  • KOYASAN CONFERENCE | Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | RYOTARO URAI

    東京大学先端科学技術研究センターが主催し、「Nature-Centered」の視点から1200年後の未来を語る 「高野山会議2023」に登壇した。私は〈SESSION 04 高野山のまちと人〉に登壇し、「“まちづくり学習”が地域の持続可能な発展にどのように貢献できるか?」というテーマで、自身の研究活動を紹介した。題材は、私が、町立高野山中学校において、学校の先生方と協働で実施している「ふるさと教育」の4年間の活動内容である。【Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.3 Folly Koya Previous Next Folly “Zekuu” that conveys the charm of Koyasan Previous Next Workshop / 2015 / KOYASAN Mount Koya, located in a basin-like flatland surrounded by eight mountains called ``Hachiyo-no-mine'', is a sacred Buddhist site founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai as a Zen training hall in 816. The city is formed around the main training hall called "Danjo Garan". Koyasan is now a world-famous tourist destination, but due to the development of modern transportation, more and more people are rushing around the city instead of taking it easy. Therefore, I designed this folly in the hope that it would be an opportunity for visitors to notice the existence of something invisible and have time to relax and prepare their minds. "Color" represents the world of life that we can see. In other words, all material phenomena, physical life, and destiny. On the other hand, ``empty'' represents the invisible dimension of life, and ``shiki soku is ku'' indicates that the fate of this world is not just a matter of course, but is based on super-dimensional rules. For the building materials of Folly, we used "Koya Reiki" grown in Koyasan. Koyasan trees were widely used as building materials for houses until a long time ago, but due to the influx of foreign materials, they have become less popular. By the way, the lean part should face down and the sardine should face up according to the characteristics of the wood. Since it is a one-day folly, I thought of random stacking, which is not common.

  • koyasan traditional crafts center |Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | RYOTARO URAI

    開創以来千二百年に渡って数多の思想を生んできた高野山。ここには共に支え合う僧侶と人々によって育まれてきた宗教と暮らしの文化がある。しかし,高齢過疎化の進行により仏教とそれを支える伝統工芸を継承する者が不足している。私は希少な存在となった「精緻な手仕事をなす職人」が代々繋いできた生きている文化を守りたい。そこで、単機能のサービスに偏り、まち並みとも切り離された空間になっている高野山大学校舎の一部を活用して,伝統的な工芸・食・林業の継承に携わる職人と地域のこれからを担う子どもを繋ぎ,伝統産業の後継者の育成に貢献できるプラットフォームづくりを提案する。【Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.4 FOODHALL koya Previous Next Food hall "eka" that conveys the charm of Koya's traditional crafts Space design / 2021 / KOYASAN Koyasan has given birth to numerous ideas over the 1,200 years since its founding.

I want to protect the living culture that has been handed down from generation to generation by "craftsmen who do exquisite handwork", which has become a rare existence. Therefore, we will use a part of the Koyasan University building, which is biased toward single-function services and is a space separated from the townscape, to create a space where craftsmen who are involved in the inheritance of traditional crafts, food, and forestry will be responsible for the future of the region. We propose the creation of a platform that connects children and contributes to the development of successors to traditional industries. Specifically, the goal is to set up a “manufacturing studio” where children and craftsmen can foster their creativity together, and to create a foundation for new businesses and indigenous entrepreneurs centered on them. In order to create a communicative space in which all kinds of people, including pilgrims and residents, can easily enter the building as they walk through the town and enjoy conversations and discussions as they please, there will be a theater where pilgrims can learn about the traditional industries of Koyasan. , We have a book cafe that will also be a place for children.

