Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, Japan email: [email protected] Abstract It is crucial to change the behaviour of individuals to reduce CO2 emissions. The goal of this study was to conduct a survey experiment to identify factors that can change the environmental friendliness of individuals in terms of values, belief, concern, controllability, attitude, intention, and behaviour and to use the data to test the hypothesis that providing information about the amount of CO2 emissions attributable to an individual motivates him/her to reduce that amount. The subjects were 102 students at Shiga University in Japan. They were provided with communication opportunities, information about individual or group CO2 emissions, and information about a threshold value provided in the Paris Agreement.

  • New Possibility of Local Broadcasting Station Using Local Animations
    New Possibility of Local Broadcasting Station using Local Animations Takafumi YOKOYAMA*, Atsuyoshi SUEKANE* Kochi University of Technology* ABSTRACT: The Japanese broadcasting industry has been developing their business mainly from advertising. However, the decrease in advertisement has been continuing in recent years. Also, audience’s TV viewing habits have been changing, and the contact time has been decreasing every year. Also, the channels of distribution and devices for using visual image content have been changing greatly. Previously in Japanese broadcasting networks, the branches in Tokyo were the main producers and sales of programs and the relationship with local broadcasting stations had a factor as their infrastructure. However, because of the changes in recent years, there has been a demand for reform in Japanese broadcasting networks. Therefore, it is forecasted that management of local broadcasting stations will be extremely difficult due to the change in the relationship with broadcasting station in Tokyo. Hence, the local broadcasting station must structure a new business model. In Japan, content such as music and animation have been produced mainly in Tokyo in the same way programs have been produced. It is basically because they are labor intensive so it is necessary to complete these projects with many people using division of labor. Therefore, it has had the disadvantage of being expensive. However, because of the development of content production environment, it is possible to produce content with low cost and with few people. This has the possibility of spreading the content production, which has been mainly done in Tokyo, in local broadcasting stations, and content production that is originated in local broad casting stations has been increasing.

  • Community Capability Building for Environmental Conservation in Lake Biwa (Japan) Through an Adaptive and Abductive Approach
    Socio-Ecological Practice Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s42532-021-00078-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Community capability building for environmental conservation in Lake Biwa (Japan) through an adaptive and abductive approach Yasuhisa Kondo1,2 · Eiichi Fujisawa3,2 · Kanako Ishikawa4 · Satoe Nakahara1 · Kyohei Matsushita5 · Satoshi Asano6,1 · Kaoru Kamatani7,1 · Satoko Suetsugu1 · Kei Kano8,1 · Terukazu Kumazawa1 · Kenichi Sato9,1 · Noboru Okuda10,1 Received: 15 September 2020 / Accepted: 16 March 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract In the south basin of Lake Biwa, Shiga, Japan, overgrown aquatic weeds (submerged macrophytes) impede cruising boats and cause unpleasant odors and undesirable waste when washed ashore. To address this socio-ecological problem, Shiga Prefectural Government implemented a public program to remove overgrown weeds and compost them ashore to conserve the lake environment, while coastal inhabitants and occasional volunteers remove weeds from the beaches to maintain the quality of the living environment. However, these efects are limited because of disjointed social networks. We applied an adaptive and abductive approach to develop community capability to jointly address this problem by sharing academic knowl- edge with local actors and empowering them. The initial multifaceted reviews, including interviews and postal questionnaire surveys, revealed that the agro-economic value of composted weeds declined in historical and socio-psychological contexts and that most of the unengaged public relied on local governments to address environmental problems. These fndings were synthesized and assessed with workshop participants, including local inhabitants, governmental agents, businesspeople, social entrepreneurs, and research experts, to unearth the best solution. The workshops resulted in the development of an e-point system, called Biwa Point, to promote and acknowledge voluntary environmental conservation activities, including beach cleaning.
