Abstract

This paper outlines the research method of geography on fishing village and fishery, and introduces the case of fishing village promotion from geography. The first case study is the development of local cuisine around “Heshiko” (Processed Fishery Product) in Mihama-cho, Fukui Prefecture. It is that the activities of the pioneers and women’s groups are important. The second is the preservation of the fishing village landscape and the conversion of tourism resources from “Funaya” (Fishery House) Ine-cho, Kyoto Prefecture. In 2005, Funaya settlement was designated as an important traditional buildings preservation area, and the number of tourists increased. In two cases, rationality is clarified by appropriately changing the space-time scale. Such geography research methods are effective in understanding the new utilization of regional resources.
