Conducting on-site surveys in municipal housing –
Freedom Project 1 “Spatial Composition and Transition in Municipal Housing and Surrounding Residential Areas in the Suburbs of Kyoto City”

In this survey and research theme, in collaboration with the Kyoto City Housing and Community Development Division, we are trying to clarify the relationship between municipal housing in the suburbs of the city’s 99 housing complexes and the surrounding area from (1) the exterior of the buildings bordering the housing complex, (2) the use of open space in the housing complex, and (3) the situation of the site boundary. The results of the survey are expected to be used in the development and reorganization of municipal housing in the future.

On September 17, the principal investigator, Mr./Ms. Masaki, a doctoral student at Kyoto Institute of Technology, conducted a third on-site survey at a municipal housing complex in Yamashina Ward. (The past two meetings were held in Yamashina Ward and Fushimi Ward in August.)

In order to clarify the relationship between municipal housing and the surrounding area, we will take photographs of the boundary between the local municipal housing site and the road and the site, and carefully record the dimensions and the width of the adjacent road.
We will also check the state of the open space on the site and the status of entrances and exits outside the site.

It is also important to know what the entrance, which is the boundary between municipal housing and the local area, looks like.

By analyzing the results of these surveys on multiple municipal housing projects and materials on the transition of municipal housing, and deciphering the characteristics of the local environment around municipal housing, it will be useful for considering the consolidation of municipal housing stock in the future. In fact, the results of such a survey were unlikely to occur before.

 

Experiments in creating the future start in the tea room –
Designated Topic (2) “Creating a Place for Exchange in the Inner City Area”

In this survey and research theme, we will conduct empirical research to foster and network the formation of merchants, businesses, and citizens who promote the rediscovery and creation of “local value” through “creating a place for exchange” that takes advantage of the attractiveness of local resources accumulated in the city center.

On the evening of August 27, a new place for exchange was set up for the revitalization of commerce in the city at the “Demonstration Experiment on the Development of Merchants and Citizens and the Formation of Networks by Creating a Place for Exchange” conducted by Professor Masanobu Nishimura of the Graduate School of Craft Sciences of Kyoto Institute of Technology in collaboration with the Kyoto City Commercial Promotion Division.

A lot of ideas popped up.

At the “Future Session,” which was accompanied by a surprising gimmick to create a tea room out of cardboard in a townhouse that was more than 100 years old, participants from a variety of attributes, including local merchants, shared ideas necessary for the future of the town with their eyes shining.

Based on these, various entities such as merchants, businesses, citizens, and artists will connect and create a “place” to create. In a few years, the city may look completely different from what it is now.

The 17th Kyoto International Student Film Festival Kyotango Film Commission Collaboration Project Held!

Kyotango Film Commission

The Kyotango Film Commission is a project launched in 2013 in Kyotango City with the aim of creating a tourism community through attracting locations for video production and supporting video production.
The Kyoto International Student Film Festival, in collaboration with Kyotango City, held a two-day screening for Kyotango residents and local high school students on August 20 (Wednesday) and 21 (Thursday).
With the theme of this year’s festival concept, “A Film Festival that Jumps Out,” the executive committee of this festival went to Kyotango City to deliver student films.

Outline of the project

participant 7 members of the executive committee, 20 general visitors, 30 second-year students of Amino High School

 

Contents and Implementation Report

Day 1

On the first day, in the Mie and Morimoto districts of Kyotango City, four student films that have been selected for the festival were screened.
After the screening, we had a barbecue with Mr./Ms. from the community, and we were able to have a deep exchange while talking about the films to be screened and our daily student life.
IMG_3305

Day 2

On the second day, we went to Kyoto Prefectural Amino High School. In front of about 30 second-year students from Amino High School’s Department of Planning and Management, we screened two past selected films and talked about what the executive committee members usually do, the roles of each department, and the difficulties in running a film festival.
IMG_3319 IMG_3324


After the exchange meeting with the high school students, the staff of Kyotango City took us to sightseeing spots such as “Tateiwa”, where movies and dramas are actively filmed, and we were able to fully enjoy the nature and history of Kyotango!
IMG_3331

After 2 days

Through this activity, we were able to deliver films to people who do not have many opportunities to see them in theaters on a daily basis, and through the screenings, we were able to interact and exchange opinions with local Mr./Ms.. Although this event was an event to promote the main festival to be held in November and the “Kyotango Film Week 2014” in December, it was also an opportunity for us to rethink the way film screenings should be and to learn about regional revitalization through interaction with local Mr./Ms..
We are planning to hold several pre-events this year. Through these activities, we hope to create a film festival that will make the fun of student films more widely recognized by allowing visitors to enjoy the festival in November.
* The next day, the Kyoto Shimbun (Kyotango regional edition) covered the event.

