Research is underway! ~Future Kyoto Creative Research Project: From the Field of Surveys and Research~
Each of the survey and research themes adopted in the 2014 “Future Kyoto Creative Research Project” is working toward unknown results. We will introduce the state of the site!
Future Kyoto Creation Research Project Survey and Research Themes in FY2014
Held a rough roundtable meeting between Kyoto companies and international students –
Designated Project 3 “Analysis of Trends in Employment of International Students After Graduation from University and Research on Support Measures in Local Governments, Companies, and Universities”
On the evening of February 3, when the research was finally in its prime, the research group of Professor Kazuhiko Ishihara of the Ritsumeikan University Career Center, which is conducting the research, held a rough roundtable discussion to deepen mutual understanding between international students and Kyoto companies before job hunting.
At this roundtable meeting, which was attended by 7 Kyoto companies and 25 international students, the participants were divided into groups and discussed the theme of “Why do companies hire international students and what companies do international students want to work for?”
In a rough atmosphere, Kyoto companies expressed their expectations for international students to play a role as a bridge for vitality and overseas expansion, and international students spoke frankly about communication based on cultural differences and concerns about Japan’s corporate culture.
Through the results of this roundtable discussion and questionnaire survey, we plan to compile proposals for capacity building programs for international students and Kyoto companies, as well as measures to improve the working environment for international students by Kyoto City.
The University Consortium Kyoto has high hopes for the research results that will benefit Kyoto companies, Kyoto universities, and Kyoto City!
Conducting a field survey of the garden of a Kyoto machiya –
Ongoing Theme: “The Environment of Residential Gardens and the Impact of Their Reduction on Biota”
Mr./Ms. Niino and three members of Professor Shozo Shibata’s seminar at the Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, who are conducting the research, are conducting a field survey of the gardens of Kyomachiya houses that are more than 100 years old in the Nishijin area.
In order to clarify the relationship between the distribution of Kyomachiya and old residential gardens and the biota of birds, Mr./Ms. Niino and other members of the Kyomachiya were actually surveyed as part of a questionnaire survey of residents of houses with gardens in the Momozono School District, Kamigyo-ku, along with interviews with residents.
On Thursday, December 4, the survey was conducted in a light rain.
We will carefully listen to the plants in the garden, the types of birds that fly, the status of garden care, etc., and put them down in the diagram.
There are things that you can’t understand unless you see the site, and Mr./Ms. Niino works tirelessly to create new developments by seeing them. This research, which focuses on the spatial distribution of Kyomachiya gardens and the creatures that inhabit them, is unprecedented, and we are looking forward to seeing the results.
Collaboration project with Chukyo Machibito Café –
Designation Project 2 “Creating a Place for Exchange in Urban Areas”
On the evening of Thursday, November 27, a collaboration event with Chukyo Machibito Café was held at Shinpukan in Nakagyo-ku as part of the “Tea Essay Proposal-an Project,” which aims to “create a place for exchange in the city of Kyoto with the theme of commerce” through the collaboration of Professor Masanobu Nishimura of Kyoto Institute of Technology and the Kyoto City Commercial Promotion Division.
I love the town of Chukyo and want to do something! It was a place where “Machibito” and “Akinaibito”, a merchant, mingled and talked passionately in a real café as a venue, writing down their thoughts on creating the future of business in the city of Kyoto on paper napkins.
In order to create a place where the ideas that jump out from the participants will become the threads that will weave the future of business in the city of Kyoto, further trials of the Charonsukan project will continue.
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 Wednesday, September 17, the principal investigator, Mr./Ms. Masaki, a doctoral student at Kyoto Institute of Technology, conducted his 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.
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 –
Designation Project 2 “Creating a Place for Exchange in Urban Areas”
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 Wednesday, August 27, a new place for exchange was established in 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 and Sciences of Kyoto Institute of Technology in collaboration with the Kyoto City Commercial Promotion Division.
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 18th Kyoto International Student Film Festival Competition Submission Begins!
Business Overview
This film festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan, planned and operated mainly by university students in the Kansai region, mainly in Kyoto. We aim to discover future filmmakers by creating opportunities for students to gather, judge, and screen independent films produced by students from all over the world.
