“…The 2000s see the emergence of studies on the livelihood strategies of the individuals involved in fishery, as well as the mechanism of how fishery and the fishing communities are maintained. For example, Oro (2000) wrote a case study of Oki Islands in the Sea of Japan discussing the conditions that enabled migrants from the major urban centers to become newly employed. He pointed out that there is need to establish a political system that guarantees stable employment and pay; the entire community must play the role of an incubator for the acquisition of the necessary skills and capital; and that it is essential to improve the living environment on the island to include residences, health care and education.…”

This paper provides an overview of the trends in Japan's geographical studies on islands by tabulating all academic papers published from 1907 through 2012. The paper offers a bird's-eye perspective on the overall research trends as well as identifying more specific trends based on the research results since the 1980s in each of the research fields. There were five waves when islands were actively studied. Of the two categories of geographical island studies, Group 2 rooted in systematic geography made great advances after the 1980s. In addition to the studies on agriculture, settlement and fishery which had always been popular, there was an increase in the number of studies concerning new human phenomena, such as tourism, transportation and population. In contrast, Group 1 studies on island theory and island policy have not progressed since the 1980s. Better organization of researchers involved in island studies and more active research exchanges can lead to the vitalization of island studies within Japan's geographical studies. It is anticipated that this will also serve to revive and further develop studies on island theory and island policy. Hereafter, island studies must research practical achievements in response to the various problems faced by islands, including the issues of land use, ecology, and aging population combined with the diminishing number of children. Further, through collaborations with researchers abroad and empirical studies on the issues of the islands of the world in this global age, there is a possibility that theories applicable to Japanese islands may be reconstructed from a global point of view.

This study aims toˆnd a way to increase the number of newˆshers considering the decrease in number. We conducted a questionnaire survey to clarify the perceptions and demographics of respondents at aˆsheries job fair in Tokyo and collected 223 answered questionnaires. We then employed descriptive statistics analysis, and logit and ordered logit regression analyses. We found the following characteristics of those who wish to gainˆsheries experience: young; no children; preference for blue-collar than white-collar work; and hobbies related to marine, river, or lake activities. The results suggest that promotions that re‰ect our results and collaboration with companies related to recreationalˆshing and scuba diving would be eŠective to attract potentialˆshers toˆsheries job fairs. The results will also be useful for developing countermeasures to address the labor shortage in theˆsheries industry.
