CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH MUNICIPAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING IN MATSUDO CITY, CHIBA, JAPAN by Jasmine Frazier AN UNDERGRADUATE THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Environmental Studies Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Bachelor of Art Major: Environmental Studies and Anthropology With the Emphasis of: Anthropology Under the Supervision of Dr. Raymond Hames Lincoln, Nebraska May, 2015 Frazier 2 CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH MUNICIPAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING IN MATSUDO CITY, CHIBA, JAPAN Jasmine Frazier, B.A. University of Nebraska, 2015 Advisor: Dr. Raymond Hames Abstract Improper waste disposal and management globally is linked to a variety of problems with the environment and health. This problem can be addressed by following the 3 R’s; reduce, reuse, and recycle. Japan is continually aiming towards becoming a sustainable, recycling oriented society with the implementation of the 3 R’s, reducing GHG emissions, and innovating new technologies for recycling and waste management. This research aims to expand the knowledge on the challenges and ways to improve curbside recycling systems and to be able to provide suggestions for improvements to the system with input from Japanese middle school students from a survey, observational information from an area survey, and a one month observation of curbside recycling sites done in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The main research question is to identify the challenges associated with municipal curbside recycling in Frazier 3 Matsudo City, 15 years after the full implementation of the Containers and Packaging Recycling Law in 2000. This could be significant to other rapidly developing countries, especially in Asia, as Japan’s history could provide useful information and insight for sound waste management and more opportunities for Japan to display waste management techniques and recycling innovations will come with the nearing 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The main challenges found which were concerned with attracting animals like crows and cats to curbside recycling sites, illegal dumping of oversized trash, and possible issues with knowledgeable volunteers to watch over the curbside recycling sites. Possible suggestions for the system to become more efficient include informing volunteers who monitor curbside recycling sites, choosing volunteers wisely, informing residents on correct disposal requirements to avoid attracting animals, make curbside recycling sites harder for animals to get into, use less packaging on products, create an online based oversized trash pick-up reservation system, and increasing quotas for oversized trash.

With globalization, more countries are striving for advanced economic development; however, this is associated with growing concerns over an unstable use of earth’s limited resources as well as a growing trash problem, both linked to the production of greenhouse gases connected to climate change. If left unmanaged, material waste can have deep implications on health and the environment as well as it is costly to deal with, it lessens the aesthetic value of the community, and it causes harm to wildlife (EPA, 2012). To deal with this issue, garbage has

    A MESSAGE THAT WE ALL SHARE TITLE SHEET A message that we all share A research of the campaign ‘All that we share’ released in 2017 by TV 2 Denmark. In addition, an understanding of the Danish viewers' interaction with the message hereof and a view of the campaign in an international context. MASTER THESIS IN CULTURE, COMMUNICATION & GLOBALISATION 10th semester, June 2020. Aalborg University STUDENTS Cristian Voicu (20180685) Ida Marie Stenumgaard (20181122) SUPERVISOR Birthe Mousten Nielsen CHARACTERS: 281,574 PREFACE The thesis is made from an interest concerning a Danish TV networks’ decision to use the message of connectedness and diversity as part of their brand identity. We find is interesting to research why TV 2 decided to do this and further, how they did it. In addition to this, we want to see how the Danish consumers interact with this message and, given the large international response to the campaign and its message, we also want to investigate the international viewers' perception of the campaign. We want to give a special thanks to the 12 respondents and to Vicky Wassman Dahi who participated in our data collection and contributed with interesting and essential meanings and insights to our research. Further, we want to thank our supervisor, Birthe, for her perspectives and constructive feedback. We hope you enjoy the reading. Abstract Today companies employ increasingly more complex branding strategies as they try to keep up with the competition and with the evolving needs and behaviours of consumers.

