The Meaning of Reader-participatory Method Used in Yokomitsu Riichi’s 『Seisou』 —The Issue of Family Inheritance and 『Fujin Koron』

Schools may play an essential role as an arena for co-creating community activities that enhance well-being, equity, and citizenship. Still, there is limited knowledge about physical and non-physical factors that contribute to well-being within such approaches. The aim of this study was to identify important factors for well-being as perceived by pupils, school employees, and parents in a community school in Norway. The participatory method photovoice was used, and seven pupils, six employees, and four parents participated by taking photos used as the basis for six focus group discussions. Transcripts of the discussions were analyzed using Systematic Text Condensation. The analysis showed that the participants experienced that the school’s built and natural environment, the activities happening there, and the human resources and organization at the school facilitated perceptions of safety, inclusion, and cohesion, which in turn contributed to well-being. Furthermore, the results showed that co-creating schools as a community arena could be an innovative way of ensuring participation, equity, and well-being in the community. Such an approach might be especially important in deprived areas or in multi-ethnic communities. An important prerequisite to succeed is the openness of the school’s staff to engage in co-creation with other stakeholders in the community.

Participatory Method

Mr. Wash laundry is one of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) located in Yogyakarta. This business was founded in 2015 with 2 workers. In work operations, many involve physical activities that can cause fatigue and musculoskeletal complaints, causing decreased productivity and miscommunication to consumers. Therefore, this research was conducted to improve the work system to minimize these impacts. The method in this study uses an ergonomics participator. This method involves a participatory team, namely ergonomists, owners, and workers. The result of this research is the design of an ironing table and chair using the anthropometric specifications of workers which can reduce fatigue and musculoskeletal complaints.

Participatory Method

Youth is an agent of change for a region, but if youth are affected by the environment and technology, then youth will not be able to make a good contribution to the region, therefore in order for youth to be more productive, it is necessary to be guided, nurtured and directed. As happened to the youth in RW 14 Kampung Babakan CIkeruh, Cimekar Village, Cileunyi Bandung, where most of the youth have been influenced by gadgets and wrong associations. Shifting the role of youth from being productive, there needs to be intensive assistance and empowerment, so that they are able to contribute to their region. In order to be able to assist and empower youth, it is necessary to use a participatory method for youth through youth organizations. The participatory method used is a participatory action study, this method is a research method that uses action/experience steps, reflection, integration, and planning. The use of the participatory study-action method aims to build awareness of youth youth groups in road construction, and through mentoring and empowering youth youth organizations it is hoped that they will be able to realize the wishes of the residents, namely the realization of good and decent roads. proposals for road construction/remediation activities with a length of 50 m and a width of 3 m which are integrated with infiltration wells that function as artificial recharge for dug wells to become a source of clean water for residents around the road. funds for the implementation of its development by exploring the potential around the RW 14 area. By utilizing the existing potential, both the potential of natural resources and the potential of human resources, the road is realized. After the implementation of the work, the youth were directed to compile an accountability report as proof of transparency with the citizens. The results of the mentoring and empowerment of RW 14 youth organizations in general gave a significant change for RW 14 youth youth organizations who initially only played gadgets to become youths who were able to make a real contribution to their area, namely being able to realize the dreams of the community by implementing road construction with concrete rebates.

Participatory Method

With traditional fish drying process, most possible can cause an unhealthy working posture , such as a squatting action. As a consequence , worker will suffer a musculoskeletal disorders because of not ergonomic tools and bad working posture. Without ergonomics working procedures was found that the average of musculoskeletal complaints after working is 52.25 ± 1.03. To solve this ccomplaints, a drying chamber based ergonomics design was built in order to reduce musculoskeletal disorders. Dimensions of the drying chamber were based on anthropometric data of fish craftsmen and the material of drying chamber was by the participatory method. Test was performed on 20 samples and the result showed that the mean rate of musculoskeletal complaints after working is 38.30 ± 1.30. The ergonomic based design for drying camber application can reduce the musculoskeletal complaints up to 26.7%.

Participatory Method

<p>The cumulative impacts of future climatic and socio-economic change have the potential to threaten the resilience of freshwater catchments and the important socio-ecological services they provide. Working with stakeholder groups from Scottish Water (statutory corporation that provides water and sewerage services across Scotland) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (environmental regulator), we established a participatory method for developing a Bayesian Network (BN) model to simulate the resilience of the Eden catchment, in eastern Scotland, to future pressures. The Eden catchment spans approximately 319km<sup>2</sup>, arable farming is the major land use, and the catchment falls within the Strathmore, Fife and Angus Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. The participatory method involves co-developing a BN model structure by conceptually mapping land management, water resource and wastewater services.&#160; Working with stakeholders, appropriate baseline data is identified to define and parameterise variables that represent the Eden catchment system and future scenarios. Key factors including climate, land-use and population change were combined in future scenarios and are represented in the BN through causal relationships. Scenarios consider shocks and changes to the catchment system in a 2050-time horizon. Resilience is measured by simulating the impacts of the future scenarios and their influence on natural, social and manufactured capitals within a probabilistic framework. Relationships between specific components of the catchment system can be evaluated using sensitivity analysis and strength of influence to better understand the interactions between specific variables. The participatory modelling improved the structure of the BN through collaborative learning with stakeholders, increasing understanding of the catchment system and stakeholder confidence in the probabilistic outputs. This participatory method delivered a purpose built, user-friendly decision support tool to help stakeholders understand the cumulative impacts of both climatic and socio-economic factors on catchment resilience.</p>
