In Mongolia, the natural disaster Dzud occurs regularly. Dzuds have adverse effects on mobile pastoralism, which is a key industry in Mongolia. The objective of this study is to quantitatively analyze the factors and trends of herders changing their occupations after dzuds. Surveys were conducted in Dundgobi Prefecture, the most dzud-affected area of Mongolia in 2010. Data was collected from 148 herders’ households. After the dzud, 45 of the 148 households abandoned grazing and migrated to urban area. We analyzed the differences between 15 households that changed their jobs and 20 households that did not, excluding 10 that retired with a pension. The households that changed their jobs were younger and had lesser education, so they were willing to take up any kind of job available. On the other hand, households that did not change jobs were older, and had health problems. In 2012, there was a distribution of mining income from the country, so the head of the household did not have a strong motivation to change jobs. In future, it is necessary to improve the social security and job opportunity for stability of the life of socially vulnerable.

This paper reports situation for reconstruction of buildings in Kathmandu valley after the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. Authors surveyed in Kathmandu and its around cities on November 2018. Although there were severe building damages in Kathmandu, the reconstruction was fast. On the other hand, reconstruction of buildings has been under way in other cities around Kathmandu. Reconstruction of temples has continued and some collapsed buildings were abandoned in even the World Heritage Sites. As building materials of residential buildings, baked and dried bricks and columns and beams of RC construction were dominant. In Nepal, multiple generations family lives in a dwelling, and they build the upper floor of the dwelling as part of renovation. Such as construction culture in Nepal was supposed to make building damage more severe by the earthquake.

In this paper, it would be reported 4 presentations and discussion in a symposium, which was “Developing Heart-wear on Energy Saving Activities: Case Example of RE100 University”. In this symposium, with focusing of SDGs goal 13 “Climate Action”, heart-wear was discussed with case examples. Heart-wear, which was keyword on this symposium, is a base to enhance an effect of action for low-carbon society and to carry on and improve the action. It is also a kind of concept which is a base of human consciousness and behavior to be interacted with hardware and software.

In presentations, activities on Chiba university of commerce and Toho university would be reported. And basic skills to be necessary for continuing actions would be suggested. It would be expected that there is educational effectiveness on coordination among related units and persons before the actions in universities.

In discussions, keeping-up motivations and publication for expanded activities would be taken a point. Delegates from student groups pointed out that their motivations were to be changed, special, growing-up and contributed, which were diverse. Students’ autonomy was very important but, students-only meeting would be tended to diverge and not to take shape as activities. It would be difficult that teachers commit and communicate with students. A cognition of publication would be shared that it is not only to inform but also to communicate and build consensus.

In order to respond to climate change, it is necessary for all people of society to cooperate with energy saving behavior. Environmental education to develop human resources who can take environmental actions is important, and universities are expected to contribute to this development. Toho Ecolution is an environmental group established at Toho University Narashino Campus in April 2017. Facility staffs and students are working together in order to promote energy saving activities on campus, such as charging fees for plastic shopping bags and collecting used paper. In this paper, we discuss the method of practical environmental education in universities based on activities conducted at Toho Ecolution.
