One of the causes of the boundary problem is that the value of the environment is not correctly evaluated. Therefore, in order to properly implement environmental policies and measures, it is necessary to correctly evaluate the value of the environment. In this course, students will first learn about the value of the environment and methods for evaluating the environment. The students then conduct an environmental assessment (virtual evaluation method) through group work, and finally summarize and report the analysis results. Through the above, students will learn how to make use of environmental assessment in environmental policies.
*The contents of each class may be changed depending on the progress.

・You will be able to understand the value of the environment.
・You will be able to understand environmental assessment methods.

Lectures will be given until the 1 ~ 5 issues. From the sixth session onward, the participants will conduct environmental assessments through group work, and ultimately report, discuss, and prepare reports.
In the case of non-face-to-face lectures, lectures will be conducted online in real time.

・Pre-work: Look for questions or issues from each practice or activity on a given topic.
・Review: Consider the impact of each practice or activity resulting from the discussion.
・The time is assumed to be about 30 to 60 minutes. It is recommended that adult graduate students make use of their actual working hours.

・Participation in group work (Include an interim report): 20 points
・Group report: 40 items
・Final Report: 40 items
Out of the total of 100 points mentioned above, 90 points or higher will receive an S rating, 80 points or higher but less than 90 points will receive an A rating, 70 points or higher but less than 80 points will receive a B rating, and 60 points or higher but less than 70 points will receive a C rating. A score of 40 to less than 60 is given a D rating, and a score of less than 40 is given an E rating, and these 2 grades are not passed. Those who do not submit group reports, those who do not submit final reports, and those who are not present will not be able to evaluate their grades, and they will also be rejected.
