Society and Humanity | |
 |
Prof. Shuichi KITOH (Environmental Ethics) | |
| One of most essential purposes of environmental ethics studies is to pursue to examine our "relations" to various environments, especially natural environments. Through our practical and ideal research approach, which is focused to subsistence activities including children's play, and is practically closed to "fields", we investigate the ideas of culture, technology, social design, and arrangement in our relationship to nature. These studies will be bring together to establish the systematic construction of trans-disciplinary and universal environmental ethics, which is in relations-based approach. Most basic and important points behind this approach is to fulfill not only <environmental sustainability>, but also <social justice> and <ontological richness>. | ||
|
Assoc. Prof. Ryo SHIMIZU (Urban and Rural Sociology, Environmental Sociology) | |
This course will specialize in regional and community studies, especially from the aspect of researches into community plannning and environmental issues. I have carried out researches into some cases: a community planning of revival from Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake damage, a city planning with resident participation, some architectural disputes in the city, a fishermen's struugle against reclamation project in Isahaya Bay area, some green activities by citizens, a local residents' campaign against noise of Kyushu-Shinkansen, etc. My method of research is focusing on some actual social problem, taking a survey (fieldwork) of it, and analyzing it from the viewpoint of sociology. I have a aim at educating students to feel interest in a actual social problem, recognize it from the standpoint of the field, and do their best to find a solution. |

Prof. Seiichiro TSUJI (History of Environment) | |
| An assignment is to solve the history of interaction between human and environments based on depicting the macro- and micro-ecosystem in which the subject is human society. For elucidation, we integrate several methods in ecology, paleoecology, paleontology, stratigraphy and chronology, and develop new methods. Specific examples are to depict the ecosystem chages occurred with a huge volcanic activity as an sudden catastrophic event and those by agriculture and life movement by human activities. In education, it is important point that a mastery of foundations and applications of the field reserch and experiments, and an exploitation of analytic method for archaeological materials. | ||
|
Assoc. Prof. Masahiro FUKUDA (Archaeology of Environment/ Folklore of Environment) | |
| In order to deal with the historical process of human adaptation in Northeast Asia, we aim to compare the long-term environmental changes of the Holocene, and the historical dynamics of adaptation strategies and external contacts of so-called “North hunter-fisher-gatherers” in the Northern Circum Japan Sea Area (NCJSA). The main fieldwork is archaeological investigation, taking a paleo-ecological and ethnological approach. Our research is being carried out based on original data obtained at international sites. Our current research themes are as follows: (1) Study the correlation between cultural dynamics and macro/micro environmental change in the Neolithic NCJSA. Making the analysis based on the results of investigations of Neolithic/Jomon sites in Lower Amur Basin, Primorye, and Tohoku district of Japan (2) Illustrating the dynamic history of Neolithic to Modern hunter-fisher-gatherers in the Circum Mamiya Strait Area and interaction between the continent and Hokkaido. Research fields are East Siberia, the Circum Okhotsk Sea Area, and Hokkaido. |

Spatial Planning and Design | |
|
Prof. Atsushi DEGUCHI (Urban Design, Spatial Planning) | |
Based on the fields of urban design and planning, we explore the spatial design and planning for urban sustainability in scales from street level to region level. Following the needs for low carbon society, we focus on the researches on compact city design and area management. As an international approach, we promote the field surveys on foreign cities based on the previous research achievements, and identify the “Asian Urbanism”by inquiring the unique sustainable forms and styles of Asian cities. As a pragmatic approach, we promote the design and management projects in collaboration with the local communities in the Urban Design Center Kashiwanoha (UDCK). |
||
|
Assoc. Prof. Tsuyoshi SEIKE (Building construction Method for Environment) | |
| Our research activities mainly focus on two themes. First is on the environmental consideration of architecture, a major urban component, through it's development process: construction, maintenance, improvement, rehabilitation, conservation and destruction. Second is on the decision-making process on how to construct architecture which can contribute to the environment. Both of these themes are related with the discussion including the use of the environmental information system in spatial planning and policy. For example, we examine the exterior wall system, which is deeply connected with the outside environment, through out it's design process and the construction system on the view point of building construction. Also we discuss the information system for the technology of building construction which can contribute to the environment. | ||
