1) Understand the responsibilities of social capital and its impact on the society and nature, can secure pleasant and comfortable living of people, and can think what is needed to develop and preserve a good urban environment.
2) Understand the basic method to consider about plans using cyclical process supported by systems approach, and can apply it to planning and designing in various fields of social capital.
3) Understand and can explain cost benefit analysis.
4) Understand and can explain various optimization techniques.
Outline:
For this course, a faculty member who was registered to a private think tank and was in charge of urban and regional planning and economic analysis, will give lectures on the goal, purpose, subject, target, method, environmental conditions, etc. for the planning and designing of social capital. Students will also understand the basic concept of planning that uses cyclical process that takes a systems approach.
Cost benefit analysis and inter-industry relations analysis will also be explained. Students will understand impact assessment on regional economy brought about by social capital development.
Style:
Classes will be conducted in a lecture style in line with the textbook.
The overall evaluation of the achievement of the learning will be based on 70% on the periodic exam, 20% on exercise report assignments, 10% on attitude toward class activities such as Q&A sessions. The minimum score for a pass will be 60%.
Notice:
Understand the basic concept of planning, and master it through exercises. Students will learn the basic concept of modelling of social phenomena, and the interpretation method on the results through exercises, etc. Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
