In practising FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) scientific research, we should change the research mindset to an open one. In particular, to promote international and interdisciplinary joint research with researchers from different countries and fields who have different mindsets for research evaluation and values, it is necessary to be aware of differences in research cultures and to foster mutual trust. In this paper, we report on the actual data sharing in the joint research with the Brazilian team in the Belmont Forum Collaborative Research Activity "Building New Tools for Data Sharing and Reuse through a Transnational Investigation of the Socioeconomic Impacts of Protected Areas" (PARSEC), and discuss its outcomes and challenges. In this joint research, 15 municipalities in the vicinity and non-vicinity of Towada-Hachimantai National Park and Osorezan Mountain Forest Ecosystem Reserve were selected in three prefectures in the Kita-Tohoku region (Aomori, Iwate, and Akita), and time series correlation analysis was conducted between night-time satellite images and socioeconomic indicators such as GDP from 2000 to 2021. It became clear that the meaning of the data could not be well conveyed to other parties by a simple explanation of metadata because socioeconomic indicators are highly context-dependent, with individual trends for each municipality not necessarily corresponding to regional trends, such as the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.
