In this course, the student will learn a method for building several environmental information systems. This course focuses on a new area that combines the environmental field and the information technology field, which have been evolving independently. By acquiring large-scale environmental data from the “real environmental space” and by measuring the cause and effect of changes in the “environmental information space” with regard to people flow data, large-scale image data, and natural environment data, students will learn a method for designing and building an environmental information system. This system will equip them with (1) the ability to respond to medium- and long-term environmental changes by detecting changes that are taking place gradually during normal times, and (2) the capability to respond quickly to changes that occur due to sudden disruptions of the environment in an emergency. In recent years, with the development of sensors and faster storage devices with larger capacities, resized environmental data are being handled much more frequently than before. As a result, large-scale data processing technology has become essential for the understanding and scientific analysis of environmental data. In this course, the student will learn the construction of an environmental measurement, analysis, and information delivery system using ICT technology. Then, having acquired the capability to analyze actual environmental data, students will develop a scientific perspective that will enable them to consider both environmental data and constructive approaches to solutions. In particular, using hardware technologies that target the monitoring and control of the real environmental space, students will learn about environmental database systems, ubiquitous environment systems, and environmental video data processing. This study will include the technology for the control of sensors in the real environment, and an ICT technique to measure the cause and effect of environmental changes that occur in the environmental information space. The students will also learn about environmental modeling based on the results obtained from the information space. They will study the solving to ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations, which are fundamental to modeling, and will perform modeling exercises using GPGPU and multi-core parallel computing.

Today's society is undergoing rapid globalization, diversification of values, and other changes at a remarkable pace. In such an environment, it is important to respond quickly to change, and to do so, it is necessary for each individual who catches information to make his or her own judgment and take independent action, rather than waiting for instructions from the top. Coaching is an effective method of developing such abilities, and is being introduced in many universities and business schools in the United States and elsewhere. In this course, students who will be the leaders of the next generation will learn and master coaching techniques through their own experiences in order to develop the abilities of the people around them and create a strong organization.

Students will share essential themes involving the mind, obtained through the theory and practice of clinical psychology, and deepen their understanding of the “movement of the heart” that occur when a person interacts with other people. Interactions that students actually experience inside the classroom are expected to bring about further awareness of their inner self.

SFC provides a wide variety of health and well-being related subjects from different perspectives. This is an introductory course for students who want to conduct health researches with SFC professors and students who want to get Health Science certificate. The course provides basic skills, methods and knowledge to start health research. The course will be delivered by 5 leading professors.

The next generation of developed countries, including Japan, will focus on the field of health. In the future, health will become a key word in various policies, industries, and national development. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the minimum necessary knowledge of the basics of biology, such as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, in a way that is easy to understand, even if they have not taken any biology courses before. Specifically, the course covers the metabolism of sugars, lipids, and amino acids in the acquisition of biological energy. Genetics is the study of genes, which are the basis of our biology. This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the molecular basis of life science. In this course, students will learn the basics of molecular biology, which is the basis for all of the above, during a half-year period.

This course is intended to convey investigative analysis methods about environmental technoscience and environmental policy. Environmental issues are vast and span the natural and social sciences fields. In this course, students gain the ability to approach interdisciplinary subjects while dealing with practical environmental issues. The key significance of this study lies not in acquiring individual techniques or methods as much as in reaching the final objective―gaining a comprehensive ability to resolve environmental problems by gaining a comprehensive understanding of an issue, knowing how to create a framework while under time and resource constraints, and understanding which issues must be dealt with first. A specialist can't tackle a complex environmental problem on his or her own. It is necessary to meet challenges through collaboration with a variety of specialists and stakeholders. This course aims to nurture environmental leaders, who must understand the core and scope of the problems and understand the output provided by specialists. They must manage their teams comprehensively to execute practical measures to resolve problems. Students understand the relevant methods in this course and develop comprehensive abilities by taking on projects as a form of practical training.

