The Eighth Workshop
on Population and Sustainable Development (2001)
The Ninth Workshop
on Population and Sustainable Development (2002)
With the collaboration of the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), AUICK hosted "The Eighth Workshop on
Population and Sustainable Development (2001)" from May 14 to May 25,
2001 and "The Ninth Workshop on Population and Sustainable Development
(2002)" from May 13 to May 24, 2002. Eight (2001) and six (2002) senior
administrators participated in the each workshop. The purpose of the
workshops was to provide participants with a chance to exchange
experiences, information and practical knowledge, and also to introduce
the policies of the City of Kobe as reference for the solution to
problems faced by the participating cities.
Aging, population issues, the relationship
between central and local governments, and financial affairs were among
the wide range of topics addressed during the workshop lectures and
opinion exchange sessions. Participants also made observational visits
to Kobe sewage and waste treatment plants, welfare facilities, ward
offices and the Port of Kobe.
Participants expressed particularly strong
interest in the following policies of Kobe: (1) the center-based public
health management system, (2) measures promoting independence and
social participation for the physically disabled, and (3) welfare
measures for the elderly. At the end of the program participants
expressed their desire to implement similar policies in their own
cities. Finally, through participant presentations and opinion exchange
on current situations involving the different cities, participants were
able to deepen their understanding of each other's unique situation.
