〈Lesson plan for ESD〉 コンパクトシティ化による持続可能な都市発展 Compact City Planning in Japan for sustainable development We are glad to attend this workshop today. We made a lesson plan for ESD. The theme of our lesson is “the compact city planning for sustainable development”. Today we will talk about the compact city planning in the case study of Aomori city. As showing this slide, Aomori locates in the north part of Japan and it has often heavy snow. Takuya IWAMURA (Hiroshima Univ.)& Yoshimichi YUI (Hiroshima Univ.) 岩村拓哉, 由井義通
What is basic concept of ESD? The aim of ESD is cultivation of human resources for sustainable society. 【基本的な考え方】 ESDは、持続可能な社会づくりのための担い手づくりです ESDの実施には、特に次の2つの観点が必要です -人格の発達や、自律心、判断力、責任感などの人間性を育むこと -他人との関係性、社会との関係性、自然環境との関係性を認識し、「関わり」、「つながり」を尊重できる個人を育むこと 環境教育、国際理解教育、基礎教育、人権教育等の持続可能な発展に関わる諸問題に対応する個別分野の取組のみではなく、様々な分野を多様な方法を用いてつなげ、総合的に取り組むことが重要です Before introducing case study, we will talk about the basic concept of ESD and the compact city planning. Firstly, what is basic concept of ESD? We think one of the basic concepts of ESD is cultivation of human resources for sustainable development. The aim of ESD is cultivation of human resources for sustainable society. So we think it is important to develop the thinking ability of students and to encourage the change of wasteful life style. 岩村:2ページ目(What is basic concept of ESD?) We consider the aim of ESD to be cultivation of human resources of sustainable society. It is important to address ourselves synthetically and integrate various fields about various problems for sustainable development like environmental education, international understanding education, basic education, human rights education, not to address separately.
Methods and Ability by ESD 【encourage ability】育みたい力 Systematic thinking: multi viewpoints Findings for variety of values Alternative and critical thinking ability Information analysis ability Communication ability 体系的な思考力(問題や現象の背景の理解、多面的・総合的なものの見方) 持続可能な発展に関する価値観(人間の尊重、多様性の尊重、非排他性、機会均等、環境の尊重等)を見出す力 代替案の思考力(批判力) 情報収集・分析能力 コミュニケーション能力 【 learning methods and teaching methods 】 学び方・教え方 Problem solving attitudes and ability Participant approach Encourage for voluntary based activities 「関心の喚起→理解の深化→参加する態度や問題解決能力の育成」を通じて「具体的な行動」を促すという一連の流れの中に位置付けること 単に知識・技能の習得や活用にとどまらず、体験、体感を重視して、探求や実践を重視する参加型アプローチとすること 活動の場で学習者の自発的な行動を上手に引き出すこと
なぜコンパクトシティ構想がESDと関連するのか? Why the compact city planning is related with ESD? Relevance and role of urban sustainability コンパクトシティ構想とESDの目標の共通点 Why the aim of “compact city plan” is the same as sustainable development of city ? コンパクトシティは何を目指すのか? What is purpose of “compact city plan” ? Why the compact city planning is related with ESD ? What is urban sustainability ? Nobody think modern urbanization continue for a long time. Urbanization destroy the forest and fields in their surrounding areas. And each suburbanites needs to use car. Therefore modern suburbanization waste a lot of natural resources. Why the aim of “compact city plan” is the same as sustainable development of city ? What is purpose of “compact city plan” ? Normal city planning is control the urban growth or redevelop the built-up areas. “The compact city planning” is considered as the change of urbanization and the change of life style of urban residents.
都市の持続可能な発展とは? What is sustainable development for city 都市の持続可能な発展とは? What is sustainable development for city ? Perceptional change! Sustainable development means harmonious coexistence and symbiotic system between nature and human. (都市の成長をコントロールし,環境との共生を図る) It is important to control urban growth for sustainable development. In order for the success of sustainable development, we must change our lifestyle, for example the establishment a public transportation system. However the establishment of public transportation is not purpose but one of methods for sustainable development. The essence of compact city plan is the change of our traditional idea which urban success is the growth of population and urban area. Therefore we must change our mind that suburbanization is not the way of urban success. (ライフスタイルを変える(例えば、自動車依存から公共交通+徒歩を中心にする等)といった場面が中心になってくるのであって、そのために、都市部に公共施設や住宅が整備されることは非常に効果的なことであると思われますが、それは目的像ではなく、単なる手法の-つです。人口や面積が拡大していくことが、都市の成功であるという考え方を全く違う方向に転換させること、それこそがコンパクトシティ論の本質)

Activity1 Think about the impact of suburbanization to people’s life! 郊外化は人々にどのような影響を与えるか考えてみよう。 How dose people change their life style in suburb? 郊外化によって人々のライフスタイルはどのように変化するのか? Compare people’s lifestyle between suburb and core area! 郊外の生活と都心での生活を比較してみよう! We think it is important to develop the lesson materials for ESD which are useful for middle school class in both Japan and Germany. And we think it is necessary to develop the lesson activities and the estimation method for ESD. Because one of key points for the success of ESD is the encouragement of each students attitudes and activities. So, we make some lesson activities for ESD. First activity is follows; Think about the impact of suburbanization to people’s life! This activity aims to understand the basic concept of compact city for students. Next activity is; How dose people change their life style in suburb? 郊外化によって人々のライフスタイルはどのように変化するのか? Compare people’s lifestyle between suburb and core area! We try to rethink students’ lifestyle themselves by learning these activities 岩村:18ページ目(Activity 1) This is one of the lesson materials for ESD, so we should develop activities and make students understand about sustainable society.
Activity 2 What is improve by compact city planning? コンパクトシティのプランは何を改善するためのものだろうか。考えてみよう。 What is necessary to succeed in compact city planning? コンパクトシティのプランが成功するには何が必要だろうか? Discuss about the possibility of compact city planning in your city. 身近な地域でコンパクトシティのプランが可能かどうか討論してみよう? Next activities are aimed for further and deeply thinking. What is improve by compact city planning? コンパクトシティのプランは何を改善するためのものだろうか。考えてみよう。 What is necessary to succeed in compact city planning? コンパクトシティのプランが成功するには何が必要だろうか? Discuss about the possibility of compact city planning in your city. The aim of this lesson plan is encouragement of student thinking ability and participant attitude. We think systematic lesson activities enable to encourage citizenship. We heard some Japanese city adapt compact city planning for their sustainable development in Japan. And we also hear Nurnberg city adapts the compact city planning in Germany. I hope that many people think their wasteful life style and choose the compact city planning in the world.