This course gives an overview of the present status and future perspectives of global environment, resources, and energy problems. To obtain simultaneous solution for both environment and energy problems, we will consider and propose what is the optimum energy mix in the future.
The overall aspects, i.e., technical consistency/feasibility and social acceptability/policy making will be discussed by all of the participants in this course. To study technical aspects intensively, we will conduct 6
weeks exercise under close contact with advisory members of this course.

This course aims to provide students with foundational knowledge and techniques to engage in the formulation and implementation of international environmental policy.
This class will enable students to acquire literacy in international environmental policy, which is indispensable for future work in international institutions and organizations in the environmental field. With a view to solving environmental problems that are emerging in various parts of the world, the class will cultivate students’ knowledge using typical and representative examples related to basic points such as “why must we resort to international systems?” and “through what means and methods can the international society support the resolution of specific problems?” At the same time,the class will provide students with basic environmental management tools for handling the environment on a macroscale that they can understand as international environmental policy professionals.
Finally, simulations of international environmental policy negotiations will be conducted so that students can understand the basics, grasp the mechanics of multilateral environmental negotiations, and cultivate practical communication and negotiation skills. Furthermore, an experiential practicum with environmental measurement technology will also be conducted to help students develop a fundamental technological skill set that can be used to formulate and implement data-driven environmental policies.

We study ways of natural and creative living and how to shift our society to be more natural and creative.

You consist of a multitude of interests big and small, major and minor. Yet you most likely have learned that to achieve your highest potential, you should focus on improving just your best interest, and your other interests are less important. When you graduate through Iba Lab, you will become a change maker, someone to make new waves with Pattern Languages in various domains---such as learning, presentation, collaboration, project design, education, welfare, cooking, parenting, open dialogue… You will hone your skills with Pattern Languages --a set of words that illuminate and advise people to take on proactive attitudes towards achieving their desired qualities. You will connect with other practitioners of Pattern Languages through the international conferences you attend when you present your work. Pattern Languages, produced here in Iba Lab, redefine our notions of potential, pointing the lens at the sum of all our “creative” potential. These languages open the possibility of realizing even your tiny interests, without sacrificing your important interests. We create Pattern Languages to help others create a “creative” society.

Pattern Language is a language that can raise the quality of life by describing practical knowledge in ways that can be shared and used by others. It is created through specific processes, such as pattern mining, pattern clustering, pattern writing and pattern illustrating. We also apply pattern language in dialogue workshops to communicate and describe solutions to problems under certain condition in particular contexts.

This Kenkyukai is conducting research activities with the goal of building data-driven smart cities and regions. Data Driven means to make decisions and take actions based on data. In today's data-driven society, more quantitative and rational ways of thinking are required instead of the conventional qualitative decision-making. In light of this social trend, we are researching how to discover, solve, and implement problems using analytical methods that utilize data.
Concretely speaking, we use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze and map geographic data to discover problems in cities and regions, such as the environment, disaster prevention, transportation, tourism, welfare, and agriculture, to understand the causes of problems and their relationship to the people living there, to propose solutions for an ultra-smart society, and to provide policy support. We also propose solutions for an ultra-smart society and provide policy support. We are a research group that can discover problems, devise solutions, and implement them, which is a characteristic of SFC.

We will reflect on multiple definitions in the field of literature, fine arts and linguistics

生物多様性とは、地球上に存在する生命の多様性を示す概念である。人間活動による影響は生態系の劣化に止まらず、種の絶滅や種内の遺伝的多様性の損失など様々なレベルに及び、世界の生物多様性はこれまでにないスピードで失われつつある。しかし、生物多様性の損失は私たちにとってどのような意味があるのだろうか？本授業では、植物や動物などの生物相に関する研究への理解を深め、土地管理が生物多様性に与える影響、生物多様性と生態系サービスとの関係など、事例研究を幅広く取り上げる。さらに、こうした研究成果が実社会の政策立案にどのように反映されているのかを議論していく。
