| Research Abstract |
We were able to develop a new site, Tama Forest Research Center in Tokyo as one of the new practice areas besides our former site mainly developed in Matsuyama, Ehime for the last ten years. Research methods such as interviews to the participants and video analysis on participant's behavior were the most effective analysis methods to expose the results of Forest-ESD. As we categorized the past activities of Forest-ESD, activities to recognized the 3D-structure of the forest was lacking. Therefore we adopted the Tree Climbing techniques to take the visually impaired up to the forest canopy to realize the 3D structure of a tree and the forest.
