In order to study the coexistence of humans and nature that is required in our lives, we need not only the general concept of a sustainable relationship between humans and nature, but also the elements specific to the region and their characteristics. For this purpose, if we can elucidate not only the current situation but also the process of change over time and the relationship with the factors that affect that change, we will be able to clarify the characteristics of the local community. This paper compares the resource utilization characteristics of geographically close villages in Fiji, to demonstrate the process of long-term (12-14 years) transformation of human-nature relationships. Considering the future use of resources, changes in the villages are suggested, and it is necessary to build a new resource use and management system from a long-term perspective.
