  This study explores the potential of one-off gardening experience tours for the reduction of mental stress of urban corporate workers. By using both medical and sociological data, it examines how the participants’ preconceived images of farming and other factors may influence the stress-reducing effects of gardening activities. The examination of several salivary substances and a medical questionnaire (POMS2®) suggest that the gardening activity had a clear stress-reducing effect for most participants. It was also revealed that the stress-reducing effect was greater for those who have positive images of farming than those with negative images. This suggests that gardening activities may not necessarily be beneficial for all walks of life, depending on one’s preconceived image of farming. At the same time, in order to evaluate the stress-reducing effect of the entire tour, there is a need to pay attention to aspects other than the gardening activity itself, in particular communication with the other participants as well as travel distances.

  Background: This paper analyzes ownership and control of productive resources by gender as determined by culture. This is premised on the fact that past researchers have isolated gender and productive resources on one hand and gender and culture on the other. In this paper, the novelty is the exploration of the interplay among culture, gender and productive resources. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, a simple random sampling was used to select 100 households from a sampling frame of 200 households generated through house listing in three villages from Patigi Local Government Area of Kwara State. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire covering ownership, and decision making on selected productive resources and analyzed using Frequency counts, percentages and Chi-square test statistics based on the fact that the variables are categorical. Gender and ownership as well as decision making were cross-tabulated and then layered with culture as a third variable. Results: The results were disaggregated along Nupe and Yoruba culture as well as along gender lines for the selected productive resources covered in this paper. Men predominate in ownership of productive resources among Yoruba than Nupe culture. Women from Nupe culture had higher distribution of ownership in the productive resources than men particularly land, small livestock and non-mechanized farm equipment. The results further show higher proportion of ownership of productive resources among men in Yoruba culture. Women in Nupe culture had greater proportion of ownership of productive resources than Yoruba women. Males make decision to sell all productive resources except small livestock and also make decision in almost all the farming activities listed except when and who will take crop to the market in both Nupe and Yoruba cultures. Conclusion: Culture has a stronger influence on women's access and control of productive resources than the mere biological differentiation of gender into male and female. There is a strong cultural influence among Nupe and Yoruba women as a result of the interplay of gender, ownership and decision making and culture on selected productive resources.
• The Sociological Dynamics of the In-situ Conservation of Traditional Crop Varieties: A Case Study of Sorghum Production in the Yamato Highlands

  This paper examines the sociological factors in the in-situ conservation of traditional varieties of sorghum in the Yamato Highlands, Nara prefecture. In village A, red sorghum is still grown to color red bean rice, an auspicious food used in celebrations. A village enterprise dedicated to food processing plays a key role in red sorghum production. Elderly females grow this crop to dye other products bright red, the color favored by fellow villagers. In the adjacent village B, which has no enterprises, the same red sorghum is grown by some households but strictly for domestic consumption. In both cases, social relations based on reciprocity within the neighborhood and family are important factors in maintaining this kind of traditional food and crop.

• Local In-Situ Conservation of Traditional Vegetable Varieties: A Case Study of Yamato Traditional Vegetables in Nara Prefecture

  This paper examines the present situation of in-situ conservation of traditional vegetable varieties in Nara Prefecture, and how local producers reproduce original seeds of Yuzaki Nebuka (onion) and Katahira Akane (red turnip) to retain geographical authenticity of the products. Local Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA) play a vital role in collecting, storing, and allocating the seeds of Yuzaki Nebuka. In the case of Katahira Akane, however, villagers organize a competition for the turnip every year, in which plants of good quality are selected to multiply, as an attempt to conserve good seeds. However, there are few successors of both crops, partly because these brands are too narrowly defined in terms of producing areas. This implies that some flexibility is needed in order to establish geographical legitimacy and implement an effective in-situ conservation of traditional vegetables.

  The traditional sound culture of the Gogo, formerly associated with specific rituals and other social events, has declined considerably since the 1970s. Some genres have completely disappeared, while others are still performed, adapting themselves to changing socio-economic climates. "Cultural troupes," which emerged in the socialist era, still preserve some distinctive characteristics of traditional Gogo music, although there have been considerable changes in the social contexts and styles of performance. As musical specialists, they are invited or hired to perform on various occasions, including weddings, memorial services, political cmapaigns, and church congregations. This paper attempts to examine the multiple social roles played in a rural community by these musical experts through the analysis of their song texts and performance contexts.