Historically, Kyoto is a “movie town” that still inherits the cultural heritage of the early days of Japan cinema, and it is also a “university town and student town” where students account for 10% of the population of Kyoto City.
This festival aims to revitalize Kyoto by creating a place for international exchange and mutual understanding by discovering and introducing talents who can add new fields to cinema from among the many possibilities of films from around the world.

Girls Career Talk in Kyoto [Finished]
Girls Career Talk in Kyoto
~Thinking about the way women live in the future~
Modern society expects women to play an active role, and the government is implementing various initiatives with the aim of “creating a society in which all women shine.” As an approach to high school and female university students who will be the leaders of the future and who are making career choices in the future, the first question should be “What kind of jobs are there in society?” and “Is it really possible to balance work and family?” In order to face and respond to such simple questions and anxieties, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council and the High School Consortium Kyoto invite women from various industries who are actually active in society to listen to their diverse career experiences, talk together, and hold a project in which Mr./Ms., a female high school student and female university student, thinks about her future.
We are looking forward to receiving applications from all Mr./Ms. of female high school and female university students in the Mr./Ms..

On Saturday, December 20th, we will hold the 3rd SD Workshop for Staff Promoting Student Growth!
In a situation where the environment surrounding universities is changing rapidly, the management and operation of universities has come to occupy an important position, and the role of university staff is becoming extremely important. In order to adapt to such an environment, we are developing a variety of projects to improve the qualifications of university staff, including management and education and research support.
In the SD workshop, students will make new discoveries, deepen their awareness, and create a network of human exchange that cannot be obtained through lectures through discussions with colleagues from other companies in the same industry (staff from other universities).
If you are interested in trends in higher education policy, if you work with student staff or part-time students, or if you are interested in the “reflection” that is currently in vogue, please join us.

About the announcement
Each project was given 25 minutes to debrief on the results, and the progress and time allocation were devised according to the project.
Below are excerpts from the presentations of each project.
Intelligence Office Co., Ltd. ~Hitomanabi Internship 2014~
I worked to publish the free paper “Hitomanabi”. The free paper will be published on Tuesday, November 25, and will be set up at universities in Kyoto and other regions.We introduced the revenue and expenditure of expenses, the number of sales, and the companies listed in specific figures, and explained the process of issuing free papers.
In the Q&A session, when asked “What was it like to make use of the student’s point of view?”, he replied, “Since it is aimed at university students, we were able to incorporate our own opinions, both on the publisher side and on the receiving side.”
On Saturday, December 20th, we will also promote the event “Free Research “Working Real” for 3rd year university students” at the Kyoto Sangyo Kaikan at Kirato Plaza.
Go to the project homepage
At the social gathering, we asked students from other projects to cooperate, and we all took a photo with the flyers.
Yumecom Co., Ltd. ~Learn the process involved in publishing an information magazine about your own retirement and family care~
This is a project to edit and produce an information magazine called “LifeLike” published by the host company.
I wanted to write an article that would help elderly people who have few hobbies to have goals, so I planned an interview article with a person who started running marathons at the age of 92 and was selected.
I interviewed people and created the manuscript while thinking about what I wanted to convey, and although I left the design to a specialist, I thought of the rough draft myself, and after checking with the interviewer, I submitted it and completed it.
When I finished my article, I was able to get a good impression of it by asking actual elderly people to read it and ask for their opinions.
Curiosity and a wide range of knowledge are important things in creating articles, but above all, “passion” was important.
University Consortium Kyoto ~”Study in Kyoto!” Overseas Student Acceptance Program Planning~
In preparation for the increase in the number of international students in Kyoto through a collaborative project with Kyoto City, we came up with a plan for support and exchange for international students.
We asked international students in Kyoto about what they needed. After listening to various requests, we divided the international students into two categories, “life support” and “cultural understanding,” and approached them in two ways: “buddy program” and “information.”
When proposing BBQ and hot pot parties as exchange projects, I realized that there were things that I couldn’t understand just by actually inspecting the site and thinking about it.
Photo right) Guidebooks and maps with information on Wifi and transportation were distributed as deliverables.
Insight House Co., Ltd. ~Mr./Ms. of Kyono Yamashina~
The goal is to spread “Yamashina Mr./Ms.”. The activity of “Yamashina Mr./Ms.” is to let people know the charm of the people of Yamashina Ward, Kyoto City, and to make them like Yamashina.
