Overview of the business
By utilizing the creative and academic research results of university researchers in the policies and projects of Kyoto City, we aim to return the knowledge of university research to the local community and society. Researchers and the departments in charge of Kyoto City have been collaborating on research since the planning stage, and we aim to form a network based on the surveys and research of this project by holding report meetings on the results of this research and holding exchange meetings between researchers and citizens, city officials, students, etc.

| Research Theme | Knowledge of coexistence with the natural environment in citizens' lives and evaluation of the actual situation of familiar biota |
| Principal Investigator | Professor, Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University Shozo Shibata |
| Research Outline | Presenting knowledge of coexistence with the natural environment and the actual situation of familiar biota nurtured in citizens' lives through household questionnaires in the Shirakawa River system, field surveys at the Shirakawa Children's Festival, questionnaires to temples and shrines on wildlife trends, field surveys of damage to forest vegetation (mainly by deer), and surveys of townhouse gardens. Based on this, we proposed the creation of a support framework between the departments in charge of the government and in collaboration with citizens, so that efforts to coexist with the natural environment that take root in citizens' lives will lead to the creation of charm of Kyoto-like towns. |

Designated TasksConditions
for Successful Social Business and Necessary Measures ~From the Perspective of SME Support~
| Research Theme | Empirical Research on the Development and Dissemination of Social Business Using Student Participation Business Competitions |
| Principal Investigator | Kyoto Sangyo University, Faculty of Business Administration Associate Professor Etsuga Omuro |
| Research Outline | In cooperation with companies that manufacture and sell social products, a competition was held for about 100 days in which students made proposals for their development and dissemination, and surveyed changes in students' own perceptions and behavior before and after participation. From the results, we showed that being involved in social business can 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 Theme | Urban Planning Issues for Small Streets Adjacent to Main Roads ~Toward Maintenance and Conservation of "Historic Narrow Streets"~ |
| Principal Investigator | Kyoto University Graduate School of Engineering Researcher Sachiko Morishige |
| Research Outline | Through surveys of the conditions of narrow streets in the so-called "rice field district," we grasped their characteristics and issues. Measures such as city planning regulations for high-rise buildings facing narrow streets, clarification of the handling of cul-end roads that are "non-road" under the Building Standards Law, guidance to the installation of emergency evacuation exits, and the creation of rules to adjust the relationship between narrow streets and high-rise buildings were proposed. |
