近年、北方圏の発展における観光・ツーリズムの役割に注目が集まっていますが、それと同時に、その対象となる景観、環境さらには土地利用のあり方も重要な問題です。午前のセッションでは観光・ツーリズムに焦点を当てるとともに、そこでの北方先住民族を含む地元住民の役割を考えます。午後のセッションでは、景観と土地利用をテーマとし、社会や気候の急激な変化のなかで先住民族が直面している諸問題や、環境保全や生物多様性の保護に対する先住民族の関わりについて、サーミとアイヌ民族の事例を取り上げることにします。

In recent years, the role of tourism in the development of northern regions has gained attention. In this regard, an important contribution is made by landscapes, the environment and approaches to land use. Accordingly, the nature of these elements as they relate to tourism development is a major consideration. The morning session here will focus on tourism with discussions covering the related roles of local residents, including indigenous peoples of the north. The afternoon session will highlight landscapes and approaches to land use. With the Sami and the Ainu as examples, discussions will also focus on issues facing indigenous peoples in relation to today’s rapid social and climatological changes as well as their involvement in environmental conservation and biodiversity protection initiatives. Check Agenda for more details.
This is an event of “Hokkaido-Finland, A Bridge for Northern Cooperation“.
