Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study is to clarify the significance of historic preservation and utilization for Japanese American community in the old Japan town in Seattle. The area where ethnic communities live is attractive as a tourist destination. However, in Japan, the attractiveness of such a district is utilized only in a limited area. Historic preservation and utilization are popular in the target area, and we investigated the actual condition from before World War II to the present. We focused on the Japanese American community's own organization, education, culture, architecture and landscape, in addition to social background and administrative measures. As a result, it was found that the preservation and utilization of built environment to help understand the life history of ethnic communities is useful for maintaining the ethnicity of the district.</p>