|
Prof. Hidetoshi OHNO (Planning and Design for Living Environments) | |
Our field of study is a theory of design for the physical environments. As our reserch is based on the architecure, we always question the significance and possibility of the architecture in the city. Focusing on the public edge of the buildings as the method of our study, we have illuminated the morophological and semantical features of public edge of the contemporary Japanese urban buildings. We are interested in the suburbia as well which charactize 20th century city form. We initiate the practical design research for the urban form with high susutainability from now on and we shall propose our design project to the future society. |
||
|
Assoc. Prof. Tetsuya SAKUMA (Environmental Acoustics, Architectural Acoustics) | |
| Our research fields are on methods of prediction and evaluation, techniques of design and control for living environments, particularly sound environment in buildings and in urban space. Aiming at balanced planning for sound environment, we are tackling problems on architectural acoustics, noise/vibration, communication, soundscape, etc. from various aspects, such as physical, psychological, physiological, social and cultural. We are also pursuing how future living environments and life styles should be regarding comfortability and health, through integrated evaluation of living environments and investigation into residents' consciousness and behavior. | ||
|
Water and Material Cycle | |
|
Prof. Takashi MINO (Environmental Microbiology, Wastewater Engineering, Sustainability Education) | |
| I have two key words which represent the principal approaches of my research group, "optimization of environmental technology management" and "environmental management based on microbiological view points". The age of end-of-pipe technology is over. The recent key environmental problem is "how to develop a environmentally sound society". Optimization of combination and usage of environmental tecnologies are essential to reduce pollutant load to the environment and this aspect is studied in the first approach. In the latter approach, application of natural powers of microorganisms to improve the environment is investigated. Microorganisms in themselves contribute to purification of the environment. If we think as if we were the microorganisms, the application of their magical power should be realized by us. | ||
|
Assoc. Prof. Hiroyasu SATOH (Sewage Treatment Technologies and Its Related Microbial Ecology) | |
| We are studying on sewerage and wastewater treatment. What we are the most interested in is the microbiological ecosystem in wastewater treatment plants. Microorganisms contribute a lot to remove pollutants in wastewater. Thus, having deeper knowledge on them will contribute to the improvement of wastewater treatment technologies. The work is also scientifically interesting. Major part of their world and lives are hidden to us. Who are they? What are their roles? Why they can/cannot be their? Our study on sewage and microorganisms will also give you a new point of view on human society. | ||
|
Prof. Jun SASAKI (Coastal Environment Engineering) | |
| Toward a better management of lakes, reservoirs, estuarine and coastal waters as well as coastal zone, we have been involved in a variety of estuarine and coastal environmental studies, including 1) prediction, prevention and reduction of tsunami, storm surge and flood disasters, 2) identification of mechanisms and restoration of water and sediment pollution, and 3) sustainable development in coastal areas of developing countries balanced against disaster prevention and environmental conservation. Our studies are mainly based on numerical modeling and application, field observation, questionnaire survey and GIS based knowledge integration. Through collaborative works with research institutes, governments and private sectors in the world, we hope that our research outcomes will contribute to resolving practical problems and scientific findings. | ||
|
Lect. Yukio KOIBUCHI (Coastal Environment Engineering) | |
| Red tides, blue tides, and hypoxia in estuarine and coastal waters are major problems caused by excess eutrophication. Reclamation of the foreshore has also caused degradation of coastal ecosystems. Moreover, coastal areas are considered to be of great importance in global warming. We are focusing on these topics and considering both sustainable development and environmental rehabilitation through (1) Monitoring, (2) GIS, (3) Numerical prediction, (4) Environmental restoration technologies, and (5) Evaluation of coastal environments, which will contribute to coastal zone management. | ||
|
Spatial Information Science | |
|
Prof. Yukio SADAHIRO (Urban Planning, Housing Policy, Spatial Information Analysis) | |
