Osaka City Announces “What is Satoyama?” Seminar, Consultation Session, and Panel Exhibition
Osaka City is pleased to announce an upcoming series of events designed to deepen public understanding and engagement with the concept of “Satoyama.” The initiative, titled “「さとおやってなぁに？？」セミナー・相談会・パネル展を開催します” (What is Satoyama?? Seminar, Consultation Session, and Panel Exhibition), will be held on September 8, 2025, commencing at 3:00 PM.
This comprehensive program aims to shed light on the multifaceted nature of Satoyama, which refers to the mosaic landscapes found in areas surrounding human settlements, characterized by a harmonious coexistence between natural environments and human activities. These areas often include agricultural land, forests, grasslands, and wetlands, and play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, providing ecosystem services, and preserving cultural heritage.
The event will feature a dynamic “Seminar” portion, where experts in environmental science, rural planning, and local history will share their insights and research on the ecological, social, and economic significance of Satoyama. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the unique characteristics of Satoyama landscapes, their importance for biodiversity conservation, and the traditional practices that have shaped them over centuries.
Following the seminar, a “Consultation Session” will be held, offering a platform for participants to engage directly with the speakers and local stakeholders. This session will provide a valuable opportunity for individuals to ask questions, share their own experiences and perspectives on Satoyama, and discuss potential approaches to its preservation and sustainable management. It is an ideal setting for community members, researchers, and policymakers to exchange ideas and foster collaborative efforts.
Complementing these interactive sessions will be an informative “Panel Exhibition.” This exhibition will visually showcase the beauty and diversity of Satoyama environments, highlighting specific examples from within and beyond Osaka. Through compelling imagery, informative texts, and perhaps even multimedia presentations, the exhibition aims to offer a deeper appreciation for the aesthetic and ecological value of these precious landscapes. Visitors will be able to explore the intricate relationships between nature and human activity that define Satoyama, gaining a tangible understanding of its essence.
The “What is Satoyama??” Seminar, Consultation Session, and Panel Exhibition is an important initiative by Osaka City to promote awareness and encourage active participation in safeguarding these valuable natural and cultural resources. The event promises to be an enriching experience for all who are interested in the environment, rural landscapes, and the sustainable development of our communities.
Further details regarding the specific venue and registration procedures will be announced in due course. Osaka City looks forward to welcoming you to this insightful and engaging event.
