs, and other organizations continue to work to rectify this situation and improve the health care levels of people in developing countries. Japan, as one of the world's leading donor countries, is expected both to improve the quality of its own aid and to take a leadership role in this sector. To help us in this effort, we referred to the history of health and medical care in postwar Okinawa Prefecture. Okinawa's experiences during postwar reconstruction contain many lessons that can be put to use in improving the quality of aid made available to developing countries. In the times immediately following World War II, the people in Okinawa were constantly threatened with contagion and disease due to a lack of medical facilities and personnel, including doctors.

M. Schramm iii For all my teachers iv Acknowledgments When you study islands you find that no island is just an island, after all. In likewise fashion, the process of doing this research has reaffirmed my confidence that no person is an island either. We’re all more like aquapelagic assemblages… in short, this research would not have been possible without institutional, departmental, familial, and personal support. I owe a great debt of gratitude to the following people and institutions for helping this work come to fruition. My research was made possible by a grant from the Japan Foundation, which accommodated changes in my research schedule and provided generous support for myself and my family in the field. I also thank Professor Akamine Masanobu at the University of the Ryukyus who made my institutional connection to Okinawa possible and provided me with valuable guidance, library access, and my first taste of local ritual life. Each member of my committee has given me crucial guidance and support at different phases of my graduate career, and I am grateful for their insights, mentorship, and encouragement.

Women in the Religious Life of the Ryukyu Islands: Structure and Status
WOMEN IN THE RELIGIOUS LIFE OF THE RYUKYU ISLANDS: STRUCTURE AND STATUS IntY'oduction The Ryukyu Islands, having for centuries enjoyed some kind in- dependence, are now part of Japan. Inspired by the work of Yanagita Kunio, Japanese folklorists have started to record some of the surviving traditions of the area, not for their intrinsic interest, but also for the light these may throw on the culture of 'mainland' Japan. Works in Western languages are relatively few, and the area has been neglected by social anthropologists. The Ryukyu archipelago includes more than seventy islands, of which the largest is Okinawa. They are scattered along an arc of about 700 miles lying east of China, between Kagoshima Prefecture (in southern Japan) and Taiwan. Korea, The Philippines and island groups of the Pacific are within reach by sea. Storms and coral reefs made sea travel hazardous until recently; despite this, Okinawa's gives it great significance. While this has the Ryukyus to a variety of cultural in- fluences and useful trading contacts, it has also exposed them to less benevolent incursions. Ryukyuans have long been aware of the vulnerability of their small islands to violent forces from both the natural and the human environment. The poverty and unpredictability of resources and a of intervention from foreign powers has not only fostered a sense of the and transient quality of life, but has also encouraged a conciliatory approach in external relations. The values of co-operation and mediation are in dealings between , between Ryukyuans and foreigners, and between mortals and supernatural beings. While Ryukyuan culture and social structure arc closely 119 C;: 120 Rosamund Bell related to that of the rest of Japan, significant differences can be seen in the development of religious traditions.
