Course description and aims
Cultural heritage conservation is one of the important factors to develop sustainable built environment.
Conserving Cultural heritage, including historic buildings, makes a significant contribution to build sustainable local communities which constitute sustainable built environments. The reasons are as follows:

2) Appropriate tourism development using cultural heritage activates regional revitalization.
3) Maintaining lifestyles and local industries through conserving cultural heritage secures its regional cultural diversities.
In addition, respecting historic environments and using historic buildings with proper maintenance contributes to conserving the global environment.
At first, this course will focus on the fundamental ideas of the cultural heritage conservation. After that, through various case studies from Japan and abroad, we shall learn how the cultural heritage conservation contributes to build sustainable built environments. At the end of this course, students will understand how to focus on the issues in the specific areas and propose the solutions using the cultural heritage conservation methods.
