    Exploring Japan’s approach to environmental education, particularly in the context of waste management, offers valuable insights into the intersection of education and sustainability. Environmental education, implemented over an extended period, has played a pivotal role in shaping societal values toward sustainability. In Japan, such activities have been ongoing since the 1930s, yet the long-term impacts on societal behavior and policy development remain underexplored. This study presents an overview of Japan’s educational framework, focusing on quantitative trends based on a nationwide survey of waste incineration facilities conducted in 2010, reflecting data from fiscal year 2009. The survey achieved a 94% response rate (731/775 facilities) and revealed that in fiscal year 2009, approximately 1.28 million people visited waste incineration facilities, with 69% being fourth-grade students participating in curriculum-based field trips. Extrapolating from these data, it is estimated that 44% (55 million) of Japan’s current population has experienced environmental education through such visits during their elementary school years. This widespread participation underscores the extensive reach and societal impact of these initiatives in fostering awareness of waste management. By integrating the Sustainable Approach, which ensures intergenerational equity, with the Capability Approach, which empowers individuals for sustainable well-being, this study illustrates the potential of Japan’s long-standing environmental education practices, particularly in fostering sustainable behaviors and policy innovations, to serve as a global model for sustainability efforts.

    This paper discusses the environmental education conducted at waste treatment facilities, which is a significant feature of waste management in Japan. This kind of research has never been done before. In this study, responses were obtained from 82.2% (755/919) of incineration facilities in Japan. According to the survey, 96% of incineration facilities accept visitors. During normal times before the COVID-19 pandemic, they were visited by 8.71 million people annually. Among them, 1.08 million people participated in field trips and lectures to learn about the waste treatment system, with 67% being fourth-grade elementary school students visiting as part of their classes. The practice of elementary school students learning about waste treatment began with the national curriculum guidelines enacted in 1971 and has continued for about half a century. Incineration facilities are equipped to accommodate elementary school students. In 2020, Japan was also hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even in such circumstances, waste incineration facilities and elementary schools endeavored to continue the field trips for elementary school students. General visitors decreased by 92% from the previous year, but visits as part of elementary school classes only decreased by 77%. The survey results indicate that incineration facilities made efforts to continue the tours for elementary school students by adjusting the timing, implementing infection control measures, and limiting locations. It became clear that many waste management professionals believe that field trips to waste treatment facilities for elementary school students should continue even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    本論では食品リサイクル普及の視点から、事業系一般廃棄物処理手数料について検討した。武蔵野市は手数料を値上げすることで、焼却する生ごみを減らし、リサイクルすることに成功した。このことで環境保全だけでなく、経済効果など多面的効果を生み出した。 多くの自治体が実際の費用よりも低い手数料を設定している理由として、一般廃棄物会計に取り組んでいないことを明らかにした。 登録再生利用事業者にアンケートを実施し、自治体が一般廃棄物会計へ取り組んで適切な手数料の設定を求めていることを明らかにした。 武蔵野市のように、手数料が適正に設定されることで、全国で1000億円弱のリサイクル市場がうまれる可能性がある。

    The 3R behaviors of citizens have proven to be an important part of Japan′s waste management process, and this public behavior has been influenced through environmental education programs working in conjunction with waste management facilities. For nearly 40 years throughout the country these facilities have been instrumental in arranging for visits by primary schoolchildren, however budget deficits at the local government level are now threatening the sustainability of such important environmental education programs. <br>The author conducted surveys to understand the influence of introducing the“designated manager system” and how similar social education facilities like libraries, museums, and public halls can have an impact. The survey results revealed four main points toward the sustainable administration of these environmental education facilities: the first is reconfirmation of the mission; the second is mutual cooperation by all involved facilities; the third is development of the evaluation index; and the fourth is carrier support by working persons.

    循環型社会構築や脱気候変動に向けた取り組みには,家庭や地域,企業等における個々人の理解と行動が欠かせない。そこで,関連する知識を体系化し,習得を促す教育プログラムとして,「3R・低炭素社会検定」教育事業を展開している。検定受験者等へのアンケート調査から,「ごみ減量の有効な方法やごみ問題に関する情報を他人 (家族以外) に対して伝えたり,広めたり教えたりする活動 (リーダー活動)」を実践している人ほど,知識の必要性を実感していることがわかり,検定の重要なニーズであることがわかった。他方,受験者とそれ以外をあわせて全般に,「現在,環境啓発・教育活動を行っていないが,今後は行ってみたい」という人が約4割存在し,この層にさまざまな働きかけを行うことが,活動の輪を広げるために重要と考えられた。また,廃棄物関連事業の現場スタッフの教育に活用する事例もみられ,業界全体のレベルアップにつながる動きとして期待される。

    In 1990's several faculties of universities have started to construct reducing waste systems by sorting collection of municipal solid waste in campus. In 2000's some universities beginning to get seriously involved in reducing waste systems as the whole university. Waste producers' cooperation in waste sorting is essential. Placing attractive receptacles could be effective to separate and reduce waste. At Osaka Sangyo University it has not started to collect sorted municipal waste. The survey about preferences to types of receptacles, based on questionnaire with 657 students and 34 sanitation workers had accomplished. It shows that 1) Students have their consistent preference structures to some extent 2) There are some characteristic preference between their attributions (such as sex) 3) Satisfaction level on present receptacles cause characteristic preference 4) Many students recognize separation sign as an important factor of receptacles 5) sanitation workers have different preference structures between students 6) foreign students needs illustrated separation sign on receptacles 7) Some students want to feel fun with well designed receptacles.

    本研究は、住宅内の空気循環系に組み込む簡易な蓄熱システムとして、常温に固液の相転移温度を連続的に有するパラフィン系材料の適用可能性を検討した。まず、形状安定化のためのゲル化、シート化による接触面積の増大、金属材料によるスペーシングなどの改良を行い、潜熱特性を十分に引き出せることを実測により確認した。次いでシミュレーションにより、日射余剰熱と床下の夜間加熱を床下のパラフィンへ蓄熱すれば、暖房負荷で約20%、電力料金で約30%の削減が可能であることを明らかにした。

    An environmental time capsule or ET Capsule which will retain samples and data for an ultralong period is covered in this report. The samples will serve as fundamental data for researchers in the distant future. For this purpose, actual samples will be ideal to be preserved together with written records describing living things on the earth and their environments. We plan to seal the actual ET Capsule at 00:00, January 1, 2001, hoping it will be a good opportunity to leave the environment of 20th century earth for people in later centuries. This report discusses various aspects and problems associated with long-term storage of environmental and biological samples and describes the related studies we have made.

    Source separation of household wastes is the key issue of urban waste management to spare landfill of treatment residue and to promote resource recovery. However, the municipal administration often adopts the policy to collect and incinerate mixed wastes in order to simplify the management system, to decrease the operation cost and to relieve the citizens' labor. It is hypothesized, in this paper, that the source separation can be accepted by citizens when a proper social system is established so as to inform them direct and indirect effects on economy and environment. A questionnaire survey was carried out in a suburban city of Osaka to identify the citizens' multi-attributive utility function related to their wastes discharge in view of profit, comfortableness, convenience and socio-environmental impacts. The result proves that a certain combination of wastes collection alternatives not to degrade citizens' total utility can be found for each group which is characterized by the level of social concern, even though the category of source separation is increased. Finally, a socio-environmental system aided by an information network will be herein proposed including administration information dissemination, participatory citizens' researches on resource recovery, university extension, etc.
