Tackling East Asia's Population Decline Issues with Local Coop's Subsystem for Loca... | Devcon SEA

[Music] [Music] thank you okay so uh I believe that the most important thing is to implement new idea and the mechanism into society if you ask me the way to start the is implementation in the real Society I will answer in rural area of Japan where the population is rapidly Decline and Japan's population peaked in 2018 and has continued to decline and it is fair to say that Japan is one of the country in the world with the most declining aging population and and if if it it will be become a serious issue not only Japan uh but for East Asia also Thailand is about to Center time of the population decline the map of Japan is colored by Red by local governments at that uh predict dat to likely Disappear by 20150 about 40% of the more than 1,700 basic local governments are in danger of Disappearing we have decided to focus our attention uh on Japan's local community and local government to develop and imp Implement a new community operating system local coup by Taking Back the loads previous left to government agency and putting them in our own hands we will build a foundation for the more flexible and forfeiting way of life numerous small community will be created and the people who move fre between them will solve problem and create a new value through the co-creation and the mutual assistance local C is a true mechanism for the founding the local Commons whereby local assets such as bacon houses and the best for us in a community can be very accessible and neutal as Commons while raising funded external resources the goal is optimally redistribute and invest Commons and common fund with the involvement of the former government or Council in governance now let's describe the specific case study the first case is yakos Village a type of depopulated area in Japan currently yakos Village has a population of less than 770 and it's facing difficulty is maintaining the infrastructure that is essential for daily life with a sense of Crisis that the village will be disappear if nothing is done we contacted by the villagers about 3 years ago and then offered this proposal let's let people around the world know what is going on makosi Village and get our friends so let me show the video this is the rural community of yamakoshi Japan in 2004 a massive earthquake hit this part of Japan many left and never came back to help deal with this pero has got some ideas in the digital space when you buy an nft it's almost like your passport Bea digital villager how many do you have now there's a, and half yes it's worth not underestimating the value of that Legacy and I hope web 3 technology can help bridge The Divide between young generations and historical legacies current the number of the digital Villages both domestic and international exes 1,700 more than double the number of the real Villages the second is about the relationship between the sustainably regenerated nature and sustainable local community we have focused an abundant of nature in Japan 70% of the country land is forested and the archipelago is surrounded by the Sea on the other hand as a result of the decline of the forestry and the other industry planted Forest have become uh desolate creatures are disappearing fish harder to catch and the risk of the landslides and other disaster is increasing it is important to guarantee economic feasibility while restoring the cyc of nature s makes it's possible to rise fund for the maintaining of Japan's local FL in the oceans by allowing preh holding R for the carbon credit to be created to be exchanged on the blockchain by using the fun by using the fund raise to maintain natural resources carbon credit can be created the project is also promoting the de democratization of the emission trading so that individual as well as companies both domestic and international can participate in the trading as our first site for creating the carbon credit we have a partnership with o on the other hand carbon credit are not only things generate for from the forest maintenance we working to create the biodiversity forest and the resource the nature that human have destroyed to create a watershed where diverse creatures and can return and the disaster are less likely to occur the forest is now is uh uh uh now in the position to generate carbon crate worth 3,000 30,000 sorry $330,000 US dollar per year this model we which can be def financed while carrying for the local nature is beginning to be deployed in the other regions local coup uh is a uh the practice is still in the process but we have have the discussed with a specific example we are forming the common fund with a study stream of the funds as resources through the merch Pro channel that common finds are matched using methods such as quadratic funding in Japan we are currently conducting demonstration in for four area and they plan to conduct demonstration outside of Japan in the near future local coup is a strategy to start by creating a subsystem of local government in Japan which is facing the rapid population Decline and it's an excellent opportunity to design the original radical self-government we intend to develop local Coupe as the main system to implement a plural world where people freely move between mple community and help each other creating the communities that are self sering but necessary for survival thank you thank you thank you it's very interesting cuz some of the community members in Taiwan actually uh get a resource to buy one of the mft so we're technically one of the villagers uh any questions uh from the audience anyone okay de oh I'm going to throw it oh oops very far nice uh thank you so much for the very brief uh you know overview I wondering if there's ways like for people outside of Japan who maybe don't have a Japanese passport uh to participate in these kind of schemes is that part of the conversation is there any way to design in digital Nomads to come in and experience even for short periods of time uh in Japan there's some kind of discussion about the digital NAD Visa ID but it's kind of separated so now we are uh just a uh for example nisho nft is just uh digital uh resident certificate nftd so you can uh participate the discussion and then you can participate the voting and also you can visit to the village and stay and talk with the local resident and people and participate the festival something like that and uh it's it's interesting uh there's so many elderly people over 80 990 years old but they all realize digital villagers so if you a digital villager and go to the yamak Village probably elderly the little Oban grandmother Grandpa and ask you where are you from are you dis wow welcome to yamakoshi that's happening they don't no they have no idea about blockchain ethereum but they realize the relationship between the local lient and you know outside of people digal villag that's wonderful I think thank you for your question thank you I'm sorry but we only
