中央アジア，パミールの持続的社会の形成


キルギス共和国とタジキスタン共和国を中心とした高山地域で，ジオ・エコツーリズムの導入や持続的農業の推進を通して，人間・家畜・野生動物の3者が持続的な土地利用・自然資源利用を行える社会づくりに貢献しようというプロジェクトです。

この研究は，国連大学が主導する開発プロジェクトである「パミール・アライ山脈の持続的土地管理プロジェクト（PALM Project）」を学術的側面から支援するものです。PALMプロジェクトに対しては，北海道大学が日本の拠点となっています（News Letter）。研究プロジェクトには，2010年度時点で，北海道大学地球環境科学研究院のメンバーの他に，日本大学文理学部，信州大学農学部，立教大学観光学部のメンバーが参加しています。2011年からは，宮城大学，帝京大学，東京外語大学のメンバーが加わっています。

この研究は，次の助成金のサポートを得ました。 2011〜2014年度，文科省科学研究費「中央アジアの貧困解消に向けた持続的山岳社会の構築」 2008〜2010年度，文科省科学研究費「ソ連邦崩壊後のパミール高原地域の社会変容と持続的自然資源利用」 2008 年度，福武科学文化振興財団「中央アジア，パミール高原におけるジオ・ エコツーリズム導入のための地生態学的研究」 2005〜2007年度，文科省科学研究費「南・中央アジアの山岳資源管理への地生態学的研究フレームワークの構築」 2005〜2006年度，住友財団環境研究助成「乾燥高山地域における人間生態系の持続的管理のための長期モニタリングシステムの構築」
