The lab explores the development of cities and rural areas by making use of regional resources such as people, culture, and nature.

The Regional Resource Planning Lab studies how to achieve balanced development of urban and rural areas by making use of "regional resources," such as the people, culture, history, and nature of a place. Based on field surveys, the lab uses spatial information technologies such as GIS and remote sensing, and combines qualitative and quantitative analysis to address social issues in regions. Regional planning, the foundation of the research, is an interdisciplinary field that is not confined to the humanities or the sciences, and the lab also puts effort into returning its results to the field sites. The lab is part of the School and Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, and students join the lab from graduate school.
