説明

Oman has experienced rapid urban expansion due to economic growth and modernization after 1970, which has resulted in increased energy consumption and CO2 emissions. While environmental protection, sustainable development, and waste management are stated priorities for the Omani government, environmental awareness among the Omani public is generally low. 　This paper explores the Omani government?s efforts towards environmental problems as well as the Omani public?s environmental awareness and practices, drawing upon anthropological fieldwork recently conducted in the Omani capital, Muscat. It demonstrates that while environmental ethics are taught from an Islamic perspective in schools, a Western scientific approach as well as nationalistic sentiments evoked through Omani customs and traditions are widely embraced in environmental discourses articulated by both the Omani government and the citizens. Islamic environmental ethics are widely followed among Omanis, who rely on scientific environmental knowledge acquired mainly from foreign media and utilize nationalistic discourse when explaining their environmental practices. I argue that these three elements ― Islamic, scientific, and nationalistic― are not exclusive but rather eclectic within the environmental discourse of Omani citizens.