    地方小都市の多くでは地域の次代の担い手として期待される若い世代の人口流出が続く状況にあって,まちづくりを担う人材をどのように育成するかが大きな課題となっている。このような状況への対応として,全国の小中学校ではまちづくり学習を実施するところが少なくない。そうしたまちづくり学習では,子どもたちのまちへの関心の醸成や住民参加の促進,まちづくりを進める上で必要となる知識やスキルの習得などが期待されている。そうした中,世界遺産を有し観光地として著名である一方で近年人口減少が続く高野町の高野山中学校では,総合的な学習の時間に実施される「ふるさと学習」において,新たにまちづくり学習に取り組むことになった。【Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.1 koyasan workshop Previous Next Planning and Practice of “Furusato Learning” in Koya Town 2020 Action / 2020 / KOYASAN Many of the small regional cities are experiencing an ongoing population outflow of the younger generation, who are expected to be the next-generation leaders of the region. As a response to this situation, not a few elementary and junior high schools across the country are implementing community development learning. Such community development learning is expected to nurture children's interest in the community, promote resident participation, and acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to promote community development. Under such circumstances, at Koyasan Junior High School in Koya-cho, which has a world heritage site and is famous as a tourist destination, but whose population has been declining in recent years, new efforts are being made to learn about town development in the "hometown study" that is carried out during integrated study time. is what happened. Implementation process of hometown learning Koyasan, located in the northeastern part of Wakayama Prefecture, is a Buddhist city centered on World Heritage Sites such as ``Danjo Garan'', the main training hall of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, and ``Okunoin'', the mausoleum of Kukai. , an area visited by 1.2 million tourists a year from all over the world. Koya Town has made the enhancement of "hometown learning" one of its important educational policies, and with the plan to integrate elementary and junior high school with Koyasan Elementary School in 2024, the curriculum will continue to learn about the local area for nine years from the first grade of elementary school. is being designed. The contents of the ``Furusato Study'', which has been implemented for first-year students at Koyasan Junior High School, differed depending on the homeroom teacher, but in all cases, the content was centered on research to learn about the history and traditional industries of Koyasan. Teacher A, who will be a first-year homeroom teacher in 2020, will consider planning a town development study with the theme of "Thinking about the future of the town of Koyasan" in this "hometown study". At that time, the author, who was consulted, decided to plan and implement the town planning study together with Teacher A. Plan contents of hometown study In response to Koya-cho's efforts to create a walkable town environment, the authors set the theme, "Let's propose what we want Koya-cho to look like 15 years from now." Specifically, we ask questions such as, "How do we want to use the attractive public spaces that dot Koyasan?" The students will think about "" and present the contents of "Future Urban Space of Koyasan". In addition, the sub-theme was set to create a town where local residents and tourists can enjoy walking by connecting tourist attractions with the focus on ``little-known attractive spots'' instead of famous tourist spots. The class consists of four steps: Step 1: Idea Creation (5 hours), Step 2: Fieldwork (12 hours), Step 3: Town Future Concept (5 hours), Step 4: Future Concept Presentation (7 hours). It was planned to be divided into 2 parts and to be held 18 times for 29 hours in total. Step1: Idea making Nine students were divided into three groups and engaged in group work to examine "places in Koyasan that we want to improve" and "ideas for people to enjoy there". Before the group work, the author gave a lecture on conservation of Koyasan's historical landscape and community development. However, all of the groups remained with vague ideas, so in the second work, the students drew a map of ``places they would like to see improved'' on their familiar route to school, and asked them to ``make the places enjoyable for residents and tourists.'' Thinking about spatial ingenuity for After the second workshop, the town mayor gave a lecture on Koya Town's town planning policy. Step2: Fieldwork In order for the students to physically grasp the actual urban space, they worked on fieldwork for about 100 minutes x 3 times. In the fieldwork, the students drew ideas for the use of the space by drawing sketches on-site at three target sites (Kanarin Park, Benten Park, and a parking lot with Kannon-do) selected by the authors in advance based on the proposals made by each group. It was investigated. During the fieldwork, the students received an explanation of the target area from the author's point of view of inheriting the historical space. Step 3: Future conception of the entire town Students worked on group work to draw a future image of the town based on discussions among students. The content is to connect each fieldwork target area and tourist attractions with flow lines so that residents and tourists can discover new attractions of Koyasan, and to consider ideas that make people want to walk around the entire town. . In doing so, the authors advise the students to broaden their perspective on the whole town and develop multifaceted ideas. Step4:Announcement of future concept The students revised the composition and scenario of the presentations they had prepared so far, and presented the final product at learning presentations on campus and exchange meetings with junior high school students from friendship cities. However, the initially planned proposal to the town mayor was not carried out due to lack of preparation time. Outcomes of hometown learning All the first-year students made a proposal about the idea of a base for walking around the city connecting sightseeing spots, which was a theme set by the author in advance, and compiled it into a three-minute video using illustrations. In Step 1, students share the local issue that tourists visit famous tourist spots and there are few people walking around the city, and they will work on "place creation" at shrines, Kanawa Park, Benten Park, Kannon-do, shops, community centers, etc. discussed the idea of In step 2, the ideas for improving the space in the parking lot of Kanawa Park, Benten Park, and Kannon-do include setting up a stone-paved approach to improve the scenery of the pagoda and shrine, as well as stalls and souvenirs aimed at attracting customers and staying for a certain period of time. We examined the installation of shops and benches. Then, in Step 3, the idea was developed into an overall urban design idea with three locations as bases for walking around the city, and proposals such as sharing bicycles and setting up bases for shrines and temples stamp rallies were compiled as the final deliverable.

