GS activity report

This is a follow-up report on field research to explore social safety and security in Yangon, Myanmar.

On the fifth day, we visited a police station in Yangon.Myanmar's police force is currently learning from other countries and reforming as a police force in a democratic nation.We talked about the initiative and the crime situation in the city.

On the seventh day, we took a bus to a suburban city and compared it with the big city of Yangon.Motorcycles are prohibited in Yangon's urban areas, while motorcycles are often used in the suburbs, and traffic conditions are different.Also, on the way, I passed through an area with idyllic rural scenery, and I was fascinated by the beautiful and somewhat nostalgic scenery.

On the ninth day, we visited Yangon University.I made a presentation on what I noticed and what I wondered from my studies and observations so far, and had a discussion with Yangon University students.After that, we strolled around the campus together and had a great time interacting with each other.

On the final day, we visited the Fire Department Headquarters and firefighting-related facilities, and heard about firefighting efforts in Myanmar.

We have visited many facilities and institutions in Myanmar, where we have been warmly welcomed and learned many things.Based on what I learned, I was able to learn a lot about Myanmar, which I didn't know much about, by doing city surveys and discussing with local people.All the participating students were grateful to the people who took care of them, and it made them want to come to Myanmar again.I experienced a very fulfilling global study.The results will be summarized and announced in April.
