AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the regional character of human life together with the natural environment.
The Human Geography Lab comprehensively and systematically studies the regional characteristics of human activity on the Earth's surface, including its relationship with the natural environment.
It is one of the fields in the Environmental Studies Major of the College of Geoscience.
Each faculty member works on themes such as religious space, agriculture and rural areas, urban housing, and cities and transportation.
Main graduation research topics include changes in the proximity of urban clusters, the daily life of Muslims living in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the production and distribution structure of dried shiitake mushrooms grown on logs.
