Local wisdom of land and water management: The fundamental anthroscape of Japan

Abstract

With the combination of the advanced prediction and the traditional knowledge like Mitameshi, we can foster local wisdom for wise land and water management and improvement of the regional environment. Such an approach may be effective in solving the problems caused by global climate changes resulting in living of humans in harmony with nature, which means living in a better anthroscape. Ultimately, the wisdom of Suido is to be sublimed to the context of ecosophy. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2011.
