碩士 / 靜宜大學 / 觀光事業學系 / 102 / Setouchi Triennale, located around Seto Inland Sea, has been the biggest island modern art festival worldwide since 2010. Inspired by the Inland Sea and island culture, all the works of art spread either alfresco or indoors, are composed by the artists, the locals and the Koebi volunteers. With the assistance of Koebi, Setouchi Triennale wins the hearts of the modern art lovers and practically vitalizes the aging islanders. More than 1.07 millions people from within and outside Japan visited Triennale in 2013. The volunteer group, Koebi Tai, or Shrimp troop, accompaning with the locals all the way, deserves the name of island supporter, both the regional and the spiritual. The study focuses on Japan Setouchi Triennale Koebi Tai and aims to discuss volunteers participation in festival tourism. The survey continues for one year. Both participant observation and in-depth interview, along with the semi-constructured outline manages the survey. Five male and twelve female respondants conduct the in-depth interview, including managers of Setouchi Triennale Committee and Koebi Tai, Takeda Naoki and Ayako Amari. Findings suggest: First, motives vary among Koebi respondants. Secondly, Koebi governing by doing nothing and precise curatorial concepts about Setouchi Triennale are both highly appreciated by the respondants. Thirdly, collaboration mechanism formed by co-operating Koebi with Kagawa and Okayama Prefecture enables Setouchi Triennale to be the big hit. Fourth, postitive repondence upon the increasing reputation of the Seto islands shows with the consequence of tourism initiative while the lack of labor force might be the obstacle. Worry reveals in term of tourism impacts that the tranquility of islanders may be destroyed.
