| Research Abstract |
In this study, Nakagawa drainage basin is regarded as a foundation of regional identity, and is set as the essential core of education for the people living there. Thus, the present study investigates how to develop their understanding of their region (Nakagawa drainage basin) from various perspectives, natural landscapes, cultural climates, folklore, social histories, etc. and cultivate 'educational power' of the drainage basin. At the beginning phase, it is planned to make the drainage basin function as an integral outdoor exhibition space, but as the study progresses, it turned out to be clear that the outdoor-type exhibits with labels explaining them are possible to inhibit visitors' free imagination on the exhibits. The idea comes about that the learners should develop their own understandings of the drainage basin through the active mental interactions with various kinds of relevant information collected and presented in the virtual space (Internet space). After receiving such information by themselves, they can readily imagine their own views of and affection toward Nakagawa drainage basin. Such image and affection will be expected to function as a regional identity. The collections of fundamental information on the drainage basin are now open to everybody through Internet and can be used for classes of elementary and secondary schools of the region.
