13 students and 1 faculty member conducted field surveys and fieldwork mainly in Yufuin-cho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture, on a schedule of 2 nights and 1 night from August 9 (Fri) to 10 (Sat), 2019.

　On the first day of the 9th, we left the university at 7:00 in the morning and headed to Yufuin, and from 10:00, we talked to Shintaro Ota, chairman of the Yufuin Onsen Tourism Association, about the current situation and issues of community development centered on hot springs in the Yufuin area. I heard. While valuing Yufuin's unique life and lifestyle, we have been exploring ways to promote hot spring tourism and community development different from Beppu Onsen, and have developed the Yufuin brand. I learned about issues, the balance between maintaining Yufuin's uniqueness and capital inflow outside the prefecture and free rider issues.

　From noon, the "Harappa Cafe" operated by NPO-style no Harano, a non-profit organization Murazukuri NPO, also serves as an inspection. We had lunch at the restaurant. You will receive dishes using local ingredients in a buffet style, and after the meal, you will decide the price yourself and put it in the box, taking into account the satisfaction of the customer's own dish and the possibility of maintaining the store. Was. After that, at 14:30, Mr. Urata talked about the outline of the activities of the NPO, exchanges and relationships with foreign tourists and local communities and farmers through the business, the fun of the NPO business and management issues. .

　After that, while shopping for the barbecue ingredients for dinner, we walked about 2 km to the accommodation facility "Yufuin Flora House" through the Yunotsubo Kaido, where restaurants and souvenir shops are crowded. At dinner, each seminar student was responsible for sharing roles, baked Bungo beef, local vegetables, yakisoba, etc. on charcoal fire to deepen exchanges between seminar students. We had you cook locally grown rice with the help of the inn, and the students made rice balls and enjoyed it.

　On the morning of the 10th, after having a breakfast using Flora House homemade baby leaf and herbs as ingredients, President Masako Ando talked about the accommodation business of Flora House, the cultivation and sale of herbs and Phalaenopsis orchids in houses utilizing hot spring heat, and how to create a community in Yufuin. A variety of initiatives through rich exchanges based on trust and beliefs with people inside and outside Yufuin, global environmental issues felt through agriculture, the importance of learning from reading and lectures in community development, community development and "How do you live? The students listened to and thought about questions such as "What do you live for?" and the connection with their practice. “How do you live? I also brought home my homework about the question "What do you live for?" In the garden of Flora House, a bodhi tree, a symbol of "freedom" is planted in France, and we asked about the background and thought about the importance of encounters and connections between people.

　After that, from 11:00 to 15:00, based on what I learned so far and what I learned through interviews, I actually saw and thought about community development in the Yufuin area for each of the three groups. After 15:00, I took a university rented bus, visited the crater no Izumi at Tsukahara Onsen, another hot spring area in Yufu City, and returned to the university after 18:00.

　Students can gain multifaceted learning and diverse perspectives on how to create a community through pre-field work preparation and learning and interviews on-site interviews. It seems that it was a fruitful seminar survey trip with the opportunity to think about it.
