(1) New development of the Kyoto brand in attracting international students
~Development of a model case based on the University Consortium Kyoto~ (2020 project)
| Summary of Research |
The purpose of this survey is to further promote the internationalization of universities in the Kyoto region from the perspective of accepting international students. Through questionnaire surveys and interviews, we organized the current situation and issues of the member universities of the University Consortium Kyoto and investigated precedents. Based on these findings, we will propose a model case in which the efforts of each university and the efforts of inter-university collaboration organizations can synergize and contribute to the expansion of international student attraction. |
| Principal Investigator |
Ritsumeikan University, General Affairs Department, Secretarial Section, Noritaka Hashimoto |
(2) Social network analysis of the role structure of the University Consortium Kyoto member universities in the regional network (2020 project)
| Summary of Research |
In this survey, the network analysis and statistical analysis of a wealth of data on social-related capital, industrial-related capital, human capital, intellectual capital, and cultural capital collected through the organizational data of the University Consortium Kyoto, the input-output table of Kyoto Prefecture, a questionnaire survey of member universities, and the “Kyoto Prefectural University Brand Survey” of the Kyoto regional brand were used to determine that the University Consortium Kyoto and its member universities are responsible for the regional industries and cultural capital of Kyoto. We have clarified how they contribute to the production and maintenance of local cultural resources from multiple perspectives. |
| Principal Investigator |
Kyoto Sangyo University, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Professor, Jun Kanemitsu |
(3) Re-Exploring Kyoto’s Core Values: Toward the Future of Unit Interchangeability (FY2021 Task)
| Summary of Research |
Amid the declining birthrate and aging society and the progress of globalization, there is a movement to re-examine the essence of inter-university collaboration along with individual reforms at higher education institutions, such as the introduction of the university collaboration promotion corporation system.
This survey makes recommendations for the future of the credit transfer system, based on the fact that the credit transfer program of the University Consortium Kyoto has been conducted as a learning system that reflects the regional characteristics and advantages of the university town and Kyoto. |
| Principal Investigator |
Ritsumeikan University Institute for the Promotion of Common Education Professor Hironori Yamaguchi |
