Setagaya eco-up expeditionary party 2003-Summer edition-"Investigation
of summer temperature and a creature" which leader Tokyo environment
learning played a key role, and was active was held on August 23.
The Okamoto Park private house garden which is near to Tama River
removes and reconstructs a private house in Setagaya-ku that we
had in the Edo era and saves it, and life of a farmhouse of those
days is reproduced.
After a captain said hello, 38 participants were divided into two
groups including parent and child and a captain of residence in
a ward and started exploration investigation. By creature investigation,
they looked for fish in a river with a net in Maruko River of a
park entrance (rokugouyousui). Some motsugo (kuchiboso) and diligent
corbiculas were caught in them other than many crawfishes and water
striders. But, in this summer when a day of low temperature led
to, a cycle of a creature changed. Surprisingly the cicada which
emerged at the night of summer usually emerges this summer in morning.
We thought that it was a climate change as this year let the habits
of an insect change heartily.
It was the sky where it was fine like summer on that day after a
long absence. The temperature of 9:30 a.m. was 30 degrees Celsius.
I examined temperature at once in a private house main building.
Then the temperature was 28 degrees Celsius, but the health was
felt a little more coolly because wind went through the room. The
water of a well in the shade was around 15 degrees Celsius, but
it was 40 degrees Celsius when it tried to measure it over asphalt.
After all, like "sun and shade", difference of temperature by environment
of circumference is bigger than imagination.
In the shade of a tree in a garden, a small drama about a heat island phenomenon by the staff of a child was played.Each one reduces exhaust heat of air conditioners, and give the exhaust heat to a factory more, Getting sun light generation in a house, It becomes effective energy saving as precaution to increase green, They appealed to a participant for these.
The last, we ate the watermelon which we cooled in well water together
in the shade of a tree, and pleasant summer edition was finished
while cooling heat.
