Development of Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction Evaluation Methods based on the Processes of Habitat Loss and Comprehensive Cost-benefit Evaluation Methods
Person in Charge of the Project：Tomohiro Ichinose
We focus on ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction based on the analysis of disaster history. The human activities cause habitat fragmentation and isolation by land use changes. Vulnerability to natural disaster should be higher in a strongly changed landscape. The habitat loss is a key of damage by natural disaster. We develop evaluation methods of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction based on process of habitat loss and comprehensive cost-benefit evaluation methods.
Study of cause to littering garbage occurs and considering a method of disposing of littering garbage.
Person in Charge of the Project：Kazushi Ota
Littering garbage is one of several causes deteriorating a cityscape and pollution of the water in revers and soil. This study is made an investigation into littered place, how to littering and the number of littering garbage. I am going to give light on the place, the contour of road, bank and planting being easily littered and reasons for many littering garbage to occur. After giving light on that reasons, I consider a method of disposing of the reasons being easily littered and designing the shape of road, bank and planting to prevent from littering garbage. I am going to display my study focus on reasons that many littering garbage to occur in ORF.
Comparison of breeding season diet and nesting habitat of Northern Goshawk in urban and SATOYAMA landscape
Person in Charge of the Project：Haruki Natsukawa
Northern Goshawk is designated as National Endangered Species in Japan. Their main habitat consists of farmlands, forests and grasslands like SATOYAMA landscape. Recently, they expanded their habitat to small urban forests surrounded by high urbanized areas. Revealing urban ecology of Goshawk is important from the viewpoint of their conservation, however, it is not studied in Japan. Therefore we investigated their diet during breeding season and nesting habitat in urban and SATOYAMA landscape. We will consider the difference of breeding season diet and nesting habitat in urban and SATOYAMA landscape.
Practicing environmental education in an elementary school.
Person in Charge of the Project：Daiki Yasue
This study aimed to create the program of environmental education which enables children to recognize and to be interested in environment in their city. We practice the program at a biotope in an elementary school for about 6 months with 108 children of 5th grades.
Kesennuma Reconstruction Project - Moune Nature Restoration Project - The terrestrial and freshwater fauna in tsunami inundated area, a case study in Moune, Kesennuma, Miyagi.
Person in Charge of the Project：Tomohiro Ichinose
Surveys to monitor the distribution of terrestrial fauna and its movement, for understanding the impact of Tsunami and the resilience of ecosystem, are conducted in Moune district, Kesennnuma City from 2012. It focuses on several terrestrial and freshwater aquatic groups (amphibian, dragonfly, butterfly and aquatic insect) in tsunami inundated lowland area. Reconstruction works destroyed some habitats, however diversity of each group is increasing year by year. And more conservation and restoration of wetland to increase biodiversity on the basis of inhabitation information is carrying out in the field in corroboration with inhabitants.
Kesennuma Reconstruction Project, Moune Oral History Project Oral History for Reconstruction - Re-compiling local information and emergence of town recovery planning -
Person in Charge of the Project：Tomohiro Ichinose
It is important to accumulate, marshal, share and inherit local information for the town reconstruction. We derive information as local resource, issue, citizen's intention and so on, which was lost by disaster and is hoarded in the process of reconstruction, by means of Oral History. This project is conducted in Moune district, Kesennnuma City, which is one of an afflicted area of the Great East Japan Earthquake. We edit and feedback these information for to carry those into future ages and to support the citizen's self-active creating and achieving the vision of reconstruction.
The Nursing and Medical Care Campus Biotope Project
Person in Charge of the Project：Katsuki Kyomoto
Our project focuses on research about birds, insects, water creatures, and plants near the Keio Nursing and Medical Care Campus. Our goal is to suggest an improvement plan to the biotope there and to make it into action. Some members of this project are beginners in getting involved in fieldworks, but we all tried to get to know how nature surrounds us and how we can make it better.
