Course description

In order to realize a sustainable society, the local communities where people live and work must be sustainable. However, as we enter an era of a shrinking population, many local communities, both rural and urban, are losing their functions. This course will require participants to learn research methods in sociology (qualitative research method and participation observation) to grasp the elements to realize the sustainable local community.

Expected Learning

To obtain a fundamental method of social research through community survey such as an on-the-spot investigation, interview, participant observation and workshop in the research site. Also, course participants will learn how the residents and government work on their region’s problems by conducting research. Competency Development: Please refer to the Curriculum Map on the University's website (Three Policies). https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/
