Abstract

This paper is aiming to make it clear that why a village had been traditionally dealing with the problem of mass-tourism through focusing on developing community in the basis of historical environment, while refusing external actors, finally accepted a large scale resort from external side. That is because as an advanced area of developing traditional culture and tourism in the meanwhile, the endogeneity of Taketomi island seemed to be changed when it took this decision.<br> However, when looking at this village in a span of over half-century development history, I found that in order to resolve living problem, each organization and individual in this area has been interacting with various external actors, and trying to find a cooperative one within limited choices at all such times. In this paper, I am going to discuss regional endogeneity from the perspective of partnership development while the resort will be seen as a kind of cooperation with external actors. Through this, I would like to point out that we need to be more positively discussing our criteria on what should be chosen and what shouldn’t be.
