1.福島県漁業再生プロジェクト
Fukushima Fisheries Revitalization Project
黒倉寿・八木信行 Hisashi KUROKURA, Nobuyuki YAGI
福島県の漁業に関する現状をレビューするとともに、その復興を妨げている要素を分析し、その解決のための具体的な方策を提案する。必要に応じて福島県の漁業現場にも出向く。なお、良い提案ができたら、その後、その方策を実際に実施してみる可能性もある。
The purpose of this project is to provide innovative proposals to help revitalize Fukushima fishery. In Fukushima, significant damage has been caused by the large-scale release of radioactive substances from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. On 15 March 2011, fishers in Fukushima voluntarily stopped fishing operations in the waters inside of Fukushima Prefecture. From March 2011 to June 2012, all commercial fishing activities in Fukushima waters were suspended. During this period, various governmental institutes collected and analyzed samples of marine organisms and released information on levels of radioactive substances. In June 2012, the Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations decided a limited resumption of fishing activities. But the challenge exists on weak consumer confidence following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The proposals to be discussed in this study must be reasonably practicable and address the issues of the weak consumer confidence. The proposal can be presented to Fukushima fishermen or other stakeholders hopefully to receive their feedbacks.
2.遊休農地を利用したワイン用ブドウ生産による地域の活性化方策
Revitalizing rural areas in Japan with wine-grape production on abandoned fields
小林和彦、高橋梯二, Kazuhiko KOBAYASHI and Teiji TAKAHASHI
日本産のブドウによるいわゆる「日本ワイン」は、近年品質が改善され、かつ、日本的味わいもあり、人気が高まっている。しかし、国内のブドウ生産が減少傾向にあることから日本ワインの生産量は増加せず、全消費量の６％程度しかない。一方、中山間地には耕作放棄地が多く存在し、近年、大手及び中小のワイナリーや、新規ワイナリーが遊休農地を利用したワイン用のブドウ生産を拡大する事例がみられる。かつて、桑畑、あるいはリンゴ等の果樹園だったところは、ワイン用ブドウ栽培が可能なことも経験的にわかってきた。日本全体の人口減少にともなって、一部地方自治体の消滅さえ危惧されるなかで、拡大する遊休農地を利用したワイン用ブドウ生産が、地方振興に役立つ可能性がある。本プロジェクトでは、遊休農地を活用したワイン用ブドウ生産による地域活性化について、現地訪問と文献調査によって現状と課題を把握したうえで、複数回の議論を経て、今後の実現に向けてとるべき方策をレポートにより提示する。
In recent years, Japanese wine has gained increased popularity among the consumers for its remarkably improved quality along with their special characters. Nevertheless, the share of Japanese wine stays at only about 6% of the total wine supply in Japan due to the constraint of declining production of wine grapes in Japan. Against this situation, both large and small wineries have started growing wine grapes on abandoned fields, whose area has been increasing due to the declining rural population. It has indeed been shown that good quality grapes can be harvested in the fields formerly planted to mulberries and apples. The wine grape production could therefore offer an opportunity for saving rural communities from further declines in economy and societal integrity. This project aims at revitalization of rural areas in Japan by increasing wine grape production on abandoned or idle fields. Participants will join field trips and conduct document surveys to first understand the current situations and critical issues of wine grape production in Japan. They will then attend discussion meetings and come up with a report proposing solutions to attain the goal along with necessary technological and institutional interventions.
3.不忍池の自然再生計画 Nature restoration project of Shinobazu pond
山川隆 Takashi YAMAKAWA
不忍池は上野公園の中では自然の残ったところで、訪れる人々の憩いの地となっているが、土砂堆積、水質悪化、外来生物の繁殖などが問題になっている。不忍池とその周辺の環境修復はどのようにしたら良いか、調査して提案する。 （言語は日本語・英語）
Shinobazu pond is located in Ueno Park. This area still remains a lot of natural environment, and this is a place for relaxation and refreshment for people in Tokyo. However, it became an object of public concern by silting up, water quality deterioration, and increase of introduced species.
The purpose of this project is to provide a proposal to restore the natural environment of Shinobazu pond by field and bibliographic survey and group discussion.

Edible oil is an essential component of human diet. It is known to be related to various contemporary adult diseases such as cardiovascular disorders. Thus, consuming high quality oil is a key to maintaining good health. The oil produced by major food processing company has several inherent problems. In fact, oil extraction and refining are the relatively simple processes. And introducing oil production into the rural communities are now drawing wide attention as a venture to connect various local actors leading to the vitalization of the local communities. The purpose of this group activity is to conduct a case study at a farmers’group in Namegata-city (80 km from Tokyo), which is playing the leading role of oil production in Kanto area, and to formulate a proposal to make the project more effective. Around two field visits, group discussion and finalization of the proposal are the key activities. All the activities are conducted in English.