To that end, we held the Yamashina Mr./Ms. Fair, recruited new members, conducted interviews, and created free papers. In the interviews, we emphasized the importance of “connecting,” “interacting,” and “listening to the voices” of local residents, and published articles on the web and in free papers. In order to attract new members, we asked universities in the vicinity of Yamashina Ward to set up flyers.
As we proceeded with the interview activities, the number of people who said that they knew “Yamashina Mr./Ms.” increased, and we began to see the results of our activities.
Introducing the Activity Facebook
In the middle photo, right) A free paper consisting of interview articles “Kyo no Yamashina Mr./Ms.” is distributed.
NPO Kino Environmental ~Creation of Environmental Management Support Program~
We plan to hold events to make people feel closer to environmental issues.We thought of various plans, but we hit barriers such as expenses and transportation, so we had to rethink the plan many times.
In the meantime, I had the opportunity to participate in the “Paper Festival” held at the Kyoto Ecology Center on Sunday, November 2nd, and I was able to plan and exhibit an event using “Shinbunshi”.
On the day of the event, the booth was crowded with children from all Mr./Ms., and I felt that it was rewarding to plan it.
In addition, it was decided to hold another event that did not match the schedule.
I used to think that planning was about coming up with an idea and executing it, but after thinking about it, I realized that it was difficult to realize it.
Photo right) I gave a presentation with the person from Kino Environment, who was indebted to me, and the coordinator.
Nazca Co., Ltd. ~ Nail posting site operation (search engine measures) ~
A project to increase the number of users of the nail posting site “Nail Crew“.
At first, I didn’t get the results I wanted. Therefore, I studied SEO measures during the sluggish period and thought of achieving my goal by devising a guide site.
When I searched, I thought about how impactful the first three lines of the site’s content would be. In addition, the number of updates has been increased from one update per day to 13 times. Although it was summer, the article was conscious of autumn and posted an article ahead of the season. In addition, we took various approaches, such as incorporating seasonal search keywords and using Twitter.
As a result, we were able to significantly update the target for the number of accesses.

~Midsummer Night Light Festival 2014~
We carried out activities to make the summer festival to be held on Sunday, August 31 a success.
The concept of the festival was “the light of Yogo that connects from here” and was planned to be a “sustainable festival”.
Along the way, I lost track of my goals, and it became difficult to relate to my children due to impatience and fatigue.
Taking advantage of our failures, we prepared for the day of the event with ingenuity, such as holding meetings on holidays to reflect on them, and working with the door open so that it would be easy for the children to talk to us.
Last year, we took advantage of the fact that a typhoon came, and we simulated rainy weather, but we were blessed with good weather and were able to hold a festival with beautiful lights outdoors. With the participation of local people from the Mr./Ms. region, it was a practical training that allowed us to connect with each other, which was the theme.
Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education ~Teacher Training Support Seminar~
From August to September, students went to their assigned elementary and junior high schools for practical training, depending on their desired subjects.The trainees who went to the elementary school recreated the teaching method in a play that would make them interested in the changes in teaching methods in the lower and upper grades, as well as map symbols, calculations, and factory processes.
The trainees who went to the junior high school presented their results according to their respective tasks, such as the sports festival, devised teaching methods, how to get people to see the bulletin boards, and reading tendencies.
It was a valuable experience to practice each task at an elementary and junior high school.
Shikoku Island League PLUS~2014 Shikoku Island League Official Game in Princeyama Baseball Stadium (Shiga)~
On Monday 15 September, at the official game “Kagawa OG vs Tokushima IS” of the Shikoku Island League plus, an independent professional baseball league, held at Ojiyama Baseball Stadium, we worked on a project to manage the game jointly with students from the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences of Ritsumeikan University. As a first attempt, it was featured in newspapers.We published the targets and actual figures for the number of customers, the amount of money, the number of responses to Twitter, etc., and the number of sales, and announced our reflections on the goals that could not be achieved. Even if you know that planning, communication skills, cost awareness, and execution skills are important, you can’t do it. I was confronted with that. However, it was also an internship that allowed me to grow, such as learning about the gap between communication skills that can be understood in society and the communication gap that I had drawn.
