    For sustainametrics to gain a firm ground as an effective concept, the meaning of development shall be revisited first without depending on any statistical measurement. The word “development” originally meant the act of disclosure or opening a cover to disclose what is inside. Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) analyzed the significance of alētheuein, or “to bring the world out of its hidden and covered state and into ours,” and explicates that the alētheia under the condition of modern technology is dominated by a mode of revealing that is destructive to the earthly beings. Here, the danger inherent in the essence of technology, i.e., enframing [Ge-stell], renders human beings incapable of encountering the essence of beings as they are challenged and demanded to frame everything they encounter, including themselves, as mere variables. In contrast to Heidegger's thinking as releasement [Gelassenheit], Hannah Arendt's (1906–1975) conception of disclosure is closely tied to action. Following Heidegger's and Arendt's threads of thought, the authors conclude that any measures of development must be fundamentally grounded in disclosure through speech and action in the public realm. In this respect, the experts on the sustainametrics shall inspire fellow citizens to join the discourse by taking the risk of acting and speaking in public, disclosing who they are and what it is really meant for us. The course of development must ultimately be grounded in such an act of disclosure, only through which we may find something worth sustaining in our future development, and sustainametrics is no exception.

    Link Model, a participatory rural appraisal (PRA) programme for micro-infrastructure construction funding aid, has received much attention in Bangladesh over the last few decades. This study aims to contribute to the latest phase of the Link Model project, launched in July 2016 by the Bangladeshi government. To this end, the authors conducted a field survey in Kalihati Upazila, which involved 102 villagers and 153 local representatives. The authors used the survey to examine the efficacy of the programme and to identify the key factors that contribute to its success. Results obtained from the questionnaire survey showed that the programme had high degrees of satisfaction and penetration in the surveyed villages. Moreover, the degree of satisfaction was unaffected by gender, religion, income or education background, which is notably consistent with the ideals of PRA. Villagers who understood the policy better were more satisfied with the micro-infrastructures developed through the Link Model programme. The ratings of union development officers (UDO) strongly correlated with the number of micro-infrastructures. Therefore, this study concludes that the key success factors of Link Model are (a) the understanding of villagers on the programme for quality and (b) the capability of UDO for quantity.

    本研究は、アーレントの思想におけるテクノロジーの問題を多角的に研究していくことを目的としており、一年目の昨年は、研究代表者、研究分担者、研究協力者が参加するオンライン研究会を計3回、そして外部から研究者を招聘したシンポジウムを対面＆オンラインで一回開催することができた。 各人の個人研究という点では、代表者である木村はテクノロジーが不連続的に進化するとされるSociety5.0における大学教育を問い直す「学習者の主体性を育成するアクティブ・ラーニング2.0」を執筆、発表した。また、橋爪はアーレントの思想の哲学的な解釈である『アーレントの哲学――複数的な人間的生』を、戸谷は『未来倫理』、『スマートな悪：技術と暴力について』講談社という本研究にも関係する2冊の著書を刊行した。さらに、百木は「オンライン化で得たもの、失ったもの」を、河合は「アーレントの難民論とモビリティ――国家の定住性とネーションの移動性の不一致」という本研究に関わるテーマの論文を発表した。 また、国際的な研究成果も豊かであったといえる。渡名喜は論文"Catastrophe as a philosophical issue: Preface to Special Issue on “Philosophy of Catastrophe”を、奥井は共著論文"Revisiting the measure of development: A critique of sustainametrics. "を発表した。
