生活環境学科まちづくりコース2年生・3年生の学生が「フィールドデザイン特別演習」（担当教員：水野優子准教授・鎌田誠史准教授・伊丹康二准教授・北原摩留准教授）の授業で、地域の課題や魅力を調査・分析し、課題解決や豊かな暮らしにつながる企画・提案を行いました。

 

本演習は、大学と包括連携協定を締結する香川県の小豆島にある土庄町の協力のもと、実施している集中講義で、今年で３年目の開講となります。昨年、一昨年は新型コロナ感染拡大の状況を受けオンラインのみで行いましたが、今年度は現地での宿泊を伴うフィールドワークも含めて実施することができました。

 

フィールドワークでは、地域の課題や魅力を把握するために、農業や生産業、観光業に携わる方々や、集落の拠点づくりや伝統文化の継承に取り組む住民を対象としてヒアリング調査を3日間かけて実施しました。学生は調査結果をもとに、交通問題の解決や仕事の創出、島内外の交流の促進などのまちづくり提案を行いました。

 

２月２２日の授業最終回の講評会では、オンラインで土庄町役場の職員や役場をサポートするNPO法人トティエの方々、ヒアリングに協力いただいた方に向けて、各自のまちづくり提案をプレゼンテーションしました。学生の提案を聴いた参加者の間では、活発な意見交換が取り交わされました。

 

Students of the Community Development Course of the Department of Human Environmental Sciences made a proposal for community development in the town of Tonosho, Kagawa Prefecture.

 

Students in the second and third year of the Community Development Course conducted a survey and analysis of local issues and attractions, and made plans and proposals to solve problems and enrich people's lives in the "Field Design Special Seminar" class (teachers: Associate Professor Yuko Mizuno, Associate Professor Seiji Kamata, Associate Professor Koji Itami, Associate Professor Maru Kitahara).

 

This is the third year that this intensive course has been offered in cooperation with the town of Tonosho on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture, with which the university has concluded a comprehensive cooperation agreement. Last year and the year before, the course was conducted online only due to the situation of the spread of the new corona virus, but this year we were able to conduct the course including research with overnight stays at the site.

 

During the on-site visit, students conducted a three-day interview of people involved in agriculture, production, and tourism, as well as residents who are working to build village bases and pass on traditional culture, in order to understand the issues and attractions of the region. Based on the results, students made proposals for community development, such as solving traffic problems, generating work opportunities, and promoting exchanges between the island and the surrounding area.

 

In the final critique session of the class on February 22, students presented their community development proposals online to the staff of the town office of Tonosho, people from the NPO Totie, which supports the town office, and people who cooperated in the hearings. Participants listened to the students' proposals and engaged in a lively exchange of opinions.
