Results of the Northern Kyoto Prefecture Career Education Project “Maruttoku in Kumihama”

gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Kumihama” by high school students, university students, and local residents in Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community.

Outline of Implementation

schedule Saturday, September 20, 2014 11:00~16:00
place Gosho Inaba Honke, Nyoiji Temple (Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City)
sponsorship Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council (Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Kyoto City Board of Education, Kyoto Prefectural Federation of Private Junior and Senior High Schools, Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry, University Consortium Kyoto)
cooperation Kyoto Prefecture Northern Regional and University Cooperation Organization
participant High School Students 25 (1st and 2nd year students at Kyoto Prefectural Kumihama High School)
university student 19 (Kyoto Seika University, Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto Bunkyo University, Ryukoku University, Kobe University, Waseda Graduate School, etc.)
working adult 8 people (NPO Exciting Kumihama Creation Association, Kyotango City Kumihama Citizen’s Bureau)

Implementation Report

The university students entered Kumihama the day before to inspect the site and rehearsed carefully until late at night, and on the day of the event, the rain from the previous day had stopped and the weather was clear, and we were able to welcome the performance in a refreshing and sunny atmosphere.
The high school students gradually became more relaxed and relaxed as they walked around the city and did group work with university students and local residents. At first, some of the students were too shy to speak well, but at the end, they were willing to speak up about their dreams and career paths. During the dialogue time, I was very impressed by the friendly advice between university students and local people about the concerns of high school students.

　IMG_5717 　　　IMG_5555

Through this workshop, the high school students had the opportunity to reflect on themselves and think deeply about their own way of life, as well as to reaffirm the good points of Kumihama, and the university students were able to gain new insights about themselves by reflecting on their careers and communicating them with others. We also received comments from local residents, such as, “Conveying the charm of the region to young people, listening to their thoughts on the region and their thoughts on the future, and gaining new awareness and discoveries about the local area,” making it a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

In addition, this project was blessed with a good location, not to mention the wealthy merchant Inaba Honke, the building and garden were wonderful, and the view of the sea from Nyoiji Temple near Kumihama Bay was the best. I believe that one of the factors for our success was that we were able to work in a calm space such as a Japanese-style room, and that we were able to interact in nature, such as the blue sea, the wide sky, and the lush garden.

While referring to the results of this survey, we would like to implement such projects in other regions as well.

Designated Assignment
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.

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.)

Measure the height and depth of the planting.

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.

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.

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.