Architectural Planning Lab. | Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.1 koyasan workshop Previous Next Planning and Practice of “Furusato Learning” in Koya Town 2022 Action research / 2022 / KOYASAN Since 2020, I have been working on practical research on town development learning at a municipal junior high school in Koya Town, Wakayama Prefecture. His research theme is "analysis of the role of 'town development learning' practice in elementary and secondary education in co-creation town development", and he is conducting research with an interdisciplinary approach based on action research in actual educational settings. . In the action part, at a municipal junior high school in Koya-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, where Koyasan Kongobu-ji Temple is located, in collaboration with teachers, we are working on the planning and implementation of "town development learning" that is assumed to be learned in the three years of junior high school. . In the research part, along with analyzing the process of planning and implementing community development learning, we conducted a questionnaire survey of students after classes were held and interviews with teachers and local residents to find out about the learning programs and implementation methods of each year. We are considering it from a comparison of reactions of local residents. As a result, the ideal program for the implementation of community development learning and its issues were sorted out. Implementation process of hometown learning Koya-cho has a world heritage site and is famous as a tourist destination. Under these circumstances, Koyasan Junior High School, the only junior high school in Koya Town, has been working on "hometown learning" during the comprehensive study period with the aim of establishing love for the hometown. From 2020, town development learning was introduced as part of this “hometown learning”. In the first year, it will be implemented as a proposal-oriented program in which the results of learning are compiled and presented over the course of the year, and in the 2021 academic year, the learning process will include opportunities for regional cooperation through interaction and collaboration between students and local stakeholders. , It was implemented as a grade-by-grade program, assuming continuous learning of community development throughout the three years of junior high school. In the 2022 academic year, it was implemented as a program of inter-grade collaboration projects, assuming that all grades of junior high school will jointly form multiple project teams and be continuously involved in community development activities. Step 1: Examination of research themes After 30 students worked on creating a mind map, they followed the procedure of sharing their thoughts on the attractions and issues of Koyasan on a monitor. After that, they were divided into six groups and examined research themes for proposing the future of the town that makes use of the people, industries, and space of Koya Town. Step2: Fieldwork In order to understand the "attractiveness and issues of Koyasan" and "what we want for the future" by local residents, the students held 12 classes for about 100 minutes (breakdown: 1 class jointly for all first-year students, 5 times for 1st-year students, 4 times for 2nd-year students, 1 I worked on fieldwork for 2 years). The author proposed candidate sites based on the research themes of each group in Step 1, and 13 target sites were selected by teachers and students (Kongobu-ji Temple, carpenter "Onoue-gumi", cypress bark roofing). Craftsman ``Cypress bark house'', Japanese confectionery shop ``Sazanami'', vegetarian restaurant ``Hanabishi'', Kakuhama sesame tofu shop, paper craftsman ``Washi no Kai'', paper craftsmanship ``koubou2466 (Nishimuroin)'', Nankai Electric Railway line value creation section・Guest house “kokuu”, Koya Town Board of Education, tourism town development organization “DMC Koyasan”) will conduct interviews with local residents.

  • KOYASAN WORKSHOP 2021 | Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | RYOTARO URAI

