URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF SHRINES IN TOKYO AFTER 1990 : A Spatial Analysis of Shrines in Tokyo and an Oral History of the Development Process

The purpose of this project is to examine the transformation of shrines that have progressed with re-urbanization and to discuss the issues of shrines at the turning point by clarifying the spatial change and development process through a survey of shrines that have been developed under the initiative of the private sector in Tokyo ward area. Through the research, it was clarified that the shrines have progressed due to the unique development, changes in visitors’ behavior, and the creation of new value. On the contrary, the relationship between the various powers surrounding the shrine was found to be unbalanced

INDEPENDENCE AND COOPERATION CONTINUITY WITH INHABITANTS OF FREQUENTLY COMING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND GRADUATES IN DEPOPULATED MOUNTAINOUS AREAS : Focusing on activities derived from “Genryu College” training programs in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture

Effective methods to ensure the independence and the cooperation continuity with inhabitants of university students and graduates (USGs), which help enhancing sustainability of local communities, are to continue the cooperation among USGs by building the system for taking over activities with clear roles such as management of events, to make USGs and inhabitants cooperate independently by using Community-Reactivating Cooperator Squad (CRCS) members or former CRCS members as mediators, and to make USGs and inhabitants exchange personally through placing their activity bases close to each other

Production Methods and Context of Green Laver Cultivation where a unique Land Property System is practiced : Comparison between before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake in Matsukawaura, Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture

Green laver cultivation has been continued in Matsukawaura for a century, being a vocation to those involved in it. Looking through the history of their cultivation livelihood, it was found that a unique system for land property existed. Additionally, their livelihood was sustained based on the fishing ground usage mechanism derived from the unique land property system even before the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. This research clarified the reconstruction support projects done to aid the vocation after the earthquake and further focused on the green laver producers. By analyzing series of evaluations done by the green laver producers, it appeared that they were seeking three courses to sustain their vocation. These three courses arose from their intentionality towards modern needs, culture and history. To sustain their vocation after natural disasters, the aforementioned three aspects of their intentionality needs to be carefully considered

Toward Autonomous Collision Avoidance for Robotic Neurosurgery in Deep and Narrow Spaces in the Brain

The present authors have been developing a master-slave neurosurgical robot and its intelligent control for tasks in the deep and narrow spaces of the brain. This paper proposes a robotic autonomous control method for avoiding possible collisions between the shaft of a surgical robotic instrument and the surrounding tissues. To this end, a new robotic simulator was developed and used to evaluate the proposed method. The results showed the proof of concept of the proposed autonomous collision avoidance, which has the potential to enhance the safety of robotic neurosurgery in deep and narrow spaces.</p
