군항도시 사세보(佐世保)의 평화산업항만도시로의 전환을 위한 도전 : 사이카이(西海) 국립공원 지정 과정에 주목하여

Abstract

Sasebo has been established as a military strategic point since the opening of the Ministry of Chinju-fu in July 1889. Since the inauguration of Mayor Masasuke Tanaka in 1946, the tourism industry has been promoted to realize a peace-industry port city in order to shed the image of a military port city, and the West Sea area, including the waters around Sasebo, has made every effort to be designated as a national park. However, the Korean War broke out in 1950 during the height of discussions on the designation of a Saikai national park, and it served as an opportunity to promote Japan's rearmament by the United States. The Maritime Security Agency was established by MacArthur in July 1950, and its general superintendent was assigned to Sasebo. The prefectural governor of Nishioka and the mayor of Tanaka expressed their will to catch two rabbits, port of a military and commerce, in consideration of the local economy. Through various difficulties in 1955, the West Sea area was unanimously decided as the first national park and was officially designated on March 16. This paper intends to consider the activities that Sasebo City promoted to convert from a military port city to a tourist city and the process of designation of Saikai National Park. In addition, in the history of East Asia, I would like to investigate the process of transforming a military port city called Sasebo into a peace industry port city.
