AboutAbout the lab
Protecting green spaces the way one nurtures nature
The Green Space Conservation Lab studies the conservation and restoration of the natural environment, focusing on green spaces in urban fringe areas and in farming and mountain villages.
Through the conservation and management carried out by people, green space environments support public-benefit functions such as biodiversity, scenic beauty, the production of agricultural and forestry products, and disaster prevention.
The lab's research goal is to put into practice in society conservation planning and design that benefit the relationship between people and nature, in collaboration with citizens, government, and experts.
As a higher-level goal, the lab aims to educate people who can sense the beauty of the environment and communicate it.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies green spaces in urban fringe areas and in farming and mountain villages, aiming to clarify the mechanisms of conservation and to implement conservation design in society. Current research covers surveys of satoyama woodlands using point cloud data, urban green spaces such as publicly accessible open spaces, agricultural volunteering after disasters, and homestead forests in Bangladesh.
*Illustrative imagePoint cloud surveys of satoyama woodlands and green spaces at cultural heritage sites
The lab conducts research that supports the planning and management of satoyama woodlands and green spaces at cultural heritage sites, using 3D point cloud data obtained with UAV-LiDAR. It began surveying and analyzing satoyama woodlands in FY2022.
*Illustrative imageQuality and quantity of urban green spaces such as publicly accessible open spaces
The lab studies the planning and management needed to secure the quality and quantity of greenery in urban green spaces such as publicly accessible open spaces, as well as challenges in the related systems. It also investigates the management and growth of trees in publicly accessible open spaces in Fukuoka City.
*Illustrative imageAgricultural volunteering after disasters
This research systematizes the activities of agricultural volunteers that promote the recovery and reconstruction of agriculture and farming villages damaged by disasters. The lab also works on farmland restoration through mutual aid during disasters.
*Illustrative imageHomestead forests in Bangladesh
The lab is attempting a typology of homestead forests in Bangladesh, classifying them into types by species composition. Green space conservation in Bangladesh is one of the lab's main research themes.
