Utilization of Local Resources in Society
In order to achieve a resilient society that is prepared for risks of disasters and climate change, it is necessary to optimize utilization of local resources in local communities. In this research, we propose new lifestyles for staying in hot-spring areas and prepare opportunities for people to change their consciousness and behavior toward the co-creation of resource utilization processes. We are also developing methods for visualizing public opinions and social acceptance to promote interaction within and outside local communities through questionnaire surveys and social media analysis.
Advocating a new lifestyle in hot spring areas
Collaborators: Waku2 as life
By recommending remote work in the hot spring area, we will propose a new lifestyle in the hot spring area.
We also calculate how much CO2 emissions can be reduced by doing remote work in hot spring areas.
Visualization of people's "connections" and "interests" ・ Data-driven consensus building by opinion propagation simulation
Collaborators: Bahr (Bahr Consulting), Tsuchiya, Kubota, Takemori (Tohoku Univ., Environment Studies)
We will listen to opinions in the hot spring area, create a stakeholder network, and visualize the flow of people's opinions.
It also simulates how opinions propagated.
From these, we aim to build a data-driven social acceptability model for regional resource utilization projects (geothermal power generation, etc.).
Conflict between stakeholders
Creating a place for dialogue in the community
Collaborators: Waku2 as life
As a university, we will be involved in dialogue in the hot spring area from a third-party standpoint.
