Outline and objectives

Join us in the seminar course to gain understanding on fundamental aspects of landscapes and sustainability. We will learn various issues related to landscape sustainability through active learning. This course is directly related to the aims of the Sustainability Co-creation Programme (SCOPE) at Hosei University.
A vital attribute of the seminar course is developing a “class project” where students are required to bring their own research questions while employing a suitable method to explore the answer (e.g., literature review, interview, questionnaire, observation). Students will then be required to write a report, summing up their investigations. Depending on their research projects, students will also get chances to learn from fieldworks, and from local stakeholders/resource managers regarding various local sustainability problems.

Goal

The course is designed as an advanced seminar course for undergraduate students. Those who are interested to know about sustainable landscapes from a socio-ecological viewpoint are welcome. By completing this seminar, students will gain a critical understanding of the various challenges of sustainable resource use mainly through critical thinking, and discussions.
