This study focuses on the analysis-oriented design education at the Bauhaus under the second director Hannes Meyer (1928–1930). In particular, this paper explores the text by Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky in “Bauhaus” magazine from 1928 about the analysis-oriented design education. To start, their text and analytic drawings are discussed. We then consider the similarities between Klee, Kandinsky, and Meyer. As a result of this analysis, we clarified that the scientific analyses of objects and the intention to integrate such analyses existed in the Bauhaus at the end of the 1920s.

About the landscape plan of the pottery and porcelain town, this study is concluded the following: (1) Eight landscape plans utilize the local ceramics as the landscape resources. (2) Many landscape plans encourage to use the local ceramics as landscape material in the pottery and porcelain town. (3) Traditional crafts have a potential value as landscape resources.

According to the global climate change, the problem of lack of water occurred in several region. For that reason, it is important to reevaluate the water space as the necessary resource. This research targeted evaluation tendency of water landscape in tropical region and took place in Thailand. Both the subjects of Thai and Japanese joined the experiments. As the result of this study, the difference on the thermal sensation toward the outdoor thermal environment was clarified. Especially the Thai subject evaluated water landscape more sensitively than Japanese subjects and it appeared on the result.

I stayed in Thailand from December 28 in 2017 to July 31st in 2018. During the stay, I belonged to the department of Landscape Architecture in Chulalongkorn university. Since I had research collaboration with the teacher there on the water landscape of Thailand before my stay, I chose the university. The 7 months stay was really good opportunity to concentrate on research and also good chance to reconsider about the life in Japan, and I would like to show my great gratitude for having this opportunity.

In this research, we aim to clarify the relationship between the image of different residential areas and the priority order of the factors considered when selecting a location for one's residence, and the degree of influence of the image of a residential area on the selection of residence location with Fukuoka metropolitan area as the subject. People who responded that they [really care] or [care] about the image of the residential area when moving into the area were 56.8% of the total number of respondents. From this one can grasp that the image of a residential area to some extent influences the selection of the location of residence.

The purpose of our comparative assessment is to create a data reference showing what height for kitchen counter tops and sink bottoms is most conducive to ease of use. We used an experimental device with adjustable counter tops and sinks depths heights to test with a large group of subjects consisting of a wide range of heights to determine ease of use for counter tops and sink depth height, then we compared the resulting equation to results of past experiments and research done to show what counter top height and sink depth height is currently most appropriate for use.

In recent years, the use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have become widespread and people are sitting for long periods of time in chairs while using these devices. The physical load on our bodies as a result of this use can greatly differ depending on the angle and dimensions of the chair. In our research, we measured the amount of physical load on the neck, shoulders, arms, and back when using devices by having participants use a chair prototype with adjustable angles and dimensions, and asked them about ease of use at different angles and dimensions, while also factoring in their posture.

Sedimentary rocks including arsenic and pyrite such as mudstone in the Kazusa group are crushed and exposed to the atmosphere to oxidize and acidize them. The neutralization treatment was noticed as a method to prevent the contaminated soil from being contaminated by arsenic eluted. The method to estimate the amount of alkaline materials necessary for neutralization and the stability of the pH of the carbonated soil in the long term were examined. Since it is not realistic to confirm the behavior of pH by the long-term curing and many mix proportion tests, the possibility of the acidification test which is the test to promote the deterioration of the improved soil and the pH obtained by the repeated immersion curing are examined. It was found that the pH value of the acidification test was higher than that in the acidification test. It was suggested that the pH of the pH could be longer than the pH of the sample by the acidification test.

Three span continuous steel cable-stayed bridge with a bridge length of 900 m is under consideration for the Shishijima bridge construction. We proposed a two-steel pipe edge beam structure using an open grating slab which can reduce the weight of the girder. We examined the static characteristics and earthquake resistance of the bridge structure. As an important result, it was proven that the base of the main tower cannot satisfy the earthquake resistance performance against level 2 seismic motion type I. As a countermeasure, we proposed to install displacement dampers in the direction of the bridge axis and we examined the earthquake resistance of this bridge.

In the present study, seismic response analysis was carried out to clarify the earthquake resistance of Unkai bridge on Takachiho and the earthquake resistance was examined. This bridge is a Half-through type steel arch bridge with complicated behavior during earthquake. This paper examines whether Unkai bridge, which is designed by the old standard of specifications for highway bridges, is compatible with the new standard. As the result, the seismic reinforcement was required, the damper and the member reinforcement were carried out. As a result, the deformation and stress level of the main girder became less than the allowable value by the damper installation and member reinforcement. Unkai bridge of the seismic performance was improved.

In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the risk of steep slope collapse and residents' awareness of risk and disaster countermeasures, as an example of inexperienced areas of landslide disasters. As a result (1) the residents of the neighborhood associations who are at risk of steep slope collapse felt that sediment-related disasters were familiar disasters. However, the residents of the neighborhood associations who are at risk of steep slope collapse did not necessarily feel the risk of disaster at the neighborhood association. (2)The residents of the neighborhood association with risk of steep slope collapse did not necessarily participate in disaster-related events in the past three years. (3) The residents of the neighborhood associations who are at risk of steep slope collapse were carrying out disaster countermeasures at home.

Vegetation on the Wajiro Coast located in Fukuoka, Japan, was surveyed for the purpose of obtaining information on the status quo of endangered and invasive alien plant species in late May and early June, 2018. Results were as follows; in total, sixty nine plant species were observed including forty one native and twenty eight non-native species. Of them, two plants, Rumex dentatus and Triglochin asiatica, were endangered species and thirteen plants, Coreopsis lanceolate, Senecio madagascariensis, Eragrostis curvula, Solidago altissima, Opuntia sp., Lantana camara, Oenothera laciniata, Yucca gloriosa, Silene gallica, Cuscuta campestris, Atriplex prostrata, Rumex crispus and Lilium formosanum, were invasive alien species, which means some measures should be taken immediately for biological diversity in this area.

In this study, the case of the Hita city volunteer fire department Otsuru squad and Ono squad in 2017 Kyushu Northern Heavy Rain, the volunteer fire department clarified the activities to be taken at the time of a heavy rain disaster and the notes on future activities. As a result, (1) the volunteer fire department were engaged in activities such as patrol activities (damage confirmation, call for evacuation, crime prevention activities), safety confirmation of members, evacuation guidance, search activities, and securing water sources to prepare for fire. (2) We pointed out three notes on the activities of the future volunteer fire department.
