Study on System Development for Environmental Education and Voluntary Activities Based on Woodland and Countryside Conservation

作为案例研究区域，选择了桥本的桥本、和歌山和大阪瑶市的达立。在这两个地区都组织了由当地政府官员、学校教师、办公室工作人员等组成的研究合作小组。在他们的帮助下，在当地农民的指导下，进行了为期1天或3天的保护工作营，如梯田干石砌墙和修剪等传统技术。与英国自然保育义工信托基金会合办为期十天的国际保育工作假期及研讨会。结果，以下几点变得显而易见。对于志愿者活动的激励，首先需要通过实践或视觉讲座会议或研讨会来促进区域理解。其次，当他们的印象或鼓舞的思想与实际的保护工作联系起来时，大多数参与者在保护活动中感到快乐和充实。特别是3天或1天或更多的0天的工作营更有效地产生了相互认可和友谊，并被认为消除了日本和英国参与者之间的语言障碍。通过在林地和农村的实际保护工作，他们对自然环境、林业和农业问题的认识更加深刻。此外，这不仅能有效地恢复当地农民的信心和活力，而且还能消除他们对城市居民的敌意。另一方面，即使是年轻一代和老年人对保护工作的满意度也差不多，因此，在组织合适的工作类型和人数的情况下，他们的参与是没有问题的。在参与的政府官员和学校教师中，有不少人表示对他们的高度认可。因此，希望将自愿保护活动作为社会政策和学校课程中的环境教育与终身教育联系起来。然而，要实现这一制度，必须建立与人民、政府和企业合作的组织，并安排连续的、系统的方案。少

As the case study areas, Hashiramoto in Hashimoto, Wakayama and Kodachi in Yao, Osaka were selected. In both areas, study cooperator groups were organized with local governmental officers, school teachers, office workers and etc. Under their assistance and local farmer's instructions on traditional technic such as drystone walling in terraced paddy fields and coppicing, 1 day or 3 days conservation work camps were conducted for volunteers. The 10 days International Conservation Working Holidays and symposium were also conducted jointly with the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers. In result, the followings became apparent.For motivation of voluntary activities, firstly it is necessary to promote regional understanding by practical or visual lecture meeting or symposium. Secondary, when their impressed or encouraged mind is connected with practical conservation works, most of participants find pleasure and feeling of fullness in the conservation activities. Especially, 3 days or 1 … More 0 days work camps were more effective for generating corecognition and friendship, and it was recognized to remove language barrier between Japanese and British participants. Through the practical conservation works in woodlands and countryside, their understanding on natural environment, forestry and agriculture problems become more deep. Additionally, It is effective for local farmers not only to recover their confidence and vigor, but also to remove their hostile feeling against city dwellers.Since, on the other hand, even young generation and aged people showed similar satisfaction in conservation works, it is considered that there is no problem for their participation, when to organize suitable work type and number of people par a party. Not a small percentage of the government officer and school teacher in the participants suggest their high recognition. So it is expected to connect the voluntary conservation activity to lifelong education as social policy and environmental education in school curriculum. However, to realize the system, it is indispensable to establish the organization in parthership with people, government and enterprise, and to arrange continuous and systematic program. Less
