Fieldwork

Shifting from focus on economic development in the Philippines, Dr. Aser B. Javier, visiting scholar of Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University and Professor of University of the Philippines Los Banos, provided us a comprehensive lecture about the Philippines. The lecture started from community development perspective and extended to national governance, local goverments, education, local economy, culture and so forth. It told us diverse perspectives of the Philippines. Meanwhile, it enhanced our understanding of a country from social structure to development paradigms. Participants also actively raised many questions by contrasting their experiences and cases of their home countries with the cases in the Philippines. Many hints have been pointed out for our participants to further consider for their research design and reserach plan making.

On May 13, 2015, Prof. Jonna P. ESTUDILLO, from National Graduate Insitute For Policy Studies, provided us a seminar about economic development, Green Revolution, and food security in the Philippines. Detailed data, heart-touching videos and comprehensive explanation enhanced our understanding of the relevant issues in the Philippines. The information about Coron is very helpful for our participants to understand the general situation of the field where we are going to visit in September. In the end of the seminars, students actively joined the discussion and exchanged information together.

Today, we were pleased to invite Mr. Nishide from Odai Town Office to provide an introductory lecture about Odai Town for participants of DFW2015. The lecture included geography, environment, population, industry of Odai Town. It also introduced development plan of the town and practice for short-term and long-term development of the town.

Our participants raised some questions to Mr. Nishide and exchanged some basic idea about Odai Town. We hope this introductory lecture is helpful for our participants to deepen their understanding of the situation of Odai-Town and to be able to find interesting research topics for their exploration in July and Octore, 2015!

Speical thanks is given to Nora san and Mizutani san who kindly interpreted Mr. Nishide’s presentation to English!Otukaresamadeshita!
