In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of goats for weed control in public green spaces from the perspective of reducing the environmental impact, recycling resources, and creating new landscapes, in addition to compensating for shrinking budgets and workforces of municipalities. However, due to the lack of systematic information on the challenges of organizations working on such projects, the key to successful goat weeding remains unexplored. Therefore, a trial experiment of goat weeding for organizations with no experience was conducted at five facilities, and exploratory interviews were conducted with 15 employees. The narratives obtained were presented as a time-series diagram of their experiences using the Trajectory Equifinality Modeling (TEM) approach. The factors that give rise to changes in awareness were used to identify problems in introducing goat weeding in public green spaces managed by organizations and effective measures to deal with them. The results suggest that providing training before introduction, building consensus within the organization, clarifying the division of roles in rearing work, providing feedback to rearing staff on evaluations by users of the facility and staff and establishing a goat weeding support system are important.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of goats for the control and removal of weeds in open spaces from the perspective of reducing the environmental impact, recycling resources, and creating new landscapes, in addition to compensating for shrinking budgets and workforces of municipalities. However, because of the lack of systematic information on the challenges often faced by inexperienced goat farmers in using goats as weed control agents, the keys to the successful utilization of goats for the task remain unmapped. Therefore, we conducted explorative interviews with fifteen goat keepers on Awaji Island and in the Kansai area of Japan who had started goat weed control without prior experience. From the obtained narratives, the process for introducing goats as weed control agents was organized in chronological order. During the investigation, we found that six goat keepers could not meet their original objectives, while nine overcame their difficulties. Throughout the investigation, the issues that arose in the process and the responses of the keepers were recorded and categorized according to their causes. Our findings suggest the necessary points to be considered for utilizing goats for weed control in the future, depending on the stage of introduction.

ガーデニングの普及とともに淡路島のように自然に恵まれた地域でも、外国から輸入された園芸種が多用されるようになってきた。真に自然と共生する社会を実現していくためには、何でもいいから花や緑を植栽すればいいのではなく、その地域に自生する植物の有効利用を考える視点が重要である。そこで島民へのアンケートを通じて、自生植物等の利用に関する意識を調査したところ、園芸種の多用は、その植物の好き嫌いやコストの問題ではなく、むしろ増殖しやすいかどうか、が大きな理由であることがわかった。また、自生植物に関する認識も高く、特に、ユリ、スイセンの利用に対する意識が高いことがわかった。これらの自生種は今後園芸利用の対象として有望だが、住民が容易に育成、増殖できるような技術開発が重要であることも把握された。

Recently the tourism for the purpose of exchange and experience has gained attention, However this tourism is not so popular. It is because of the negative hospitality and the shortage of tour information of tour hosts, the feeling of comparatively high hotel charges, and a tour program that does not fit a tourist's needs, The aim of this study is to clarify the difference the consciousness of tourist and tour hosts to the tour program and to suggest the way this tourism should be in the future. The method of study is by interview, questionnaire, and monitor tour. As the result, the difference between the consciousness of tourist and tour hosts became clear. In order to improve it, We suggest the necessity of the system to coordinate between tourist and tour hosts.