| My major interest lies in the analysis of human-environment system by using spatial information science. A big question is “How do natural. social, cultural, linguistic, and economic environments determine human life?” Topography seems quite influential on city form in Japan, while US cities are designed almost independent of topography. Our shopping behavior depends on the distribution of retail stores and traffic network, while the former depends on population distribution. Analysis of the human-environment system permits us to find a better relationship between environments and human beings. Along with analysis, I am also interested in decision-support systems based on spatial information science. Examples include an interactive decision-support system for school relocation and a route planning system for sightseeing of foreign visitors. | ||
|
Prof. Ryosuke SHIBASAKI (Sensing, Simulation and Services) | |
| Monitoring space, environment of cities and regions, how people, vehicles are moving there. Knowing the present, accumulating the past and foreseeing the future are what we want to realize. Sharing the ultimate "dynamic map" will contribute to making our space and environment safer, more efficient and sustainable. In addition, embedding memories there may help make space more impressive and enjoyable. While developing "eyes of god", information on Me have to be managed by myself and used for myself. Approaching society, environment and people based on spatio-temporal information; this is an attitude underlying our research activities. | ||
|
Prof. Kaoru SEZAKI (Location-based Service, Mobile Ad-hoc Network) | |
| Our laboratory aims at constructing an architecture for flexible context aware services, where numerous sensors and computers are provide in the buildings, business district or greater areas, and where intent of users are proactively recognized and their activities are properly and comfortably supported. The related research field includes the techniques for the identification of physical location, flexible and efficient dilvery of information to human being using the environmental information aquired by sensors and positioning devices and the innovation of flexible and user friendly multi modal interfaces. Though not mandatory, those who would like to join our laboratory should have the basic knowledge of information and communication engineering. | ||
|
Prof. Takaaki TAKAHASHI (Urban and Regional Ecoomics) | |
I study, from the viewpoint of spatial economics, what forces determine the locations of economic activities. Current topics include: (1) research on the provision of public services by regional governments - discusses the economic implications of the strategic competition among regional governments who provide public goods or services. (2) research on the interdependence between economic geography and transportation - discusses the effects of the location of economic activities upon the mode of transportation adopted in an economy. (3) research on the trade-off between manufacturing activities and transportation - discusses the allocation of resources between the two activities, in particular, its mechanism and implications on the social welfare. |

Assoc. Prof. Yuzo MARUYAMA (Statistics) | |
| A major goal of our research is to build useful spatio-temporal statistical models for various problems in theoretical and practical views. As one of concrete problems, we are interested in estimating population rates of mortality in each pixel of mesh data simultaneously. Even if the sample size is large as a whole, the sample size in each pixel is very small, which makes each naive estimator (a sample rate) unstable. This is known as "small area estimation problem". To ameliorate it we would like to combine additional information from adjacent pixels based on Bayesian statistical theory and eventually propose a stable good estimator. | ||
|
Prof. Masatoshi ARIKAWA (Spatial Information Base) | |
| "Spatial Information Bases" are researched for integrating and managing multimedia information, such as photos, videos and human's movements, by means of "spatial keys," that is, locations on the earth. To explore a new style visual communication for all modern spatial information beyond paper-map based geographic information systems, two operations are particularly focused. One is intelligent "selection," including generalization and visualization, for a large scale and wide variety of spatial information. The other is flexible "composition" for information with various characteristics, such as scale, projection, dimension, locality, distance, past, present, future, virtuality and reality. We suggest that those who would like to join our laboratory have the basic knowledge of programming languages. | ||
|
Assoc. Prof. Shin'ichi KONOMI (Spatial Information Base) | |
| Advances in computing and sensing technologies create an opportunity to design a city-scale Ubiquitous Computing (or Urban Computing) environment that can increase the quality of life in a city. From a broad, human-centric perspective, my ongoing research aims at contributing to the body of interdisciplinary knowledge that provides a grounding for designing and evaluating Urban Computing systems, and develops smart systems and models that embed the process of data collection, context recognition, information filtering, sensemaking, and knowledge fostering into urban spaces so as to support decision making, learning, and collaboration of citizens. This research is being carried out through user study and iterative system development. |
