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.

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.

~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.

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!

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.)

On the left is Mr./Ms. Masaki, the principal investigator, and on the right is Mr./Ms. Inagaki, a collaborator.













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 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum will be held on Friday, December 5th!

The Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council is holding a forum for the purpose of “sharing information on domestic trends and disseminating information on initiatives in Kyoto” on the issue of collaboration and connected education between high schools and universities.

This year’s 12th Collaborative High School and University Education Forum will be held under the theme of “Connecting High School and University and Forming Academic Ability: Thinking about the Achievement Test (tentative name).” We look forward to your participation.

Outline of the event

The 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum

banner3University entrance examinations are deeply linked to the school system and social structure of the country. In Japan, the premise of the academic achievement test is that a nationwide common educational curriculum has been established, and it is obligatory that the exam questions be first published and that they be published after the fact. However, these are also things that are unique to Japan from a global perspective. In the current reform of entrance examinations, the implementation of multiple common examinations, graded evaluations, the introduction of IRT (Item Response Theory), and the use of computers are also on the table for discussion. I would like to consider the realistic possibility of a “achievement test (tentative name)” including such issues.

What you can do at a debate seminar

・ You can learn the ropes of parliamentary debate.
・You can watch the real British top-level debate.
・Students will be able to learn about the multifaceted perspectives, logical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and communication skills required of global human resources.
・Through workshops, you can learn how to speak out and prepare for speeches.
・Interaction with top British debaters, etc.


* Parliamentary Debate is a debate that, as the name suggests, is a debate that imitates the British parliamentary format, and is widely recognized in the United Kingdom and other countries around the world as a kind of public communication. In addition, since it is a question of how to attract an audience and convince them of their own position, it is attracting attention as a highly effective educational method for fostering the comprehensive skills (logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, presentation skills, etc.) necessary for global human resources, which are in demand right now.

2014 Kyoto Studies Course “The Joy of Travel: Entertainment in Kyoto in the Edo Period” will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2014!

(6th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”

Pleasure of the tripIt is often said that Kyoto became a tourist city after the middle of the Edo period. According to travel records, it seems that sightseeing in Kyoto at that time was centered on visiting shrines, temples, and famous sites, just as it is now. At the same time, Kyoto at that time saw a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment performances. The existence of these facilities and entertainment is thought to have been one of the pleasures of traveling for those who visited Kyoto. In this lecture, I would like to introduce these situations while showing specific materials.

Date Saturday, October 4, 2014 10:30~12:00
Venue Campus Plaza Kyoto 5th Floor, Lecture Room 1
Lecturer Hiroyoshi Yamachika (Professor, Osaka Kyoiku University)
Born in 1960. Born in Hyogo Prefecture. Studied at the Faculty of Letters, Kyoto University. After working as an assistant at the Faculty of Letters, Nara Women’s University, and as a lecturer and associate professor at Osaka Kyoiku University, she assumed her current position in 2005.
