A regional survey was conducted in a specialized exercise I (Sato (Yu) Seminar)

　Sixteen third-year students from Sato (Yu) seminar conducted a regional survey in Nagato City on November 21 (Wednesday). . At Sato (Yu) Seminar, we conduct regional surveys as part of specialized exercise I. This year, we surveyed four themes for Nagato City: "fishing industry", "population (settlement, etc.),", "town development (citizen collaboration)" and "sightseeing".

　First of all, we conducted an interview survey at Nagato City Hall. Until now, students have been preparing for the summary of each theme from statistical data and various reports published by the city, extracting questions, etc. On this day, we asked various questions to the person in charge of the city hall about questions.
　After that, we moved to Senza Kitchen and had lunch. We enjoyed the taste of Nagato, such as seafood bowls and yakitori.

　Finally, utilizing the former Oumijima Elementary School, we toured the Republic of Oumijima, which is the base of town development, and talked to the representative (called the "king") Tatsuo Hamano. . In order to secure funds for activities, we are promoting the sixth industrialization (for example, renting abandoned cultivated land to grow mochi rice, making and selling kagami mochi), and conducting school excursions and hands-on tours (such as making kamaboko and handling fish) and creating and circulate handmade information magazines so that local people can learn about their activities. The "Daidai Juice" I received was also very delicious.

　I think that a part of the actual situation in the area could be seen by actually walking and seeing the site and talking to those who are involved in various local issues. . Some groups lost their way, but these little happenings (?) I think it's the real pleasure of fieldwork. It was the best thing that the students enjoyed and worked on.

　In the future, we plan to summarize the survey results and work on presentation and preparation of survey reports. I would like you to carefully summarize the voices of the field and come up with ideas such as problem solving for students and regional revitalization. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of report will be finished.

　Thank you to Nagato City Hall for your cooperation and Mr. Hamano of the Republic of Oumijima.
