    This study combines three interconnected streams in tourism literature: analysis of the utilisation of common pool resources (CPR) in tourism, studies on sustainable tourism development and theoretical contributions to the articulation of roles, missions and strategies of a destination management organisation (DMO). Starting from an integrative literature review, our aim is to explore the symbiotic relationships between these approaches in order to design a conceptual framework that opens new research opportunities. Clearly, the concrete application of such a conceptual model depends on the resources of each destination, the type of tourism dynamics observed, the specific stakeholders involved and the power balance between them. Our approach integrates the principles of sustainable development into the strategic role of a DMO through the management of CPR, aiming at the achievement of significant benefits for the host communities within the three pillars of sustainable development (ecological, social and economic) through participatory processes of destination management. In addition, we present an exploratory illustration of this conceptual framework for the case of a rural destination of Kushiro-Akan (Hokkaido, Japan). Policy and managerial implications are discussed, along with the needs for further research.

  • Presearvation and Exhibition of Christian Church Sites in Israel: from the viewpoint of Public Archaeology
    OKADA Mayumi

    Japanese, Scientific journal, This article examines how Christian archaeological sites have been excavated, preserved and exhibited in Israel.
     It has been pointed out that the archaeological research and preservation in the Near East have been affected by ethnic, religious and political ideologies in this area: Especially in Israel, archaeology has been used to highlight the idea that this area has been the land of the Israeli from ancient times. Thus, conservation and exhibition of site has also concentrated on Jewish sites. However, it is not clear how non-Jewish archaeological sites, such as Christian and Muslim ones, have been treated in the modern Israeli society.
     Therefore, this article describes how non-Jewish archaeological sites have been dealt with by examining the archaeological practices at Christian sites, especially those of ancient churches.
     Two organizations, the National Park Authority and the Franciscan Order are dealt with in this article. The analysis suggests that the ancient churches in the national parks are preserved as a whole and exhibited as the one of the buildings in the city, whereas, the Franciscan Order keeps them below the modern church buildings and shows them through a window. There are cased where the remains of the ancient churches are mostly covered with marbles or incorporated into new buildings. This difference is due to not only to the difference between the churches build for local congregations, which tends to be found in the national parks and the commemorative churches which tends to be found in the Franciscan properties, but also due to the custodian's sense of value of the church sites. National Park Authority exhibits church remains as the one of the elements of the ancient city or the cultural heritage which reflects a certain period of Israel's history: the Franciscan Order preserves them as the religious sites to show the historical continuity of faith. These results indicate the fact that several approaches exist for examining, preserving and exhibiting the ancient churches. This fact plays a role of balancing the multiple viewpoints to the archaeological remains.

  • A Comparative Study on the Way of Caring unearthed Indigenous Human Remains and Associated Burial Objects

    本研究では、アメリカにおける合衆国有地、部族保有地、私有地から発掘あるいは発見された先住民族の遺骨・副葬品の取扱に係る法制度およびその運用実態を理解し、今後日本でも整備が急がれているアイヌ民族の精神文化に配慮した埋蔵文化財の管理体制構築の示唆を得ることを目的としている。主な研究方法は、①アメリカの埋蔵文化財の取扱およびアメリカ先住民族の文化遺産保護に関する現行法を理解するための文献資料調査、②発掘調査や建設工事等によって発掘・発見されたアメリカ先住民族の遺骨・副葬品の管理や返還に携わった経験を持つ関係者に対するヒアリングである。
    当初の計画では、(1)昨年度の研究成果を論文にまとめ、(2)研究課題に関する文献資料調査を進め、(3)年度後半にアリゾナ州ツーソンとハワイ州オワフ島およびヒロ島での現地調査を予定していた。
    (1)昨年度得られた調査成果の一部を、『考古学ジャーナル』No.729にて公表した。また、NAGPRA制度及びその運用実態を参照・比較しつつ、日本におけるアイヌ民族の遺骨等返還に関する英文の論考を論集に寄稿した(受理済み)。
    (2)1990年のNAGPRA施行後に修正された条項を確認し、運用30年の間に指摘された課題を明確化した。さらに、ハワイ州でNAGPRAを運用する際に関係する法制度の整理およびハワイ先住民の遺骨等返還事例に関する資料収集を行った。
    (3)令和2年2月-3月にかけてアリゾナ州およびハワイ州での現地調査を計画していたが、コロナウィルス感染拡大の状況を考慮して現地調査を延期することとした。

  • Archaeological Studies on the Social and Religious Changes in the Palestinian Cities

    We conducted an overarching archaeological investigation in Beitin, Palestine, a village identified with the biblical city of Bethel. We determined four areas in the village where archaeological remains are concentrated.
    Archaeological excavations at Burj Beitin, the southeastern hill in the village, revealed a large church from the Byzantine period, which commemorates the biblical patriarchs. The remains of a smaller chapel and the nucleus of an agricultural community were dated to the Crusader and Mamuluke periods. Approximately 120 shaft and cave tombs were identified at the necropolis; the former come from the Intermediate Bronze Age, and the latter from the Iron Age to Roman period.
    This new data will be significant in evaluating the social and religious changes in the city of Bethel throughout history.

    In this research project, we can provide a rich resource to suggest the strong influence of the Marine Hunter-Gatherer cultural tradition in the social-cultural context into the formation process of Ainu and their cultural traditions.
    Our archaeological investigation at Hamanaka 2 site, in Rebun Island, Hokkaido, Japan, has been clearly shown that the tradition of Sea-mammal worship tradition continuously inherited from the preceded prehistoric culture into the historical Ainu culture.
    In the field of genetics, we have got a valuable resource for further progress. So far, presented complexity of the formation process of Ainu, we have to consider the need for the social, economic, political aspect and influence in the formation process of ethnic identity and its variability. We would like to continue for further accumulation and deepening of collected research resources in this project.
