The View of the Person Concerned by the Experiment which Uses the Wild Boar Meat by the Measure against Wildlife Damage as a Local Specialty

A Case study on the “Yamizo Shishimaru” project of Nakagawa town, Tochigi Pref.

Abstract

The project which uses the wild boar meat by the measure against wildlife damage of Nakagawa town as a local specialty was investigated. The opportunity of the project originated in the dense relation between the local administration and a hunting group. In order to solve the subject of the area, administration was promoting the project by the implementation structure which connected each sector. The increase in a hunter's hunting volition and strengthening of a sense of solidarity with a local activity, and promotion of the eagerness to sell of the specialty by the wild boar meat of a retail store were accepted as a result of this project.
