【文章轉自中山新聞】

國立中山大學「社會創新創業與永續治理課程」獲選教育部青年發展署「國際永續及社會創新人才培育試辦計畫」，課程師生前往日本見學，以全球永續趨勢創新與臺灣國家政策為主軸，提出四大轉型、三大主題進行交流。師生也前往東京都周邊城市，與市長、議長、職員、市民團體領袖等對談，激盪永續創新與深化臺日互動。學生在見學後將規劃實際社會實踐方案，參賽Young飛全球行動計畫提案，展現國際永續實踐力。

The "Social Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Governance Course" of National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) has been selected for the "Pilot Program for Cultivating International Sustainable and Social Innovation Talent" by the Youth Development Administration (YDA) of the Ministry of Education (MOE). Faculty and students traveled to Japan to study sustainable global trends innovation and Taiwan's national policies, focusing on four major transformations and three primary themes. They visited cities around Tokyo and engaged in discussions with mayors, council speakers, staff, and leaders of civic groups, fostering sustainable innovation and deepening Taiwan-Japan interactions. After returning, students will design practical social action plans and participate in the Young Fly Global Action Program proposal competition, showcasing their international sustainable practices.

此課程由國立中山大學社會創新研究所支持、USR「邁向永續轉型：城市共事館的全球在地實踐計畫」共同協助。教學授課的西灣學院助理教授伊藤佳代與吳亦昕帶領10名跨領域學生前往日本，與台日聯盟伙伴學校千葉大學、神奈川大學學生共同到實踐場域參訪見學、交流及小組報告。除與頂尖大學學生交流，也與川崎市役所、流山市役所、流山市議會等當地市政府、永續治理公司、社會實踐團體以產官學三方不同面向，認識在地的城市發展與問題。本次學生以臺灣國家政策四大轉型：產業轉型、能源轉型、生活轉型、公正轉型為核心，針對城市建設與永續性、氣候變遷與循環經濟、公正轉型與公民參與等三大主題進行交流。

This course is supported by the Institute of Social Innovation at NSYSU and the USR project, "Transitions toward Sustainability: The Glocalization Practice of the City as a Commuseum." Led by Si Wan College Assistant Professors Kayo Ito and Yi-Shin Wu, ten interdisciplinary students traveled to Japan. They collaborated with partner universities Chiba University and Kanagawa University, visiting practice sites, participating in exchanges, and presenting group reports. In addition to interacting with top university students, the group also met with local governments such as Kawasaki City Hall, Nagareyama City Hall and City Council, as well as companies focusing on sustainable governance and social practice organizations, exploring city development challenges from diverse perspectives. The course centered on Taiwan's national policy's four major Transitions—Industrial Transition, Energy Transition, Lifestyle Transition, and Social Transition—and explored three main themes: urban development and sustainability, climate change and circular economy, and just transition with civic participation.

中山師生前往千葉大學實踐場域長柄町，與千葉大學師生互動，千葉大學國際教養學部教授鈴木雅之、助理教授田島翔太多次來臺交流，此行更加深彼此未來對話的可能。神奈川大學國際日本學部崔瑛副教授和學生針對東京灣橫濱港新都市規劃區進行案例報告，探討舊港區與未來城市規劃，以及經濟發展下的利弊和社會問題，並與中山學生提出的高雄地方創生案例對話，了解兩個大型百年港灣城市下的不同與轉型。師生也參訪神奈川大學周邊的黃金町地區經營中心、實踐場域真鶴町，和在地的實踐者、各國藝術家交流，更認識現今多元的城市轉型想法。

The NSYSU delegation visited Chiba University's practice site in Nagara Town, engaging with faculty and students. Professor Masayuki Suzuki and Assistant Professor Shota Tajima from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Chiba University, who have visited Taiwan multiple times, deepened prospects for future dialogue. Associate Professor Choi Young from the Cross-Cultural and Japanese Studies at Kanagawa University and her students presented a case study on the Port of Yokohama at Tokyo Bay's new urban planning area, examining the advantages and challenges of transforming old port areas into modern cityscapes amid economic development. They also discussed the regional revitalization case of Kaohsiung presented by NSYSU students, comparing two century-old port cities and their respective transformations. NSYSU faculty and students further visited the Koganecho Town area management center and the practice site in Manazuru Town surrounding Kanagawa University, exchanging ideas with local practitioners and international artists to understand diverse approaches to urban transition.

