*Female, 20-29 years old. In the Yamanote Line Green Map exhibition
room.
Unlike the plain texts, I thought Icons are very easy to understand
- They show what is going on with a glance. Also, the Green Map's
perspective is very interesting and motivated me to take a little
walk around my neighborhood.
*Female, 40-49 years old. While browsing through the Green Map
Kids exhibition.
I thought this is really interesting. When I saw this exhibition,
it reminded me of the timeS when I go hiking - I always mark the spots
on a map that fascinate me. Unlike the mountain regions where I go
hiking, this Green Map/ is based on the urban area so it is possible
to observe each local community's history and heritage. Also, it is
very interesting to see the map from the kid's perspective.
*Male, 20-29 years old. In the Yamanote Line Green Map exhibition
room.
I realized that there are so many spots that I usually do not notice,
ALthough they are in my neighborhood. I thought this project did great
job to let the people become aware of important spots that usually
go unnoticed.
*Mother and the son (10-15 years old.) In the Green Map Kids exhibition
room.
Kid: It was very interesting to find out what Green Map and Icons
are.
--"Do you want to try it?"
Kid: Yes!
To the mother: --"How did you feel about this exhibition? - from
a mother's perspective?"
Mother: It is very easy to understand and I thought it is great that
the map can be made / many ways, so the map making and fieldwork can
be customized for each kid's interest.
*Mother of a family. After browsing the whole exhibition.
I never realized that Tokyo had SO many faces. It would be great
if there is a project like this as part of a student's schoolwork
because through the project, I think it gives an opportunity to refresh
our view of the neighborhood, and find new faces of the town. It is
a great idea for summer workshopS for elementary school students.
*A couple (20-29 years old.) In the interactive section.
Male: I was surprised to find out that a project like this exists.
--"Do you have any spots that can be added to the map?"
Male: "I don't know much about Yamanote Line neighborhood. If
the project is not limited to the Yamanote Line, and expanded to my
neighborhood, it will be great!"
