The 90th International ARC Seminar will be held as a Webinar on Monday, August 23, from 18:00 JST

The program is as follows:

Title: Interpreting the Spatial-temporal Patterns in Geographical Data: From Crimes to COVID

Speaker: Dr Narushige SHIODE (King's College London, UK), Dr Shino SHIODE (Birkbeck College, University of London)

Synopsis:

We live in an era with abundance of data about most socio-economic activities and phenomena that happen around us. Yet extracting accurate and meaningful information out of the big data often presents a challenge. One of the key factor is that everything that happens around us is intrinsically affected by their location and timing, thus creating their own spatial-temporal distribution that need care in the interpretation of their patterns. In this talk, we will give a brief overview of the digital and spatial data in UK including attempts at digitalising analogue data into digital archive. We will then discuss the application of spatial-temporal methods to draw insights from these data. The talk will draw upon examples such as patterns of property crimes to epidemiological events including cholera and COVID, and discuss how they are helping the respective experts to make an informed decision.

Due to the extension of the state of emergency declared by Kyoto Prefecture, we regret to inform that this event has been changed to a non-audience event.

Please refer to the registration details below to apply for watching the event video online.

Those who have already applied for the on-site event will be contacted individually.

The Gion Festival in Kyoto, designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO, is one of the most important Japanese festivals.

A highlight of the festival is the magnificent parade of decorated floats known as the Yamahoko Junkō.

Amongst these, the Taka-yama float boasts a long history of participating in the parade that dates back to the 15^th century.

However, the float has been absent from the festival since 1826, when a great storm damaged its decorations. The situation was further worsened by a fire that destroyed most parts of the float in 1864.

In recent years, there has been a movement to revive the Taka-yama float - a long-cherished wish of the townspeople.

Finally, the Taka-yama float is due to return to the Gion Festival in July 2022 for the first time in 200 years.

Besides reporting on the progress of its reconstruction and showcasing its return in a virtual Yamohoko parade, this event also intends to expand the circle of Takayama supporters and raise the momentum for its long-anticipated return to the Gion Festival.

*The event will be held in Japanese.

Date: June 19 (Saturday), 2021 13:00 - 16:00 (entry from 12:00)

Organizer: The Asahi Shimbun

Co-organizers: Art Research Center (ARC), Ritsumeikan University, Taka-yama Preservation Association

Supported by: Kyoto City, NHK Kyoto Broadcasting Station, Gion Festival Yamahoko Association

Sponsored by: Hatena Co., Ltd
