| Themes | Our research focuses on how people live in modern cities, and explores theories and methodologies that can be applied to urban space design and urban planning. We emphasize the importance of thinking from the "field," and through research methods such as fieldwork and action research, we actively collaborate and cooperate with the people concerned (residents and specialists) and researchers in adjacent fields to develop a variety of research and practical activities. Specifically, we are conducting surveys and analyses of the long-term recovery process of homes, livelihoods, and communities in natural disaster-stricken areas in Japan and overseas, as well as practical research on urban development and community support activities in Asian countries, including Kyoto. We are also developing theories to integrate and share the findings obtained in the field, based on social and spatial theories. |
