Draft agenda
This agenda sets the basic details
for the Barn House fieldwork spring session, and defines minimal work and outcomes.
The fieldwork team will also recommend the improvement of the agenda for the forthcoming,
summer session.
All
observations and data will be multiscale – focusing (whenever appropriate) at
interactive scales of Taiki-cho, Meme Meadows, the Barn House paddock and the
Barn House itself (both spaces for humans and spaces for horses, and interactions
between them). A special emphasis will be at inside-outside, and spaces for
humans - spaces for horses interface and interactions.
Detailed composition,
agenda, work-plan, individual contributions and lengths of stay for each
fieldwork team will be decided in advance.
The
team will organize and conduct structured video and audio-recordings.
1. spring
session:
-
at Hokkaido, general fieldwork schedule includes:
orientation
survey of an
overall condition of the Barn House; identification of issues and problems;
result: a

establishment of the Barn House visitors’ book of
impressions, with space for:
·
general impressions and comments
·
contact details (e-mail),
if willing to contribute to research
·
brief questionnaire for
collection of researchable data across the scales and issues
the Barn House visitors’ book will be tested with locals and Harvard students/staff
result:
the Barn House visitors’ book of
impression
quantitative data collection and measurements:
seasonal
climatis specificities
inside/outside temperature, humidity
energy
consumption, by resources
comfort levels
compost-related measurements
pasture/food for horses evaluation
other (identified in collaboration with Meme Meadows staff)

log-book, documentation (the Barn House Catalogue) + weekly summaries individually posted on the blog
observations and qualitative data
collection:
individual
co+labo fieldwork journals (structured
observations and
recordings across the four scales)
journals should
be done in an agreed format, with defined core contents,
ensuring minimal researchable response
selected parts of the journals should be posted on the blog
identification
of, and interviews and discussions with key Meme Meadows
staff (structured and unstructured interviews, recorded)
observations
will include:
bioclimatic
observations – plants, lifestyles etc. in relation to climatic
condition, awareness
of other sensorial experiences – smells, sounds, tactile impressions
