- 研究成果概要
- The present research is organized within a large research design: the research of heritage management in Southeast Asia. The research has been conducted by the author and his team since the beginning of 2000. The research has focused on the interrelationships between the heritage and people's perception for it. In order to examine the aforementioned problems, the author has conducted a series of field studies in southern Laos, Champasak, and in Cebu, the Philippines. We have so far had the following results: 1) people within or near by the heritage have a strong feeling with not only visible objects, but associated knowledge (often religious knowledge); 2) they exhibit their feeling in a variety of ways such as weaving design, daily worship; or everyday practice in their life. We call these practices collectively, "living heritage". Namely, living heritage is the one which makes the residence feel close to the heritage.The present project, therefore, focused on the living heritage among the residents in the heritage area. Among others, one of the main components of living heritage is the so-called intangible heritage. This year the research especially concentrated on the definition of intangible heritage by the government officers, and management by them. In Laos, the officers of the central government and local government both appear to be confused about what intangible heritage is. However, they recognize the importance of intangible heritage, and so they established a special section of intangible heritage within the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism. However, they still don't know what to do for the management.In respect with the Philippines, the intangible heritage is recognized among the residents, and it is quite personalized. Just as the tangible heritage, they will talk about their family's intangible heritage. And probably for this reason, the public sectors including the central and local governments, officers does not show interests in the preservation of intangible heritage.In conclusion of the research, I would like to emphasize two points: 1) living heritage, including intangible heritage, make people be aware of heritage, and so intangible heritage is more important in terms of conservation of local heritage; 2) as so in the case of tangible heritage, we can observe a great variability in the perception of intangible heritage. Therefore, in order to figure out the living heritage (intangible heritage), we have to conduct much more detailed field research in Southeast Asia.
