This course aims to introduce the fundamental theories of administration for local governance. It also follows the latest local government studies not only in Japan but also around the world. The instructor will discuss the contemporary issues of local governance with students, including the role of administration, the differences between public organizations and private firms, decentralization, local government performance, the role of citizens, and digital-era governance.

What would society be like in the future? This class sets off by imagining that society of the future will be a “Creative Society” where each and every person makes full use of their own creativity that they originally hold within themselves. In a creative society, it will become a commonplace for everyone to “create” in many different fields and domains. More than anything else, “creating” will come to symbolize the richness and happiness of life and living.
In the past, “Information Society,” which began with the advent of the Internet, changed our lives, organizations, and society. In the same way, the arrival of Creative Society will bring enormous change in the way we live, organize and live in society. Imagining what those changes are and what they will bring is an important in preparation for the future.
To prepare for such a future, this class welcomes guests engaged in creative practice and research to hold dialogue and deepen our vision of the future of a “creative society.” The final goal of this class is for each student to be able to bring together the ideas and approaches learned in each dialogue in the form of pattern language and link them to their own future practice.
We will invite guests who are involved in creative activities related to the Creative Society for lectures and discussions. In this year’s class, we will invite fascinating researchers from abroad as guest speakers for lectures and dialogue (The order of the guest speakers in the following lesson plan is currently tentative and will be announced in the first class).
In this class, students are not expected to simply listen passively, but to participate with an attitude of fully exercising your imagination, envisioning the future, and grasping important ideas and practical tips on their own. In this class, there will also be time for students to discuss with each other in the Zoom breakout rooms, so please actively participate in them as well.

Message from Professor Takashi Iba to the students:
“The future will come as time goes by. But it may not be the future that we all hope for. Or rather, if we don’t take action, the future we hope for will never come. That is why we must continue to create ideals, visions, and things to realize them for the future. This class is designed to let everyone know and feel that there are adults out there who are doing all that they can (especially in creative and exciting ways) for a better future. Welcome to the way of Creating our future ourselves! I hope you will be inspired and use it as energy to light up your future.”

Unlike "building" as an existence and "construction" as an activity, "architecture" is an idea and a concept. If the consciousness of artificial work on the environment is the origin of architecture, it is rather natural that it is the most primitive intellectual creation act of mankind, and that it is a comprehensive and boundary existence that has corresponds with all areas. Currently, the research subjects and activity areas that architecture should deal with are dynamically expanding and merging due to various factors such as social changes, progress of computerization, and needs for coexistence with the natural environment. Today, the ability to cooperate with other fields in various aspects, from aspects such as urban development planning to devising construction technology, is necessary for a practical experience in the field of architecture, . In SFC, "architecture" is not fixed or dogmatic, but exists as a common item of creative and comprehensive intellectual activities across faculty members with various areas of interest. On top of that, in order to acquire the ability to carry out this on a realistic social system, the students will get review on their project of "architecture" that is being tackled from a different approach depending on each research theme. The purpose is to acquire the ability to expand the architectural domain and realize the fusion with new fields by exchanging it in and comprehensively verifying it from the viewpoint related to the practice of architecture.

This course aims to introduce the basic concepts of research methodology for social sciences. In particular, it is designed to gain practical skills for using the five types of research method: (i) qualitative interview, (ii) survey, (iii) experiment, (iv) case study, and (v) mixed methods.

This seminar aims to pursue the cutting edge of public administration research. Reading the English literature, students will first learn what cutting edge public administration research is. Given the literature review, students are asked to select a vital issue with public administration and then develop a research approach toward the issue under the supervision of the instructor.
Another activity of this seminar is Fujisawa City Promotion Project in which the instructor serves as a committee member. Without cooperation with Fujisawa City, SFC cannot be further developed. The instructor and students will seek effective collaboration between SFC and Fujisawa City and engage in the promotion activities.

Following the cutting edge of local governance studies, this seminar addresses the contemporary issues of local governance not only in Japan but also around the world. It focuses on three approaches toward the issues: (i) Evidence-based public management, (ii) Citizen participation & coproduction, and (iii) Digital-era co-governance. In this spring semester, the instructor and students learn and discuss citizen participation & coproduction and digital-era governance.

This lecture explains knowledge and methodologies of computer incident response and digital forensic. The information system in enterprise environment is an important factor of business continuity. Due to the current trend of business diversification and supply-chain manufacturing structure, the information system results in being complicated. Meanwhile cyber attacks against the information system in enterprise environment continues to get sophisticated. This lecture aims for development of cyber security experts who can practically handle such information security issues in the enterprise environment.
This lecture systematically discusses the issues of ordinary (in peacetime) security operations and emergency responses to computer security incidents from the technical and institutional view points. The emergency responses include matters of digital forensic technology.
