How to Revitalize An Abolished Primary School Buildings to Produe A New Value For the Promotion of The Hachinohe Local Area-
A Case Study How to Bring the New Wave of Educational Trend Based on The Uniquness of the Area.

This is a project working in the field in Kiso Town, Nagano Prefecture. Kiso Town consists of three main areas: Kiso, Hiyoshi, and Kaida. Children living in this area spend most of their time with a group of 10 or so classmates from preschool to junior high school, which limits their opportunities to experience diversity, and many of them have difficulty adjusting to their new environment and often experience hardship when they enter higher education or find employment. Therefore, this project, as part of the Shinshu Community School, is designed to revitalize the local community through "education," and to promote students' understanding of the community in which they live and of themselves, and to provide them with opportunities to become familiar with the diversity of the world and other cultures, while being part of their diverse learning experience. The project is operated with the aim of both promoting understanding of the community in which they live and themselves, and creating opportunities for students to become familiar with diversity and different cultures around the world. In addition, Kiso Town is planning to integrate the currently existing Kiso-cho Junior High School, Hiyoshi Junior High School, and Kaida Junior High School in three years' time, and we expect that this will provide an opportunity for junior high school students to interact with each other. In doing so, they also look to deepen their understanding of the regions in which they live. In order to achieve these goals, the workshop plans to conduct interviews with adults who are working to revitalize the town and make the area more attractive, and to create a "Kiso Town Attractive Person Card" to rediscover the charms of the area.

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.

The Trusted Internet Architecture Lab at the SFC Research Institute, in collaboration with Fujitsu Limited, is discussing ways to realize a "Trustable Internet" that can address the above issues. In this special research project, we will review the technologies for building trust in the Internet, and conduct a hands-on session with prototypes implemented in the lab, as well as a hackathon to study use cases and develop prototypes.

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.

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.
