There is insufficient support for archival systems sufficient to help historical understanding of environmental quality and relationship with human society, as well as local governance mechanisms to make this work socially for future choices. To improve such a situation as much as possible, how can we reflect our knowledge of our past relationship with water and its use as a resource? This presentation targets the case of the Okinawa Islands, where wells and springs are still treated as sacred even today when they are no longer used.
In this presentation, I focus on both the ways in which watering places continue to exist in the community and the ways in which they are shared based on the knowledge of past experiences related to watering places. First, I clarify the process of citizens' activities to visit and record watering places and the motivation behind the archive concept. Second, the process of materializing the archive concept will be clarified, and how the purpose and content of the activities can be reflected in the development of information tools, which supports the collaborative use of archival knowledge about watering places while visualizing the linkage of knowledge using a knowledge graph, will be shown.
