POTENTIAL OF LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES:A POSSIBILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?53Religion in everyday life. Even in the tourist area at Sanur Beach (left), Balinese people pay respect to the gods.Photo: Weerawut KangwannavakulIn Japan, Shirakawa-go is an old village in a onceisolatedvalley in Gifu prefecture. The valley hasbecome a major tourism attraction due to its lakes, hotsprings, national park and unique large farm houseswith distinctive thatched roofs in the gassho style(gassho zukuri), which translates as the shape of claspedhands. The roofs, whose design dates back some 300years, are constructed at a 60-degree angle to preventthe gathering of snow (the area experiences severewinters). Shirakawa-go was made a UNESCO WorldCultural Heritage site in 1995 and its popularity isincreasing. Today it is visited by an average of1,500,000 Japanese and foreign visitors annually.Numbers increased dramatically after 2008 when anew expressway and tunnel shortened travel time tothe location.Ogimachi is the largest village and main attraction ofShirakawa-go. In 1971, the village had a policy of“Don’t Sell,” “Don’t Rent” and “Don’t Destroy,”which was designed to help the village maintain itslocal character. However, when mass tourism arrived,new and unexpected problems followed. Traffic jamsbecame a health and safety issue. Farmlands wereabandoned as farmers became owners of gift shops andrestaurants. Some agricultural land was turned intoincome-generating parking spaces. The locationbecame less attractive. Business and personal conflictsincreased within the community. Formerly strongrelationships were eroded.Around 2009-2010, members of the population ofShirakawa-go began to realize that large number oftourists might not always provide the best results.Studies of tourist behavior showed that many touristsspent only 45 minutes in the village. Tourists went onbrief walks, took photographs, went to the toilets,disposed of their garbage and then moved on. They didnot spend money or enter the houses to see the way oflife. The numbers of visitors staying overnight was indecline. Residents decided that the quality of touristwas more important than the quantity. Visitors shouldresult in a greater spread of income around thecommunity. These were large challenges to which theWorld Heritage village must still find an answer.The Work of the 2010/2011 API Fellows
