|
| “Okinawa / Yamato” / Kenta Higa / Wako University /Japan |
 |
People born and raised in Okinawa refer to “Japan outside of Okinawa” as “inland, Yamato, and mainland” and the people who live there as “Naicha, Yamatunchu, and people from the mainland.” This documentary explores the mental line between “Okinawa” and “Yamato” that can be seen from such a single name. Born in Okinawa but living in the interior, Higa’s camera moves back and forth between “the individual and society,” “the parties and the non-parties,” and the “opposing ideologies” with “fiction and reality,” and the “line” is brought to light. (98min) |

On Wednesday, October 8, Mr. Jiayi Zhang, President of Tamkang University, President of the International Cooperation Foundation for Higher Education (FICHET) in Taiwan, paid a courtesy visit to Mr. Tetsuma Akamatsu, President of the University Consortium Kyoto (Representative Secretary of the National Council of University Consortiums and President of Ryukoku University).
FICHET is a Taiwanese consortium established in Taiwan in 2006 and currently has 118 member schools and is engaged in various activities in the field of higher education in Taiwan, including international collaboration. During this visit, discussions were held to promote international education in Japan and Taiwan in cooperation with the National University Consortium Council. Among them, it was confirmed that Japan and Taiwan will cooperate in public relations to attract international students to each other.
In addition, Kyoto universities and the University Consortium Kyoto are scheduled to participate in the study abroad fair hosted by Kyoto City in Taiwan in December this year, and an agreement was reached to establish a cooperative system at that time.

The role of biodiversity conservation in Kyoto’s unique attractions, such as its traditions, culture, and tourism, and measures needed in the future
| Research Themes |
Knowledge of the symbiosis of the natural environment in the lives of citizens and evaluation of the actual conditions of familiar biota |
| Principal Investigator |
Professor, Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University |
| Research Summary |
The knowledge of coexistence with the natural environment and the actual state of the biota around us, which have been nurtured in the lives of citizens, are presented through household surveys in the Shirakawa River system, field surveys at the Shirakawa Children’s Festival, questionnaires to temples and shrines on wildlife trends, field surveys of forest vegetation damage (mainly caused by deer), and surveys of townhouse gardens. Based on this, we proposed the creation of a support framework between departments in charge of the government and in cooperation with citizens so that efforts to coexist with the natural environment that take root in the lives of citizens will lead to the creation of an attractive city that is unique to Kyoto. |

Conditions for the Success of Social Business and Necessary Measures ~From the Perspective of Supporting Small and Medium-sized Enterprises~
| Research Themes |
Empirical Research on the Development and Dissemination of Social Business Using Student Participatory Business Competitions |
| Principal Investigator |
Associate Professor, Faculty of Business Administration, Kyoto Sangyo University, Mr. Etsuga Omuro |
| Research Summary |
With the cooperation of companies that manufacture and sell social products, a competition was held over a period of about 100 days in which students made proposals for their development and dissemination, and the changes in students’ own perceptions and behaviors before and after participation were investigated. Based on the results, we showed that being involved in social business may lead to the development of socially oriented consumers, and proposed the enhancement of socially oriented consumer education for younger people (high school students, etc.) and the creation of an environment that makes it easy to start a business. |

Urban planning issues for narrow streets adjacent to main roads
~Toward the Maintenance and Conservation of “Historic Narrow Streets”~ |
| Principal Investigator |
Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University Researcher Sachiko Morishige |
| Research Summary |
Through a survey of the situation of narrow streets in the so-called “Tanogata district,” we grasped its characteristics and issues. We proposed measures such as urban planning regulations for high-rise buildings facing narrow streets, clarification of the handling of cul-de-sacs that are “non-roads” under the Building Standards Act, guidance for the installation of emergency evacuation exits, and creation of rules to adjust the relationship between narrow streets and high-rise buildings. |
