As of 2022, the Takase River is undergoing renovation that includes the removal of trees in a marginalized neighborhood of Kyoto. To assess the impact of this construction and provide recommendations for a community project, we observed the wildlife and vegetation of the canal. We also conducted interviews and surveys to gather the opinions and voices of locals. These were then used to develop a cohesive story of the community along the Takase canal. Results indicate future analysis and research of these social-environmental dynamics is required to start development of a community center activity
