Description
Summary:With the expansion of the Arctic Ocean routes due to the effects of global warming, the possibility of Arctic tourism development is now increasing. However, as typfied by “overtourism,” (preventive) measures against the (future) negative impact of excessive tourism promotion have not been systematically discussed in the international community. Therefore, this study discusses the problems that arise with Arctic tourism development, including forecasting one, and proceeded with the analysis of the current situation for the purpose of extracting significant issues. As a result, the extracted issues were classified into eight categories for each field and arranged in a four-level scale. This study regards this analysis as the primary result, and it was confirmed by the main meeting on December 19, 2019 that it would be the basis for future ongoing research. 地球温暖化の影響による北極海航路の拡大に伴い、北極域観光の可能性が高まっている。しかしオーバーツーリズムに代表されるように、過度な観光振興による負のインパクトへの対策や予防策については、北極圏に関係する国際社会において体系的に議論されていない。そこで本研究は、北極域観光振興に伴い生じる問題について、予測を含めた議論を展開し、重要課題の抽出を目的とした現状分析を進めた。その結果、抽出された課題は分野毎に8分類され、かつ4レベルのスケールに整理されることが明らかになった。本研究は、これを第一次分析結果と位置づけ、今後の継続的な研究の基礎に置くことを2019年12月19日実施の本会議によって確認した。 第35回北方圏国際シンポジウム「オホーツク海と流氷2020」 北方圏国際シンポジウム実行委員会 2019年2月17日-19日 紋別文化会館・市民会館他
