The remainder of the compendium describes 11 projects which are using educational technology, principally televised instruction, with success. Projects from Brazil, Canada, West Germany, France, England, Japan, Poland, and the United States are presented. Most projects broadcast conventional arts and science programs at the elementary, high schcol, or college levels. Brazil televised a course for illiterates, and France sponsored programs about agrizulture for farmers and the other rural dwellers. Each report includes the aims of the project, description of programming, statistics about participation, and conclusions about the success of the programs.

APPENDIX: Charts summarizing the projects 233 3 P iii i .A.a :E Dr. Helmut Oel 1 e r Director of the Studenprogramm of_the Bayerischer Rundfunk The present compendium has a double purpose: On the one hand it attempts to demonstrate the most important develop- ments concerning the new teaching media and techniques, on the other hand it is intended to inform all padagogues, producers, and politicians interested herein of the latest state of discussion in this field. The first part of the compendium illustrates changes of society which have led the traditional educational system in modern industrial society into a_:critical situation, and also discusses some of the demands made by the society of tomorrow on the educational system of today, It cannot be assumed that society will, with the help of the traditional means of educational policy, be able to overcome-thiS-critioal situation and meet the general demand both for equal educatio- nal chances for all of its members and for an improvement of the quality of training at all levels of education. `However, directed exploitation of the neu teaching media and techniques, of television, radio, films, programmed learning and- of teach- ing and learning machines, does seem to constitute a path leading out of the structural crisis of our educational system. This thOught is taken up and discussed in the second part of the compendium. In so doing, not only the state of affairs of current research in the field of teachingmedia_and tech- niques is taken into consideration, but a view of future developments and tendencies is also provided. The third part of the compendium documentates concrete possi- bilities of,application of electronic media in all sectors cf the educational system..here, those projects are described which have exceeded an experimental stage and are at present already making a concrete contribution within the field of education. In addition, not only the successes, but. also the difficulties are presented here, which had to 'be overcome within the framework of organization and realization. In this way the experience is to be made available, from which 4 a benefit can be derived inthe case of similar projects to be conducted in other countries. The projects described show in animpressive manner that educational television has passed its test. Theexperience made states that instructional television,combined with other teaching forms and teaching aids, is just aseffective as conventional teaching, and thatwith the help hereof a larger number of people can be taught with lessexpendi- ture. Nevertheless, the studies and projects also showthat television and the new media are not panacea which auto- matically solve all problems. The problem of qualitystill retains its former significance in the case of the newteach- ing media. In the course of discussions and when planning projects,the participants often consider it to be more important to use as much teaching technology as possible, ratherthan to re- flect on the didactic aim. This danger originates on the one hand in the fascination created by technology and its social prestige, on the other hand in the vitality which is normal- ly developed by an organization linked to such technological instruments, and further in a questionable approach to the novel methods and techniques. Technology should help and serve to realize a cause, as we otherwise run therisk of this very technology controlling and governing the educational process, instead of rendering this process possiblein a new way. We are now faced with the task of continuing the development of the new media and techniques, teaching forms and learning aids within a combination of systems (multi-media-systems). These systems must be integrated into the general efforts made in order to promote education. In this connection, re- search asks itself the following questions: Which are the special possibilities offered by the various media? In which special way are they suited for certain aims? Which combina- tionof media and techniques, teaching forms and learning aids is especially suited for the attainment of certain aims? In which way must teaching with technical media be supple- mented by teaching in groups, in order to achieve the maximum effect? What results form all these factors in respect to the didactics of the individual media and the combination hereof? In what way can the habits acquired during youth when dealing with technical media be utilized for life-long education and training? Which conditions and demands must be applied to the individual systems, so that one day they can form parts of a complete work? S - 4 - I hope that this compendium may provide pedagogues, producers, and politicians with a stimulus for the exploitation of the new media and techniques at schools, universities, in voce tional training, and'in adult education. The demands approach- ing us can only be met by the new partnership. of all parties concerned; a partnership, within tie framework of which every- body is obliged to make his own particular contribution: the pedagogues and scientists, the subject design, the producers and communicators, appropriate production and its distribution, the politicians, the society foundations and political foun- Aations, andl encompassing everything, critioism. Because, basically speaking, everybody will - in communication of the future want to reinforce and not to reduce the freedom of aelection, and the freedom of the individual within society. 6 - 5 - EDUCATION AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: THE PRESENT CRISIS AND THE FUTURE STRATEGY

  • Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City That Pursues Harmony
    Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City that Pursues Harmony between Conservation and Development- 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY’S BIODIVERSITY RESOURCES Geography The city of Kanazawa is located near the center of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is bordered to the north by the Noto Peninsula and to the west by the Sea of Japan, with its coast covered by sand dunes which extend north into the famous Uchinada Dune. Mt. Okuiozen (939 m) and other mountainous areas to the east separate the city from neighboring Toyama Prefecture, while mountains in the southeast rise to altitudes of over 1,500 m above the sea level, with Mt. Naradake (1,644 m) being the highest peak within the metropolitan area. Kanazawa‟s most important watercourses, the Sai and Asano Rivers, have their sources in these mountain systems, from where they flow towards the Sea of Japan, dividing the city into 3 plateaus. Further downstream, the Sai River divides the plains to the west of the city into a northern and a southern area, with different characteristics. The northern area is an alluvial plain formed by deposits of gravel, sand, clay and silt, which have been transported by the Sai, Asano, Kanakusari and Morishita Rivers. It is characterized by low humidity and mild slopes and contains the largest body of stagnant water in Ishikawa Prefecture, the Kahoku Lagoon (4.13 km2). On the other hand, the southern plain represents the northeastern part of the alluvial fan formed by Tedori River, the longest river in the prefecture, having a more hilly structure than the northern plain.

    Contract Report to the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council September 2011 Final Report Assessing the State of Japanese Coastal Fisheries and Sea Turtle Bycatch -Contract No.: 10-turtle-009 Name of Contractor: Sea Turtle Association of Japan Naoki Kamezaki Ph.D., Director Mail Address: Sea Turtle Association of Japan Naoki Kamezaki Nagao-motomachi 5-17-18, Hirakata, Osaka 573-0163 Japan Tel:+81-72-864-0335; fax:+81-72-864-0535 http:://www.umigame.org e-mail: [email protected] 1. Purpose The Sea Turtle Association of Japan (STAJ) receives over 500 reports annually regarding dead stranded sea turtles. Fishery bycatch is assumed to be the greatest source of mortality of stranded turtles in coastal Japan. In addition, STAJ conducts research and monitoring on sea turtles that are bycaught in pound nets in Kochi, Mie, and Kagoshima prefectures, where approximately 100 turtle bycatch are recorded at each pound net site (Ishihara et al., 2006; Iwamoto, 2006; Yamashita, 2007; Takeuchi, 2008). Of the monitored sites, the site in Mie prefecture has a very high mortality rate, suggesting that fishery bycatch cannot be ignored as a source of sea turtle mortality. Moreover, many of the fishers operate with various fishing gear and method depending on the season, leading to extensively varied operation size and type of fisheries across the country. As a result, determining the types of coastal fisheries that pose the greatest threat to turtle populations as well as the extent of bycatch is critical in recovering the population of loggerhead turtles, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, and leatherback turtles that utilize coastal Japan as their habitat.

  • Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture
    Excerpt from the FY2013 White Paper on the Environment Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture Aichi 1 − Introduction − In 2013, Japan witnessed record heat and destructive typhoons, causing considerable damage throughout the nation. Some experts have argued that such abnormal weather phenomena can be attributed in part to global warming. Recently there has been growing health concern about fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, an air pollutant found in toxic smog. To provide its residents with detailed information on PM2.5 levels, the Aichi Prefectural Government has reinforced its air quality monitoring system, including increased monitoring locations. Now that global environmental issues have a diverse range of impacts on our everyday lives, we need to strengthen public administration as regards environmental protection from a global perspective. In November 2014, the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) will be held here in Aichi Prefecture. This conference is of great significance, in that it will bring together those engaged in ESD from Japan and abroad to conduct lively discussions on this subject under the theme of “Creating a Better Future for the Planet.” The environmental awareness of the citizens of Aichi Prefecture has been enhanced through international environmental events hosted by Aichi, such as Expo 2005 Aichi Japan in 2005 and the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD-COP 10) held in 2010. We believe that the UNESCO World Conference on ESD will provide another springboard for the people of Aichi Prefecture to further increase environmental awareness and promote pro-environmental behavior.

Tsunami source consideration of the 1662 Hyuga-nada earthquake occurred off Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan Kei Ioki1, Yusuke Yamashita2, and Yoshihiro Kase3 1Geological Survey of Japan, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan ([email protected]) 2Miyazaki Observatory, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan ([email protected]) 3Geological Survey of Hokkaido, Hokkaido Research Organization, Japan ([email protected]) Hyuga-nada region is located at the south-western part of Nankai Trough, in the Pacific Ocean. M7-class interplate earthquakes are repeatedly occurred by the subducting Philippine Sea plate beneath the Eurasian plate. The largest earthquake in this area was the 1662 Hyuga-nada earthquake (M=7.6) which occurred off Miyazaki Prefecture, south-eastern area of Kyushu region, Japan, and generated tsunami (after called the 1662 tsunami). Strong ground motion hit and many structures were broken near the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture. The tsunami heights were estimated at least 4-5 m along the coast of Miyazaki city, and more than 200 people died by the earthquake and tsunami by historical records. This region is also active area of the shallow slow earthquakes. The 1662 tsunami was much larger than tsunamis generated by usual M7-class interplate earthquakes. It is known by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that focal area of shallow slow earthquakes also become a tsunami source area. So, we hypothesized that the 1662 unusual large tsunami was caused by the coseismically slipping of focal area of shallow slow earthquakes.
