There are local winds in many places in Japan, which is produced mainly by steep topography. Local people recognize that the local winds play an important role in determining daily weather. In particular, local winds sometimes cause precipitation. While the major cause of local winds is topography, it is also recognized that topography of island affects wind speed and direction. But it is not fully clear how the local topography of island affects local winds. Hence, in this project, we will explore local winds at Yakushima where the annual precipitation is maximum in Japan by measuring meteorological quantities such as wind and temperature at multiple locations. Particularly, we will examine spatial relationship of wind and discuss causal relationship of precipitation in association with winds by analyzing observed data.

The Internet has become an indispensable part of social and economic activities. With the spread of smartphones and social networking services that utilize the Internet, individuals and organizations can now transmit and view data to the world anytime and anywhere. Some of this data may be false information, and this has actually caused social problems. Even if there is such a suspicion about data on the Internet, it is often impossible to confirm the certainty (degree of correctness) of the data. In such a situation, the viewer is forced to make his or her own judgment of the certainty of the data, and the decision-making based on these data may not be accurate.

This special research project is an introductory subject to Korean Studies. Needless to say, it is essential to understand Korean from the perspective of regional research to study South Korea and its extended areas. On the other hand, learning Korean may further develop into the study of the language itself, that is, the study of Korean. In this project, for those who have taken Korean language, we will specifically learn the pattern of developing Korean language into (1) area studies and (2) the pattern of developing it as research on the language itself.
Although the full-time faculty members of the Korean language laboratory have different research fields, we will explain how they face Korean and conduct daily research as a research tool and as a research target, with episodes. A mini-lecture by graduate students (master's and doctoral) is also planned.
Lectures by guests invited from outside include (1) graduates who learned Korean at SFC as beginners and are still active in society using Korean, and (2) former full-time teachers who were in charge of Korean language education at SFC. (3) Researchers who practice language and regional studies have been on the stage so far. In this project, we will watch some interesting Korean movies and deepen our understanding of Korea in recent years through movies.
Students will carry out group work when their intellectual curiosity about Korean society has increased. Students who have similar interests will form a group, conduct research activities, and then give a group presentation. After having a discussion with all participants, prepare and submit a personal research report.
Through a series of work, it is our hope that students will be able to rediscover the significance and goals of learning Korean and discover each "way" that will lead to further research activities.

In August 2019, in conjunction with the establishment of the Laboratory for Learning and Education in the Age of Society 5.0 (President: Hiroshi Suzuki) at the SFC Research Institute, we will be focusing on "co-education to nurture people who create a new world" in addition to the traditional theme of "fostering social producers who graduate from the modern age to create a new world. In August 2019, in conjunction with the establishment of the Social 5.0 Era Learning and Education Laboratory (President: Hiroshi Suzuki) at the SFC Research Institute, we have added to the objectives of the research group the study of "co-education to nurture people who will create a new world" in addition to the conventional "nurturing of social producers who will graduate from modernity and create a new world," and the actual conception, planning, and realization of co-education projects.

Then, in the spring of 2020, as part of a project to make Hagi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture more attractive to the local community, we began to support high school students in their exploratory studies. Specifically, in cooperation with the city's Board of Education and school teachers, we are running an inquiry course for high school students in Hagi City. Through these activities, we are in the process of creating a model case of creating new learning together with the local community and schools in order to nurture the "creative power" of students, who are the leaders of the future. The program has also been expanded to include Mitoyo City in Kagawa Prefecture. In addition, there are plans to collaborate with Niseko City, Hidaka Town, and Anpei Town in Hokkaido.

As we move forward in the midst of such a period of change, we will use Hokkaido as the field for this special research project, with the aim of pursuing, practicing, and collaborating on further possibilities for inquiry-based learning with the local community.