  • A Benefit–Cost Analysis of Food and Biodegradable Waste Treatment
    sustainability Article A Benefit–Cost Analysis of Food and Biodegradable Waste Treatment Alternatives: The Case of Oita City, Japan Micky A. Babalola Graduate School of Education, Hiroshima University, 1-1-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739 8524, Japan; [email protected] Received: 27 January 2020; Accepted: 23 February 2020; Published: 3 March 2020 Abstract: As the generation of food scrap, kitchen, and biodegradable wastes increases, the proper handling of these wastes is becoming an increasingly significant concern for most cities in Japan. A substantial fraction of food and biodegradable waste (FBW) ends up in the incinerator. Therefore, an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) benefit–cost analysis technique was employed in this study to compare different FBW treatment technologies and select the most appropriate FBW disposal technology for Oita City. The four FBW treatment options considered were those recommended by the Japanese Food Waste Recycling Law: anaerobic digestion, compost, landfill, and incineration, which is currently in use. The fundamental AHP was separated into two hierarchy structures for benefit analysis and cost analysis. The criteria used in these two analyses were value added, safety, efficiency, and social benefits for benefit analysis, and cost of energy, cost of operation and maintenance, environmental constraints, and disamenity for cost analysis. The results showed that anaerobic digestion had the highest overall benefit while composting had the least cost overall. The benefit–cost ratio result showed that anaerobic digestion is the most suitable treatment alternative, followed by composting and incineration, with landfill being the least favored. The study recommends that composting could be combined with anaerobic digestion as an optimal FBW management option in Oita City.

  • Determining Factors of Waste Management in Japan
    Shimamoto K. DETERMINING FACTORS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN JAPAN DETERMINING FACTORS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN JAPAN Kenichi SHIMAMOTO Konan University, Hirao School of Management, Japan [email protected] Abstract The volume of waste produced is a major concern for Japan and has heightened the interest in waste management and recycling. This paper examines the factors that impact the municipal solid waste per capita and the recycle rate, applying panel data from 2001 to 2014 for each prefecture in Japan. The results first find that regions with a higher share of female population have a lower municipal solid waste per capita and a higher recycle rate, both at significant levels. The second finding is that a higher share of senior citizens population also has a significantly lower municipal solid waste per capita. On the other hand, the results show that higher gross domestic product and higher rate of educational attainment results in greater municipal solid waste per capita and lower recycle rate at a significant level. Results indicated that regions with robust financial indicators have significantly higher recycle rates. 3 / August 2019 August / 3 Keywords: municipal solid waste per capita, recycle rate, gross domestic product per capita, financial strength, demographic variables. 1. INTRODUCTION With the development of economic activities and increase in consumption, there is growing social concern over the increased production of waste and heightened interest in recycling. This social concern and interest also apply to Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2016). This paper will examine Volume 14 Issue 14 Volume the factors that impact the behaviours concerning waste and recycling.

It is this role that has made these two identities more compatible. This article first attempts to meas- ure the long-term shift in Japan’s two identities by conducting a content analysis of Japan’s Defence White Papers and then seeks to trace the formation process of Japan’s dual security identity through which it accepted and institutionalized a non-combat military role.

  • Poland and Its Relations with the United States
    Poland and Its Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Analyst in European Affairs March 7, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44212 Poland and Its Relations with the United States Summary Over the past 25 years, the relationship between the United States and Poland has been close and cooperative. The United States strongly supported Poland’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1999 and backed its entry into the European Union (EU) in 2004. In recent years, Poland has made significant contributions to U.S.- and NATO-led military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Poland and the United States continue working together on issues such as democracy promotion, counterterrorism, and improving NATO capabilities. Given its role as a close U.S. ally and partner, developments in Poland and its relations with the United States are of continuing interest to the U.S. Congress. This report provides an overview and assessment of some of the main dimensions of these topics. Domestic Political and Economic Issues The Polish parliamentary election held on October 25, 2015, resulted in a victory for the conservative Law and Justice Party. Law and Justice won an absolute majority of seats in the lower house of parliament (Sejm), and Beata Szydlo took over as the country’s new prime minister in November 2015. The center-right Civic Platform party had previously led the government of Poland since 2007. During its first months in office, Law and Justice has made changes to the country’s Constitutional Tribunal and media law that have generated concerns about backsliding on democracy and triggered an EU rule-of-law investigation.
