Environmental Field Experience

In order to achieve the SDGs, it is important to accurately grasp the current situation and issues of the region and the international community, and to take actions to resolve them. In particular, environmental problems and urban problems are characterized by drastic changes due to social conditions and technological innovation. In order to solve the problems, it is effective to go to the site and check the current situation with your own eyes, or actually plan and put into practice activities that contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. The achievements of these activities will also be a weapon in job hunting.
Therefore, in this training, you will go out of the university and learn practically about the actual situation of the "field" of community development and environmental activities through actual measurement of architecture, city, environment and planning and management of local activities. At the same time, we will provide an opportunity to think about environmental regeneration and regional regeneration toward the achievement of the SDGs.
Classes consist of planning / practical activities and presentations. These are carried out approximately once a month, each time over a day. On-site training will be conducted on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays and during the summer vacation, and pre-study will be conducted on Wednesdays during the 5th period. After completing each exercise, prepare a report in the prescribed format. Presentations are mandatory, and participants will be selected to participate more than the specified number of times (compulsory number of frames) during the training.

Go out of the university and learn practically about the actual situation of the "field" of community development and environmental activities through actual measurement of the environment and planning and management of community activities. At the same time, it will provide an opportunity to think about regional issues related to the 17 goals of the SDGs. In other words, the purpose of this class is to practically learn about the current situation and issues of the "field" of community development and environmental activities, and to plan and practice activities related to the SDGs. In addition, among the unique SDGs listed by the department, the main purpose is to realize S: service learning = social contribution.

1. Students can deepen your understanding of the environment and community development, how planning and practical activities are linked to the achievement of the 17 goals of the SDGs.
2. Students can accurately carry out on-site interviews and liaison and coordination with cooperators.
3. Students can create articles, videos, games, etc. to convey in an easy-to-understand manner about local activities and SDGs efforts of interview cooperators.
4. Presentation ability can be improved by organizing and presenting the learning results.

Each time, the evaluation is made on a scale of 100 points, the total score is calculated by "the top two points of the program that participated + the score of the presentation", and the total score is divided by the number of required participation frames 3 to be the evaluation point. Therefore, in order to take credits (60 points), a total of 60 points x 3 = 180 points is required.
In addition, there are restrictions on taking each course, and you cannot participate in all the courses.