  農業用ため池は古来から日本のかんがい稲作のなかで重要な役割をはたしてきた。現在でもかんがい用水をため池のみにたよっている水田はすくなくない。大規模農業用水が普及している地域でも，依然としてため池が中間貯留池や補助水源としての役割をもっているところもある(内田2003：219)。このようにため池は現在でも水田稲作のかんがい方式の重要な一角をしめているといってよい。しかし一般的な傾向としては，水田農業そのものの衰退と農村部の宅地化があいまって，おおくのかんがい用ため池が利用価値をうしないつつある。とくに都市化地域に残存するため池は，うめたてられほかの用途に転用されるか，もしくは放置されてなかばゴミすて場のようになっているところもすくなくない。

• Cross-regional Comparison of the Diversity of Farmers Producing Fair-Trade Products : From the Perspective of Subsistence

  Journal of Rural Problems The Association for Regional Agricultural and Forestry Economics 48 (2) 332 - 337 0388-8525 2012/09 [Refereed]
   

  This paper presents a cross-regional comparison of the diversity of farmers producing fair-trade products.African smallholders are compared with their counterparts in Southeast Asia from the viewpoint of their subsistence and moral economy. African peasants are found to rely mainly on their own production and on assistance from neighbors for their subsistence (especially for food), whereas for farmers in Southeast Asia, subsistence is based on the market economy. In a sense, African peasants are more autonomous than are farmers in Southeast Asia because they stand on their own feet rather than depend on outside forces such as the market or state. Therefore, fair trade with African peasants should be practiced so as not to spoil their subsistence system, which is also supported by the moral economy in their communities.
• African Peasant Economy from the Moral Economy Perspective

  TSURUTA Tadasu

  Journal of African Studies Japan Association for African Studies 2007 (70) 51 - 62 0065-4140 2007 

  This paper aims to review theories of peasant economy in Africa and Southeast Asia from the comparative perspective. Focusing on Goran Hyden's notion of 'the economy of affection, ' I will examine his argument on African peasantry in comparison with the 'moral economy' thesis developed by James Scott in the context of Southeast Asian peasantry. One can find theoretical similarities in the two theses, in the sense that both address themselves to communal and consumptionoriented values inherent in subsistence economy of peasants, in stark contrast to production-oriented utilitarianism which characterizes industrialized economy. At the same time, their arguments differ in details over how the moral-based economy actually works in peasant life, reflecting significantly different historical and cultural background of each region. These similarities and differences have important implications for endogenous development, which places a special emphasis on indigenous culture of each community, as an alternative to unsustainable models of economic development.

  This paper examines the interlocking development processes of rural folk songs and luuk thung, a genre of popular music which developed under the considerable influence of folk musical traditions in Central Thailand.
  With the drastic socioeconomic changes which occurred in the 1960s, folk song genres in Central Thailand, including phleeng iisaew, gradually declined and were finally replaced by modern entertainment, such as luuk thung. Khwancit Siipracan, a competent folk singer at that time, left her home village for Bangkok to become a luuk thung singer in the late 1960s and recorded a number of popular songs with an identifiable local flavor. In the late 1970s, Khwancit established her own folk entertainment troupe and succeeded in commercializing phleeng iisaew by modernizing the style of performance for contemporary audiences. This fact indicates that, during the period from the 1960s to 1980s, popular music (including commercialized folk songs) in Central Thailand developed on the basis of the direct interplay between rural folk songs and urban popular songs.

  本研究の2年度目となる2019年度は、初年度の成果をふまえつつ、基盤フィールドであるタンザニア、ドドマ州農村および、比較対象としての日本農村における現地調査を行い、相互検討を継続してきた。内容は、およそ次の3点を中心にまとめることができる ①対象農村の現在における食生活と食料獲得：食生活の内容では家畜や現金の保有の多寡による分化がめだつ。村人による経済状況の評価で富者層とされた世帯が親族や知人に援助する例も少なくない。日常的な食料のやりとりや物々交換は富者層以外の層で頻繁にある。富者層以外の層ではとくに副食における野生植物が重要な位置を占める。野生植物利用と主食における雑穀の位置づけの変化も明らかになった。②土地利用と作物・農法の実践：牛耕や野菜栽培の進展の具体像の把握が進んだ。大規模な植林事業終了以後の育苗・植林技術の浸透についても具体像の理解が進んでいる。土地については、市街地との距離が近い集落での土地不足が目立ち、遠方の集落に土地を求める動きが活発であることも明らかになった。③現金獲得活動のバリエーションは幅広く、新しい活動が次々生みだされている。近年普及してきたマイクロファイナンスや頼母子講の利用が新しい現金獲得活動の開始に結びつくのかが注目される。 生業システムの画期となった年代は、ドドマ市街地との距離によってかなりの年代差がある。開発計画による鉄道や道路建設、植林事業の拠点の設置が新しい生業様式を持ちこむ契機として重要な役割を果たしており、それらの拠点との距離も大きく影響している。深刻な食料不足による他地域への移動によっても、新規な技術や組織化の手法が生みだされているようだ。日本の農村調査では、行商や定期市の歴史的変遷・現状についての現地調査を実施した。これらの成果は、国内外の学会で口頭およびポスターによって発表したほか、論文・著書として発表した。

