The Graduate School shares the same campus as Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Landscape Planning &amp; Horticulture Academy (ALPHA), of which a former specialized course was reestablished as the Graduate School. One of the driving forces behind the establishment of ALPHA was the fact that landscaping with flowers and greenery played an important role in reconstructing urban communities devastated by the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and many local community residents voluntarily participated in such reconstruction activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Number of students<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Graduate School accepts up to 20 students per year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The faculty of the Graduate School consists of 15 full-time faculty members, 16 part-time lecturers, and 6 instructors mainly in charge of practical training.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Full-time faculty members<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #dcf5e9\">Department<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #dcf5e9\">Laboratory<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #dcf5e9\">Position<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #dcf5e9\">Name<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"4\">Green Culture &amp; Life<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Ornamental Horticulture<\/td>\n<td>Lecturer<\/td>\n<td>Keiko HINOUE<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lecturer<\/td>\n<td>Sayaka MITA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Horticultural Therapy<\/td>\n<td>Associate Professor<\/td>\n<td>Fumie TAZAKI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lecturer<\/td>\n<td>Takuya KENMOCHI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"4\">Landscape Plant Resources<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Garden Trees<\/td>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Michiro FUJIHARA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Takashi OYABU<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Planting Design<\/td>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Satoshi YAMAMOTO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Associate Professor<\/td>\n<td>Yoshihiro SAWADA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"3\">Landscape Design<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Landscape Design<\/td>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Yue SHEN<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Associate Professor<\/td>\n<td>Naoki TAKEDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Landscape Engineering<\/td>\n<td>Associate Professor<\/td>\n<td>Tetsuya IWASAKI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"4\">Landscape Management<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Landscape Planning<\/td>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Nobuyuki MINO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Associate Professor<\/td>\n<td>Hiroshi TAKEYAMA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Community Landscaping with Flowers and Greenery<\/td>\n<td>Professor<\/td>\n<td>Shinya TSUKADA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lecturer<\/td>\n<td>Nami OGURA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" rowspan=\"2\">Specially Appointed Professor<\/td>\n<td>Nahoko FURUTA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Katsunobu SHIRAKAWA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" rowspan=\"6\">Lecturer<\/td>\n<td>Akiko ODA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Masanori NISHIZUMI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fuuka FUJITA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Junichi KANAHARA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Asami MITSUNARI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Harumi MORI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Student dorm<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All students of the Graduate School are required to live in a student dorm on the campus.
