We are conducting research on environmental design based on landscape ecology.
After conducting research on Areas of studyal disaster prevention design that makes use of community clusters, we are conducting empirical research toward the social implementation of green infrastructure.
Another major theme is redesigning the agricultural experience.
In addition, we are conducting empirical research on Areas of studyal revitalization measures using rogaining, research on cultural landscapes approached from a food perspective, and research on spatial and temporal evaluation of tree funerals.