  Baobab oil is not only involved in the improvement of human medical condition, but can also highlight the possibility of improvement for severe chicken disease, creating new findings on the efficacy of baobab oil.This is noteworthy. The layer that can support the conventional knowledge is that it may be supported by a large public subject, unlike the modern scientific knowledge base that is limited within the group of experts. Even if advanced research in universities and research institutes like Tanzania is not possible, the data groups show the possibility of "discovery" that can not be achieved in the advanced society, which is not in the advanced society that exists widely in rural areas I was able to.

  The purpose of this study is to propose fundamental framework for evaluating the impacts of Fair Trade, including direct and indirect ones, and positive and negative ones as well as economic and social ones. The final purpose of Fair Trade is to behave as self-reliant player in terms of not only economic, but also social and political spheres. Consumers of Fair Trade commodities are keen to know the effect of their support by purchasing. Fair Trade market is rapidly growing, but the size is not sufficient to meet demands of marginalized people in the Global South. Accordingly, it is required to analyze and to inform consumers of what kind of impacts and what extents Fair Trade cause. Although there are many case studies on Fair Trade impacts, it is very difficult to compare them because of lack of a common framework for analyzing. This paper aims at creating a common framework. Five Capitals approach is helpful for this purpose.

  We are against to determine the reality of fertile “sound cultures” of Africa by a narrow Western notion of “music” or “ethno-music”. That is why since 1995, under the leadership of Junzo KAWADA, we have conducted first-hand field researches in Africa, if possible including the researchers of the studied country, and published the results in the national language of the studied country, English or French, to render the results to the studied peoples and receive their critics. Thus we have 6 volumes of “Sound cultures of Africa”. Our studies were realized by the Grants-in-Aid for Oversea Scientific Research. We have also collaborated with UNESCO’s project for the intangible cultural heritage.

  Fair trade aims at supporting socio-economic efforts to be independent by marginalized producers. The most important pillars of fair trade are the floor price system of commodities and the social premium for producers empowerment. This study evaluated the direct and indirect effects on marginalized people and their communities, including the positive and negative ones, and examined the conditions for how conscious consumers appear, as well as clarifying the ideological and the theoretical bases of fair trade from the context of economy of virtue. The result of the study was published as "Poverty reduction and Rural Development through Alternative Socio-economic Regimes: Fair Trade Movement and Economy of Virtue" (in English) and "Theoretical and Empirical Study on Poverty Alleviation through Fair Trade and Construction of "Economy of Virtue" (in Japanese). Both will be uploaded onto the website of Alter trade Research several months later (http://test.altertrade.net/).

  Today there are internal disparities inside Rural Africa, which are the cause of the so-called South-South-South Problem. Today, even in the stagnant agropastralist societies of East Africa we can see widespread use of money, but at the same time there exists a moral economy focused on a sharing economy and reproduction and the African moral economy invests its capital on internatuinal relationship. Our multidiciplinary general research project used a regional comparison perspective to elucidate the potencial for development in such subsistence-minded rural communities.

  Since 1995, we have conducted anthropological field research in several areas of Africa, under the concept of"sound culture", which includes the oral literature, as well as the dance accompanied with vocal or instrumental sound. These performing arts are, from the viewpoint of UNESCO, nothing but the intangible cultural heritages in crisis. Six members of our project have conducted their field researches, during the period between 2009 and 2011, in western parts of Africa-Burkina Faso, Benin and Ivory Coast-, as well as in its eastern parts-Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia, on the survival conditions of several sound cultures, or intangible cultural heritages, in relation to the local community which sustain them. From the standpoint of UNESCO, the actual vivid function in the local community is the necessary condition to recognize it officially as an intangible cultural heritage to be protected, and its cultural or historical value alone is not sufficient. The relationship between the significance of an intangible cultural heritage for the local community, the viewpoint of the researcher, and the conditions required by the international organism, is the question not only to be studied, but also to be resolved.