    2020年度より和歌山県高野町の町立中学校においてまちづくり学習を実践している。高野町は世界遺産を有し観光地として著名である一方で,近年人口減少が続く地方小都市である。そうしたなか,高野町唯一の中学校である高野山中学校では,郷土愛の定着を目的とした「ふるさと学習」が総合的な学習の時間に取り組まれてきた。2020年度よりこの「ふるさと学習」の一環としてまちづくり学習が導入された。初年度は,一年間で学習の成果を取りまとめプレゼンテーションまでを行う提案重視型のプログラムとして実施した。それに対し,2021年度は学習過程において生徒と地域のステイクホルダーとの交流・協働という地域連携の機会を組み込むプロセス重視型のプログラムとして実施した。【Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.1 koyasan workshop Previous Next Planning and Practice of “Furusato Learning” in Koya Town 2021 Action research / 2021 / KOYASAN Since 2020, we have been practicing town development learning at a municipal junior high school in Koya Town, Wakayama Prefecture. Koya-cho is famous as a tourist destination with a World Heritage site, but it is a small local city whose population has been declining in recent years. Under such circumstances, Koyasan Junior High School, the only junior high school in Koya Town, has been working on "hometown learning" in the comprehensive study period with the aim of establishing love for the hometown. From 2020, town development learning was introduced as part of this “hometown learning”. In the first year, it was implemented as a proposal-oriented program in which the results of learning were compiled and presented over the course of the year. On the other hand, in 2021, it was implemented as a process-oriented program that incorporates opportunities for regional cooperation through interaction and collaboration between students and local stakeholders in the learning process. Plan contents of hometown study For the 2021 ``Furusato Learning'', the authors set the theme of ``Let's find out the charms and issues of Koya-cho and discuss the future of the town.'' The event was divided into three sub-themes: town development and town development that people would want to visit. As in 2020, the classes will be Step 1: Idea Creation (7 hours), Step 2: Fieldwork (8 hours), Step 3: City Future Concept + Workshop (16 hours), Step 4: Future Concept Divided into 4 steps of interim presentations (6 hours), it was planned to be carried out for a total of 19 times and 37 hours. In 2020, the preparation time for the final deliverable was secured in steps 2 and 3, so the content of the learning program implemented in each step was subject to time constraints. Therefore, in 2021, in addition to increasing the number of class hours, the final presentation of first-year students was positioned as an interim presentation to reduce the burden of preparing for the presentation. In addition, we decided to supplement the work in Steps 2 and 3 in a total of 3 Japanese language classes for 3 hours by coordinating subjects. This provided sufficient time for interviews with local residents and workshops with government officials. Step1: Idea making After the author gave a lecture on changes in the town of Koyasan and examples of community development, 10 students were divided into three groups and worked on creating an image map of the town. However, most of the image maps remained vaguely drawn between school and home. I took the steps to write On top of that, in the third workshop, the students were divided into three themes: ``Creating a city that people want to visit,'' ``Creating a city that is fun to walk in,'' and ``Creating a city that people want to live in.'' considered the idea of Step2: Fieldwork The students undertook fieldwork three times for approximately 100 minutes in order to understand the "attractiveness and issues of Koyasan" and "what they want for the future" that local residents think. Based on the ideas of each group in Step 1, the author proposed candidate sites, and the students selected 15 target sites (Kongobu-ji Temple, Reihokan, Koyasan Tourist Information Center, bookstores). Kobori Nangakudo”, Souvenir shop “Hotokudo”, Tawaraya footwear shop, Japanese confectionery shop “Fuzen”, Nyonindo, Tokugawa Family Mausoleum, Kinrin Pagoda, Haraigawa Benten Shrine, Koyasan University Library, Guest House “kokuu”, Takano executives Interviews were conducted with local residents at police stations and forests (“Genji no Mori”). Prior to the survey, the students received advice from Teacher B on how to conduct interviews in Japanese language classes, and made appointments with local residents. Step 3: Future conception of the entire town + workshop Students worked on group work to draw a future image of the town. Students are divided into the three themes mentioned above, and based on the information collected through fieldwork, they examine ideas that make people want to visit, walk, and live in Koyasan. At that time, we set up a two-hour workshop where we received advice from the staff of the Koya Town Hall Planning Section. In the workshop, the students' ideas and questions about the town that were shared in advance were given advice and answers by the office staff, and then one staff member joined each group to discuss the ideas. Afterwards, the students presented their proposals to local residents, the town mayor, and government officials at an administrative debriefing session in Koya Town, and brushed up their proposals based on advice from the town mayor and others. Step4:Announcement of future concept The students created the structure and scenario of the presentation, put the final results together on A1-sized imitation paper, and presented them at a learning presentation on campus. Artifacts of hometown learning Through interview surveys of local residents, the students became aware of the trends of tourists, measures against vacant houses, and conservation of the natural environment. In Step 1, the students are divided into three themes: "Creating a town that is fun to walk in," "Creating a town that people want to live in," and "Creating a town that they want to visit." Based on interviews with local residents, we examined ideas such as renovation of campsites to accommodate the diversification of tourism purposes of visitors, implementation of a town walking stamp rally, and establishment of cafes using vacant houses. In addition, through a workshop with the staff of the town hall in Step 3, ideas were developed such as assisting in attracting guests to temple lodgings and creating a teleworking environment using vacant houses.

