The people of Japan have changed their environment to better suit their needs by building cities, using land to grow food, building harbors, building dams etc.                                  Japan has long been characterized as a nation with virtually no natural resources likeoil, natural gas, coal, iron and copper. More than 125 million people live on land area ranking only 61st in the world in terms of size.
What are the relationships among the people of Japan and Japan. 
I’d say it is a good relationship because the japanese clean up Japan’s environment. They clean up its streets, oceans etc.