English Skill Improvement Training “Active Learning in the Classroom” was held!

Report on “Active Learning in the Classroom”

On July 26, we invited Ms. Mikako Nishikawa, an advisor to the Japan Eiken Association, as a lecturer and held “Active Learning in the Classroom,” an English skill improvement training program for teachers at member universities.
This training was held as part of the “English Skill Improvement Training for University Teachers” conducted by the University Consortium Kyoto since 2013, and was held for faculty members with a focus on “classes” and was attended by 11 people from five universities.
DSC08074
In the training, following the icebreaker, active learning (active learning is “active learning”, and it is not a lecture style in which the instructor transfers knowledge unilaterally, but subject research, PBL (project/problem based learning), discussions, presentations, etc. In addition to deepening their understanding of the class format that incorporates active learning, they also learned phrases that are often used in classes using English. There are various expressions such as demonstrative words used in classes and phrases that are useful when introducing active learning, and it was suggested that the participating teachers choose and use expressions that can be used more naturally in class.
Next, while experiencing group discussions and workshop methods, the students discussed strategies for designing effective discussions and effective feedback and evaluation methods in classes using active learning while sharing case studies, and made group presentations as a result.

DSC08122
In this training, he also spoke about issues such as how difficult it is to derive common effective measures due to the difference in daily class management due to differences in specialized fields and class sizes, and how to increase the motivation of Japan students, who have not been accustomed to giving presentations in front of others since childhood. However, despite the lengthy workshop, all participants were very active in the training, such as exchanging information on ideas in the classroom across disciplines and discussing specific ways to improve the classroom through discussions.
This was the first time that the University Consortium Kyoto conducted English skill improvement training for teachers only, but we will continue to provide training programs that are in high demand while taking into account the opinions and requests of participants.

English Skill Improvement Training “English Voice Training” was held!


On Saturday, July 19, we invited Mr. Kazuhiro Takemura of the TLL Language Research Institute as a lecturer and held the first FD/SD English Skill Improvement Seminar “English Voice Training” for university faculty and staff, with a total of 60 participants from many member universities and junior colleges. This class was held last year and was very popular.

IMG_0021 IMG_0033

In the seminar, it is effective to conduct voice training after understanding the pronunciation of English and its characteristics as a language, so in the morning, while comparing English and Japanese, we explained the characteristics of English consonants and vowels, and the difference in pronunciation methods (English is the language of breath, while Japanese is the language of voice), A theoretical lecture was given on the difference in accents (English accents are added by strength and weakness, while Japanese is accented by pitch and low) with video materials.

In the afternoon, we practiced pronunciation based on the contents of the theory lecture in the morning. The pronunciation practice was systematically carried out according to the characteristics of the phonetic symbols, and the mechanism of mouth and tongue movement during pronunciation was illustrated using a white boat, making it a very practical and enjoyable training.

After the pronunciation practice, the students gave a lecture on the basic knowledge and know-how for giving presentations in English, as well as effective English learning methods.

In the questionnaire, “I was able to solve things that I didn’t understand on a daily basis,” and “It was good that I was able to take the course regardless of my level of English proficiency.” Comments such as “It was good to see the visible practical practice.”

The 1st SD Workshop Training 2014 was held!

On Saturday, June 21, we invited Ms. Atsuko Nagai, Secretary General of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, as a topic contributor and held the first “SD Workshop Training 2014” workshop entitled “Thinking about the Asset of ‘Time’ ~For Work to Be One of the Rewards~”, which was attended by a total of 13 people from various universities.


●Schedule on the day
・Topic provision
・Q&A and exchange of opinions
・Icebreaker (arm wrestling tournament)
・Group discussion divided into 3 groups
・Presentations by participants

In the topic of the discussion, the workload of university staff is increasing year by year due to the increase in expectations for universities due to changes in social conditions in recent years, and the work environment is becoming more severe.It was predicted that the number of staff in their 30s ~ 40s will increase. As we enter an era in which the number of employees with “diverse work styles” such as childbirth, childcare, and balancing nursing care and work will increase, he talked about the importance of building an environment in which each employee can understand each other’s circumstances and be involved in their work efficiently with limited working hours, and maintaining a high level of motivation for each employee, increasing productivity, and making work time “free.”

In the group discussion, we were given a topic and summarized the opinions of each group on the conditions for a lazy time at work.
In the summary, participants were given the task of searching for a way to change “painful time” into “lazy time” and thinking about the position of the “lazy work time” they found as a result in their own lives (life). “In my daily work, I am stuck in a vicious cycle because I don’t have enough time and mental space.” Participants who are aware of issues such as “I want to make my daily life more fulfilling” said, “I was able to exchange opinions with people from various universities.” “I was able to spend a fulfilling and useful time,” and “I would like to connect today’s story to my future work.” Positive impressions such as these were received.