  Africa is the continent where the sound cultures have abundantly developed and inherited. To cover the rich African sound inheritance, such as oral traditions, instrumental sounds including the drum language, rhythmical body performances cadenced by songs and sounds, the notion of music, conceived and elaborated in the Modern Europe is too restricted; that is why in our project we have used the term sound cultures. Many of these African sound cultures have been registered by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Inheritances, but they are not sufficient, and we must continue to investigate on the place, especially in connection to the local community which supports these precious inheritances. Different from materialized tangible inheritances, for an intangible one, the role of the living local community is vital. On this subject, we carried field researches in West Africa (Burkina Faso and Guinea), Central Africa (Cameroon) and East Africa (Ethiopia and Tanzania). Based always on the first hand materials, we tried to clarify the social problems for the succession of intangible cultural inheritances. As the head investigator, J. Kawada, has worked for many years as an expert of UNESCO, we wish to present our research results to UNESCO for a better understanding of the problems raised by the local community.

  This study aims at examining the potential of expanding Alternative Trade (AT) and the roles and the responsibilities of consumers in the AT. AT means another trade model, not based on the conventional production mode and trade such as GATT/WTO. This study has carried out the investigations from the four aspects. First one is the impacts of the change in the structure of international trade under the WTO regime on the developing countries. Second is to clarify the forms of AT and the effects of respective form. The third is the questionnaire survey regarding Fair Trade (FT), a form of AT, and consumers' buying behavior, in Japan, France and Taiwan so as to compare the concept of consumers' responsibility. This survey is the first one in the world. The fourth is the theoretical consideration about economic meaning of FT. What this study has made clear are as follows. (1) North-South problem has changed drastically in quality. Accordingly, it is the time to build another trade system of agricultural and fishery products, not depending on market mechanism. (2) Although consumers play an important role in doing this, it is necessary for consumers in Japan to know more about consumers responsible buying. Even in Taiwan, those who know the concept of FT are growing. The FT market in East Asia, which is smaller than other regions, can expand its scale now. (3) FT is also taking root in the Republic of South Africa, which holds the problem of dual structure of economy. The feature of FT in South Africa is that big farms are promoting FT and its beneficiaries are agricultural hired workers, while the target of typical FT is small producers. (4) The cooperative sector is expected to play an important role in FT. It is necessary to analyze conditions for realizing such an expectation. (5) AT can be explained by the economics of internal organization, and from this standpoint, the economic significance of AT lies in transferring the risks of marginalized producers to the chain of distribution and consumption, and in stabilizing their utility.

  Main results of research of the four years can be summarized as the following four points. 1.The international symposium as a place of a summary of conventional four years was held to examine African moral economy from a viewpoint of comparative studies centering on the characteristics of African. Southeast. Asian and Japanese economy. and reexamined a future direction on the research from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. 2. It becomes clear through the concrete examples that African characteristic of moral economy stresses on < consumption and reproduction> than .In mode of consumption. we can find some features such as "economy of sharing" pointed out in before. The characteristic of generalized reciprocity seems to be seen in African rural villages comparing with a behavior pattern based on balanced reciprocity in Asian rural society. In addition. the behabious characteristic of an African peasant has some continuity with hunting / gatherer society and pastorarist. 3. Subsistence complex of agro-pastorarist was confirmed as the thing which supported moral economy of an African peasant. In addition. the importance of livestock as social wealth used in bride-prices and an organization principle of the moral economy based on < reproduction> were clarified. 4. In development theory. a tendency to pay attention to only the negative side that moral economy blocked the modernization was seen till now. In a field study in the development spot supported in the new viewpoint as sustained development and endogenous development. the possibility of an interlocking movement between the morality of spot society and development was clearified.

  This research was intended to examine the current situation of the "alternative trade," and then to provide a theoretical framework for an alternative way of international trade other than the conventional free trade advocated by WTO and FTA. To achieve this end, we carried out field research on banana and shrimp production in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Philippine, and Vietnam, together with Taiwan. In Thailand and Philippines, there are some attempts to create fair relationship between local producers and Japanese consumers through the trade of herbicide-free bananas on the basis of affiliation between producer-cooperatives and consumer-cooperatives. Meanwhile, shrimp production and marketing in these countries were largely carried out by individual entrepreneurs as a profitable business. Although there are trials of eco-friendiy shrimp production in some countries, it is difficult to find the emergence of alternative trade of shrimp as an integrated system of production, marketing, and consumption. On the other hand, in European countries, especially in UK, there is a remarkable development of alternative trade of agricultural produces such as coffee and tea, and the commodities dealt under the name of "fair trade," as they call it, account for as two to three percents of total share of marketing. This feet suggests that we have now reached to the point to consider the "commercial" aspects of the altemative trade.