本次見學鏈結川崎市、流山市、流山市立大黑之森中等學校、社會慈業委員會一匙會、慶應義塾大學國際中心等單位。其中，同在東京灣的川崎市今年迎來設市百年，和高雄有同樣的大型港口城市歷史發展，過去也以石化工業及重工業發展為主，土地和人民承擔了東京經濟發展下的汙染和犧牲。在意識到市民健康嚴重受影響後，政府與企業、市民三方共同協力，川崎市市長福田紀彦期許能配合在地事業經營，促進當地能源生產及循環利用。其中與RESONAC川崎廠、川崎King Skyfront東急REI飯店合作的「氫發電」，成為世界首間「氫氣飯店」，獨特的再生能源，將原應汙染社會之廢棄塑膠轉生再利用，川崎市的公共政策城市轉型也在三方合作的成果成功實踐，改善環境汙染及市民健康。

The visit also connected with entities such as Kawasaki City, Nagareyama City, Nagareyama Municipal Oguronomori Junior High School, the hitosaji social charity association, and Keio University International Center. Kawasaki City, also located in Tokyo Bay, marking its 100th anniversary this year, shares a history of development as a major port city like Kaohsiung. Previously reliant on petrochemical and heavy industries, Kawasaki experienced significant environmental and public health issues due to Tokyo's economic expansion. In response, the government, businesses, and citizens jointly collaborated to address these issues. Kawasaki City Mayor Norihiko Fukuda expressed aspirations for local industries to promote energy production and recycling. Initiatives such as "hydrogen power generation" in collaboration with RESONAC Kawasaki Plant and Kawasaki King Skyfront Tokyu REI Hotel have transformed waste plastics into reusable resources, making the hotel the world's first "hydrogen hotel." These public policy and urban transition efforts have successfully improved environmental pollution and public health through three-side cooperation.

中山大學社會創新研究所碩一生許礽浩表示，過去自己的思考想法較為保守，此次和日本學生對談、了解日本地方政府、企業與公民力量的共同創造，對於未來的自己和臺灣有更多元的實踐可能。伊藤佳代則認為，能夠促成中山與日本的持續交流，讓中山學生獲得更多國際參與機會非常難能可貴，希望學生有更多的社會創新想像與未來實踐力，回饋臺灣社會。國立中山大學也期待能藉由社會實踐計畫培育更多全球在地的人才，成為永續種子成就自我、創新實踐。

Jeng-Hao Hsu, a first-year master's student at NSYSU's Institute of Social Innovation, noted that his previously conservative views broadened after discussions with Japanese students and learning about the joint efforts of local governments, companies, and citizens in Japan. There are more diverse practical possibilities for himself and Taiwan in the future. Kayo Ito emphasized the value of continued exchange between NSYSU and Japan, offering students unique opportunities for international participation. She hopes students develop broader imaginations for social innovation and practical capabilities to contribute to Taiwanese society. NSYSU aims to cultivate global-local talent through social practice projects, empowering students to become seeds of sustainability, achieving personal growth, and innovating in practice.

中山師生於流山市市議會與坂卷儀一議長、近藤美保副議長等人員交流，以產官學三方的不同面向認識在地的城市發展與問題。

Faculty and students from NSYSU engaged in exchanges with Sakamaki Giichi, Speaker of the Nagareyama City Council, Deputy Speaker Miho Kondoh, and other members to explore local urban development and issues from the perspectives of industry, government, and academia.
