From October 30th to November 2nd, 2024, Tetsu Sato and Phillip Kapulula
From October 30th to November 4th, 2024, Rupprecht Christoph and Talandila Kasapila
We had a meeting with key stakeholders for Talandila Kasapila’s master’s thesis. We conducted a joint research project with Phillip Kapulula on tourism resource management. Through dialogue with many stakeholders on the transformation of the relationship between people and nature in Yakushima and through site visits, we were able to accumulate knowledge on the relationship between the World Heritage Site and people’s lives. In particular, we gained new knowledge on the synergy between tourism resource management and other natural resources.
