In addition to Shiretoko Tours mentioned at the start of the book, this work also covers community resource theory and ecotour guides.

This eagerly awaited book summarizes the impacts of ecotourism on the natural environment and looks at countermeasures against such impacts, to assist those active in the ecotourism field across Japan. This indispensable guide for practitioners provides an introduction to coexistence-based ecotourism to protect nature while employing it as a tourism resource along with specific examples of such ecotourism, and it also describes strategies for designing ways of taking advantage of a community’s natural environment through ecotourism.

I authored a chapter in the section on the fundamentals of recovery-oriented community development warning against too much haste in recovery efforts.

In this book, researchers and practitioners from the front lines of community development for disaster recovery discuss preparations for supporting recovery efforts and fundamental frames of reference, including: what experts on architecture, urban planning, and community revitalization can do toward recovery efforts and what they should avoid doing; how to build an environment in which disaster victims can think calmly about recovery; revitalization of peoples’ homes and livelihoods; addressing population decreases; keeping an eye on the nuclear accident; and recovery in Japan.

I authored Chapter 11, “Can Tourism Contribute to Building a Low-Carbon Society?”
I took the cover photos at various locations in Hokkaido.

Based on the content of a well-received lecture entitled “A Sustainable Low-carbon Society” conducted as part of a series of public lectures by departments of Hokkaido University in 2009, this book explains, in a systematic and comprehensive manner, basic knowledge across a wide range of fields related to a sustainable low-carbon society and practical insights on community development. This introductory text on global environmental issues for the undergraduate or master’s-degree level provides easy-to-understand introductions to topics including the history of global environmental changes and projections for the future, based on environmental science; the ideal forms of a low-carbon society and policies for achieving them, based on social studies; trends in the “Green New Deal” policies being enacted around the world; and how to achieve a low carbon society in urban and rural communities and in everyday living and tourism.

Clearly identifying the roles of branding and marketing in community development through tourism, this book employs models and case studies to describe strategies for promoting community development conscious of tourists and consumers from outside the community, as opposed to traditional community development that has focused mainly on improvements to the community itself. It is recommended reading for those who want to promote new styles of community development through tourism.

Ecotourism in Japan first began to boom in the second half of the 1990s, and it has accelerated with the enactment in April of the Ecotourism Promotion Act. However, it has proven difficult to find an answer to the question of just what it means, in practical terms, to promote ecotourism.

This book explains in detail the process of ecotourism promotion from a community perspective and describes in full how to enrich the community by taking advantage of ecotourism’s strengths.
