Abstract
We managed one environmental event with figuratively tagging environmental resources and creating conceptualized town Images to revitalize the environmental perceptions of the MINO JC members, whose were in thirties. This project was a trial of image buildings by them. In other words this event was caused the participants to imagine the ideal town figure to live in.
In the event, after the guidance the participants were divided into four groups and went to walk around the MINO area. Whole going outside, they took some photographs of environmental resources and tagged them with funny names. Finally they drew posters which illustrate each group's conceptualized town images with those photographs and taggings. One group analogized their town image as an amusement park, in which the buildings were figuratively compared to some recreation facilities, the slide, the swing, and so on. Another group focussed on the directions of the roads crossing the city bound for the mountains and their illustraitions brought about rethinking the relation between the city planning and the topography.
As a result of this event, the environmental perceptions of the participants had stimulated and it also indicated the importance to participate the men in thirties ages in these environmental event for reactivating, who had somo kind of ability to create concept.
