    By surveying pupils and school personnel on their evaluations and actual usage of the spaces, this paper aims to obtain information that will provide details on future proposals. The surveyed case was Elementary School A has various forms and settings of workspaces (WSs). As a result, it was found that the open spaces (composed of a series of small spaces of different scales and settings, which is a feature of elementary schools), have promoted pupils’ spatial recognition and diverse activities. It is then, we believe that implementing these open spaces will promote various activities related to living, learning, and playing and expand schools’ range of educational activities and choice of places.

    This study aims to explain changes in pupil numbers and the resulting school closures. From 1963 to 1979, the number of pupils declined drastically, and significant amalgamation and reorganization of schools occurred. The number of pupils has been declining since 1988, but there were no major changes in school numbers until 2008. We classified municipalities into seven categories, according to their changes in school numbers, and we analyzed characteristics of these categories. In 2008, 40% of all in 2008 were small-scale schools with 120 or fewer pupils. This indicates that many small-scale schools will merge and close in the future.

    Storage battery/machine control room for Renewable energy system is different from the typical closed electricity rooms. By opening up the room, it becomes a space for study and observation to teach people about system while providing a sense of presence. Ambient signage that gives visitor an immersive experience regarding renewable energy information is implemented. Integrating projection image, sound and lighting through the motion sensor by visitor’s interaction and projecting onto surface of storage battery housing as screen, energy information is multilaterally brought to visitor.

    This paper reports the comparative results from surveys of physically disabled people, especially orthopedically-impaired people, on their awareness and evaluation of disaster evacuation in an urban environment, in 2010 (before the East Japan Earthquake) and 2012 (after the Earthquake).
    On the whole, respondents’ awareness of disaster preparedness is insufficient, and many suffer from vague anxiety. Consequently, it is still necessary to implement and confirm the existence of support systems and routes at the time of their evacuation.

    So-called “Yama-ate” phenomenon is often recognized in many Castle Towns in Japan, a state of things that a certain mountaintop is seen at the end of the centerline of a road in urban area. In former papers, we used to attempt to build the methodology of investigating this “Yama-ate” phenomenon using GIS. Based on the result, we newly conduct the report of two methods of measuring its presence, such as investigating the presence of “Yama-ate” phenomenon using Differential-GPS, which provide high accuracy positional information, and creating the methodology of specifying the coordinate value of the ostensible mountaintop, using altitude value of commonly-available.

    Local governments in local cities and rural areas have various problems because of declining birthrate and unprecedented ageing society. We have focused on universities (human resources, technology, knowledge and man-power) as collaboration partners for solution to local problems.
    In this study, we analyzed the actual situation of collaboration between local government and universities located in the distance, by the questionnaire survey for nationwide 1285 local governments, where university campuses are not located. In conclusion, we acquired some technical knowledge for good relationship between local governments and universities.

    The authors have been studying parts processing using articulated robots for traditional wooden building systems. In the case of robot parts-processing using multiplex tools, there are two problems. One is the selection of the tool suitable to each part’s shape; another is the generation of a tool path. In this paper, we describe an approach that classifies process patterns, based on the process part’s shape. This paper also demonstrates the verification test for systems developed using this approach through the parts processing of a five-storied pagoda.

    This paper reports evacuation facility choice behavior for Tsunami evacuees in coastal areas of Miyagi prefecture, based on the data of Archives for Reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The choice behavior was modeled by using a logit model. This model is constructed considering psychological cost of evacuation, distance from evacuee to evacuation facility, height of evacuation facility, footprint of evacuation facility, and the height above sea level of evacuation facility. We compared the sphere of disaster evacuation by logit model, the sphere of voronoi diagram and the sphere of voronoi diagram with a restricted direction to facility.
