研究内容要約
Research Summary
国立市において水循環基本計画を策定するにあたり、私たちは市民自らが多くの市民に働きかけて現況調査を行い、実行性のある計画にしたいと考えた。また幅広い調査活動を通じて「水」に関心をもつ市民を増やすことも目的とした。そこで国立市の地理的特性を生かし、湧き水・用水調査、井戸調査、水に関する昔の聞き取り調査の3つの調査を行った。水質や水生生物の有無、変遷を調べたり、市が防災用に指定した井戸を中心に水質や掘った年代、利用状況などを調べた。また地域の古老に昔の暮らしを聞き取る中では、多摩川に近く井戸や川など天然の水に頼っていた時代の苦労と工夫の生活が浮かび上がってきた。子どもたちの参加できる調査として、学校のプール生き物調査(ヤゴ救出作戦)は毎年各小学校の授業として取り組み、多摩川をもっと知ろうという試みで親子参加の多摩川探検隊を実施した。水が大切な財産であることを再度確認し、まちづくりへの提案につなげた。

When Kunitachi City was formulating its Basic Plan on Water Circulation, we local residents approached many other local citizens to conduct surveys on the current situation, with a view to ensuring that the plan was practicable. Moreover, through our wide-ranging survey activities, we aimed to increase the interest of local citizens with regard to water. Accordingly, making use of the geographical characteristics of Kunitachi City, we conducted three surveys, about springs and water supplies, wells, and an interview-style survey about water in the past. We studied the water quality, the presence or absence of aquatic life, and changes therein, as well as studying the water quality of wells designated by the city for use in disaster prevention, the year in which those wells were excavated, and their usage situation. Moreover, when interviewing local elders about lifestyles in the past, information emerged about the difficulties of an age when those living near the Tama River were dependent on natural water sources such as wells and the river, and ways that they devised to overcome those difficulties. We incorporated a survey in which children could participate into the school pool organism survey (dragonfly larva rescue operation) conducted by local elementary schools each year, and organized a Tama River Expedition for parents and children, in order for them to get to know the Tama River better. As a result, people developed a renewed awareness of how important an asset water is, and this led to proposals for local development initiatives.
