著者：Kina Shuta, Nobuo Mishima, Yoko Taguchi題名：References to Building Laws in Revision of A-sign Criteria in Ryukyu, Japan発表情報：The 4th International Conference on Engineering, Project, and Production Management (EPPM 2013), The Sukosol, Bangkok, Thailand, October 23-25, 2013 ページ: 113-121キーワード：A-Sign Bar, Okinawa, Amendment of Criteria, Bar Management, US Control概要：抄録：In Okinawa, Japan, there remain many establishments called “A-sign” bars, which were managed by the US government during the period of its postwar reign. The A-sign bars were approved by the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands (USCAR), which governed Ryukyu from 1952 until the reversion of Okinawa to Japanese control in 1972. The “A” in the phrase A-sign stands for the word “approved.” A-sign bars were controlled under the A-sign criteria, which were amended once in 1963. Their real intention and actual situation have not been clarified, although the amendment’s purpose is known, as it was carried out to prevent prostitution with reference to the local laws of the Government of Ryukyu. Therefore, the aim of this study is to clarify what the real citations were for revising the management criteria for the “A-sign bars in Okinawa, by drawing a comparison between the new A-sign criteria and the Ryukyu Laws. In doing so, this paper has determined the following: 1) the Ryukyu Laws are the Building Standard Laws and the Sanitation Law of Japan; 2) the criteria can be roughly classified into three categories—sanitary equipment and health, architectural spaces, and locations; and 3) the amendment of the criteria—meant to control American soldiers—was carried out not only by referring to Japanese laws, but also by introducing information from the New Criteria Booklet created by the US government. We believe that these results show that the amendment was intended to prevent prostitution as well as to address concerns about anti-American sentiment in Okinawa at that time.英語フィールド
