This is the second interim report for Design Exercise 4.
This assignment will be completed over a period of about one month, so the next session will be the final presentation and review session.
Since they are only second-year students, they are obviously inexperienced in some areas, but I am happy to say that many of them are actively pursuing their studies.
Some students are still worried because they don't know how to proceed with their studies, but when I look at them from here, I can see that they are making progress step by step.
Everyone has their own strengths, so I want them to have confidence in themselves.
We hope that you will persevere until the end in order to submit your final product.
During this survey, we also walked through a ``former tangerine field''.
As you enter the mountain, which looks like a cedar forest or thicket from a distance, you will come across terraced fields with moss-covered stone walls.
When I saw a similar scene last year, all I could think was that it was a photogenic place.
This time, I was able to think a little more deeply, and as I investigated, I imagined that growing trees on terraced fields of stone walls could have a disaster prevention effect, such as increasing the water retention capacity of the slopes and making them less likely to collapse. I did.
On the other hand, there were some places where the stone walls had collapsed and were in dangerous condition due to lack of maintenance.
It seems that preserving and repairing the stone walls on the slopes where the mandarin orange fields are no longer available has multifaceted significance.
The survey also uncovered new discoveries, such as the remains of a windbreak fence and a mandarin orange field that had been cultivated at the top of the mountain.
A mandarin orange field carved into a section of the upper slope.A dogmaki whose branches were cut off.It was probably once a windbreak.The stone wall continues all the way to the top of the slope.When you see the monorack rail, you can tell that there is a mandarin orange field ahead.
