Abstract
Information system researches are internationally very active as the importance of the information infrastructure in society increases. In Japan, the research and development about the information processing technologies and these applications, which are the functional mechanisms of information systems, are also very active. However, we feel that the important information system researches are inactive or even decreasing. We think that the feature of the Japanese cultural environment causes this situation and it appears not only in the tendency of the research subjects, but also in the trend of the research viewpoints. In this paper, the feature of the Japanese cultural environment is discussed based on the analysis of the research papers of JASMIN conferences for 1 decade.
