Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies reconstruction-oriented community planning and landscape in tsunami-affected areas.

AboutAbout the lab
Studying reconstruction and landscape in tsunami-affected areas.
The Regional Planning and Spatial Design Strategy Lab studies reconstruction-oriented community planning in tsunami-affected areas and the design of civil infrastructure.
The lab also works on landscape perception mechanisms, meaning how people perceive landscapes, and on applying them to community planning.
Landscape theory and urban planning theory are also listed among its research topics.
In the Faculty of Engineering, the lab is introduced as a lab of the Urban System Planning Course in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
