Hachioji CampusPakui Seminar participated in the Everyone's Town Clean-up Day

On Sunday, May 26, 2024, the Pakui Seminar from Department of Political Science Faculty of Law Teikyo University, participated in the Everyone's Town Cleanup Day organized by the Association for Creating a Beautiful Hachioji. The Association is a citizens' group whose goal is to protect the region's abundant natural environment through solidarity and empathy among citizens, foster a love for their hometown, and seek out places for local residents to interact and revitalize community activities. The Kanto-Koshinetsu Quiet Environment Beautification Promotion Liaison Council, which is made up of one metropolis and 10 prefectures, has designated May 30 as "Kanto Environmental Beautification Day (Zero Waste Day)." The Association supports the purpose of this campaign event and is carrying out local beautification activities with the cooperation of various neighborhood associations, local residents' associations, and various other organizations.

The Pakui seminar is conducting research on the theme of "local autonomy," and last year they conducted a field survey at the Tobuki Clean Center to investigate Hachioji City's efforts to realize a recycling-oriented city. At that time, they learned that Hachioji City is working hard to reduce waste in collaboration with citizens, organizations, and businesses, and this time, 10 third-year students from the Pakui seminar participated with the aim of learning about these efforts while having fun.
On the day, cleanup activities were carried out mainly around Hachioji Campus. At first glance, it appears to be a clean environment with little trash, but there were empty cans and plastic bottles scattered here and there, and our students had a great time cleaning up. Local governments and neighborhood associations are also involved in cleanup activities in various parts of the city, and it was a great opportunity to be a part of it. In July of this year, Pakui's seminar is also planning to conduct a field survey on Hachioji's efforts to realize a recycling-oriented city, and will continue to conduct research on local government rooted in the field.
