School on the Cloud - Special TrackSpecial Track: As we are well into the 21st century, important differentiations have occurred related to the way we view Education and (Geo)ICT. That is, educational processes such as openness, sharing, interpersonal relationships, discourse, personal motivation, tacit over explicit knowledge, as well as the sharing and reusability of learning resources on the web cannot be addressed in the traditional ways now in place. In other words, these processes cannot be dealt with unless we accept the need of new teaching and learning approaches supported by (Geo)ICT technologies in the form of Cloud computing that leads to the educational approach of School on the Cloud, which we want to adress in this special track. Topics: We welcome papers and posters that focus on the (dis)advantages of cloud-based geoinformation for (secondary and postsecondary) learning or cloud-based environments for GI related education. Invited are both best practice examples, or research papers on specific competence models.Types & Deadlines. GI_Forum 2015 gives authors choices about the type of submission they want to make in order to accommodate a variety of interdisciplinary contributions.

第13回「フィールドワーク・イン・JAPAN」のお知らせ
(全国中学校生徒地域研究発表会)
~ フィールドワークを通して、よりよい地域を考える生徒を育てよう ~

来春、「フィールドワーク・イン・JAPAN(FIJ)」(全国中学校生徒地域研究発表会)の第13回大会を開催します。

この会では、全国各地の中学生が社会科や「総合的な学習の時間」などの授業で身に付けた地域の調べ方を活用して、それぞれの地域の地理や歴史、生活・文化などを観察・調査・研究した成果を持ち寄り、発表し合ってきました。生徒は地域のことを調べ、その成果を発表することにより、それぞれの地域を見直し、地域への愛着を深めてきました。また、発表したことが自信となり、学習への意欲を高めた生徒が多くみられました。
 
発表の機会をもつことは、学習指導要領で学力の基盤と位置づけられている「言語活動の充実」を図る上でも大切です。また、学習指導要領では、地域の地理や歴史、生活・文化を学習することや、地域社会に参画することが重視されています。この大会が生徒の皆さんにとっても「身近な地域の調査」を指導する先生方にとっても有意義な機会となるよう関係者一同、準備に取り組んでいます。

少しでも多くの学校や先生方にご参加いただけますよう、ご案内申し上げます。

1.日時 平成27年3月8日(日) 10時開催
2.場所 東京都立小石川中等教育学校 1階(多目的ホール)

第3回高校地理教育の在り方に関する勉強会

第3回高校地理教育の在り方に関する勉強会
高等学校における地理教育は、日本人の教養を育む上で極めて重要です。
しかし、現在、高校で「地理」を選択する生徒は全生徒の半数程度ですが、今後の制度改変の中で、その数が激減し、悪くすれば「地理」という科目が消滅してしまう恐れがないとも限りません。

また、平成26年11月20日、文部科学大臣から中央教育審議会に対し、「初等中等教育における教育課程の基準等の在り方について」諮問されましたが、その中で、高校教育について改善を図るべき課題の例示として、「日本史の必修化の扱いなど地理歴史科の見直しの在り方」が示されました。

そのような状況下において、現場で地理教育に携わる教員や地理教育の研究者を含め、各界で地理に関係し、高校地理教育に深い関心を持つ者が集まり、高校地理教育について知見を広め、認識を深めつつ情報・意見交換をすることは、地理教育の内容と実効性を高め、延いては日本人の知的レベルを向上させる上で意義深いものがあると思います。

「高校地理教育の在り方に関する勉強会」は、このような観点から、地理に関してご理解の深い有識者を囲み、そのお話をお聞きするとともに、情報・意見交換をし、交流を深める場として企画しました。今回は、その第3回目として、海洋政策研究財団の寺島紘士氏を講師としてお招きし、下記のとおり開催します。皆様のご参加をお待ち申し上げます。
 
日時:平成27年2月18日(水)14時30分~16時30分
第1部 14時30分~15時30分講演
第2部 15時40分~16時30分意見交換

2022年までのIGU国際地理学会議の予定

2022年までのIGU国際地理学会議の予定をお知らせします。
2017年はRegional Conference を開催しないことが既に決まっていますが、代わりに、より小規模の"thematic conference"を(たぶん複数)開催するという方向で議論が進んでいます。2019年、2021年についてはまだ白紙ですが、いくつかのコミッションが共同で組織する"thematic conference"が増える可能性が高いように思われます。

Call for Proposals for Transformative Knowledge Networks


A new long-term vision to address today’s great challenges of global environmental ch
ange and sustainability via enduring social transformations and social change is launc
hed today with an initial 2.7 M  three-year commitment from the International Social 
Science Council.

The ISSC and its partners are inviting applications for proposals for Transformative
Knowledge Networks for the recently launched Transformations to Sustainability
Programme <http://www.worldsocialscience.org/activities/transformations> . Three
Transformative Knowledge Networks will each be supported with up to ?900,000 over
three years.

The Transformations to Sustainability Programme seeks to address global
sustainability challenges by supporting research on the complex processes of social
transformation needed to secure effective, equitable and durable solutions. It will
enable social scientists to develop knowledge networks that will both strengthen
social science leadership in global change and sustainability research and foster
on-the-ground progress towards greater sustainability.

The Knowledge Networks will be led or co-led by social scientists in low- and
middle-income countries, and will involve the relevant academic disciplines and
societal stakeholders in truly co-designed and co-implemented solutions-oriented
research. 

Objectives

The Transformations to Sustainability Programme ultimately will inform and enable
social change toward more sustainable and equitable societies worldwide, by
broadening and deepening our understanding of how change happens. The objectives are
to:

-         craft more effective, durable and equitable solutions to the problems of
global change and sustainability;

-         increase the use of such knowledge by policy makers, practitioners, the
private sector, citizens and activists;

-         create a Global Knowledge Trust on social transformations;

-         engage and communicate effectively with the public.

This initiative is intended as a major contribution to the work of Future Earth
<http://www.futureearth.org/> .

Tenth International Conference on "Geographical Analysis,  Urban Modeling, Spatial Statistics" 
GEOG-AND-MOD 15

 http://oldwww.unibas.it/utenti/murgante/Geog_An_Mod_15/index.html


in conjunction with

The 2015 International Conference on Computational
Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2015)

June 22th - June 25th, 2015

University of Calgary, Banff, Canada
http://www.iccsa.org/

Description
During the past decades the main problem in geographical analysis was the lack of
spatial data availability. Nowadays the wide diffusion of electronic devices
containing geo-referenced information generates a great production of spatial data.
Volunteered geographic information activities (e.g. OpenStreetMap, Wikimapia),
public initiatives (e.g. Open data, Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals) and
private projects (e.g. Google Earth, Bing Maps, etc.) produced an overabundance of
spatial data, which, in many cases, does not help the efficiency of decision
processes. 
The increase of geographical data availability has not been fully coupled by an
increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. 
The inclusion of spatial simulation techniques in recent GIS software favoured the
diffusion of these methods, but in several cases led to the mechanism based on which
buttons have to pressed without having geography or processes in mind.
Spatial modelling, analytical techniques and geographical analyses are therefore
required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all
levels, with a clear identification of the geographical information needed and
reference scale to adopt.
Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments,
while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. 
This Conference aims at providing innovative and original contribution to the
ongoing debate on the above mentioned issues and at improving the process of
knowledge acquisition, by means of the development of new techniques and methods.

The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions on the
following (but not limited to) Conference Themes:
Geostatistics and spatial simulation;
Agent-based spatial modelling;
Cellular automata spatial modelling;
Spatial statistical models;
Space-temporal modelling;

the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that
suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this
decision will take place on March 2015.