In the action part, at a municipal junior high school in Koya-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, where Koyasan Kongobu-ji Temple is located, in collaboration with teachers, we are working on the planning and implementation of "town development learning" that is assumed to be learned in the three years of junior high school. . In the research part, along with analyzing the process of planning and implementing community development learning, we conducted a questionnaire survey of students after classes were held and interviews with teachers and local residents to find out about the learning programs and implementation methods of each year. We are considering it from a comparison of reactions of local residents. As a result, the ideal program for the implementation of community development learning and its issues were sorted out. Implementation process of hometown learning Koya-cho has a world heritage site and is famous as a tourist destination.

In the 2022 academic year, it was implemented as a program of inter-grade collaboration projects, assuming that all grades of junior high school will jointly form multiple project teams and be continuously involved in community development activities. Hometown learning plan contents The 2022 “Furusato Learning” is divided into three sub-themes set by the students themselves, which the authors have set as the theme “Let’s propose a future town that makes use of the people, industries, and space of Koya Town.” It was planned as a content to discuss "What do you want to do with the town of Koyasan?" The classes will be the same as in 2021: Step 1: Examining research themes (3 hours), Step 2: Fieldwork (14 hours), Step 3: Planning the future of the town (17 hours), Step 4: Intermediate planning for the future Divided into 4 steps of presentation and exchange of opinions (4 hours), it was planned to be carried out for a total of 20 times and 38 hours. It was decided that the work in Step 2 would be done by grade, and the work in Steps 1, 3, and 4 would be done in collaboration with different grades. Step 1: Examination of research themes After 30 students worked on creating a mind map, they followed the procedure of sharing their thoughts on the attractions and issues of Koyasan on a monitor. After that, they were divided into six groups and examined research themes for proposing the future of the town that makes use of the people, industries, and space of Koya Town. Step2: Fieldwork In order to understand the "attractiveness and issues of Koyasan" and "what we want for the future" by local residents, the students held 12 classes for about 100 minutes (breakdown: 1 class jointly for all first-year students, 5 times for 1st-year students, 4 times for 2nd-year students, 1 I worked on fieldwork for 2 years).

Artifacts of hometown learning Through interview surveys with local residents, etc., they became aware of the issues related to the succession of traditional industries, the trend of tourists, and the utilization of historical spatial resources that are not being used effectively. I put together A1 imitation paper and free work (sketches, models, mockups, PPT slides). In Step 1, in the process of examining research themes, the students were interested in three points: ``characteristics and current status of Koyasan's traditional industries,'' ``planning methods for town development ideas unique to Koyasan,'' and ``methods for promoting town development activities.'' In step 2, interviews with local residents are conducted with each grade taking charge of the three viewpoints, and in step 3, you can purchase food and goods that make use of traditional industries in the historical space (park) that is not used well. We considered proposals for redeveloping the facilities as hubs for walking around the town, as well as proposals for holding a stamp rally for walking around the town so that people could come into contact with niche cultural assets and traditional industries. Furthermore, after exchanging opinions with local residents in step 4, in the next year's hometown learning, food development and sales that make use of traditional industries in collaboration with local residents and niche cultural assets in collaboration with government officials A project was born to implement the development of a puzzle-solving map to get people to come into contact with traditional industries.

I believe that there should be a hotel that delves into and embodies the uniqueness of the city, precisely because "Namba" is a base for transmitting its own culture, such as Konamon and Manzai. The focus was on “comedy”. About 1,000 students enroll at Yoshimoto Comedy School in Osaka each year, but only a handful of them become popular comedians. There are many people in Minami, Osaka who continue to pursue their dreams while working part-time. In addition, in recent years, the comedy industry has become more concentrated in Tokyo, and the foundation of Osaka, the mecca of comedy, is beginning to shake. Therefore, I thought that if there was a hotel where young comedians lived together and entertained visitors with laughter, it would be easier to nurture the successors of the comedy culture, so I planned a socializing hotel through comedy.
