About
We have carried out our research aimed at the planning methods to design architecture, urban facilities and social system with considering human being.
Our research key word “ergonomics” means not only human behaviors but also humans’ evaluations and feelings, relationship between humans.
Our survey targets’ building types are various, such as residential area, house, community facility, office, public urban space.

The research topics we mainly cope currently is as below;

1. Housing Management and Distribution, Social Capital, and Housing Information
 These include research on the facilitation of housing management and distribution, the security of residents and supporting entities such as  building-related businesses, NPOs, and communities, as well as housing information that supports the selection and management of housing.

2. Suburban Revitalization, Child-rearing Living Environment, Resident Transition, and Choice of Residence
 These include research on the revitalization and reorganization of aging suburban residential areas, the formation of living environments suitable for
 new child-rearing generations due to generational changes, and research on changes in residents of suburban residential areas and factors affecting
 their choice of residents residential areas.

3. Low-density Urbanization, Compact City, Conurbation and Wider Region Planning
 These are studies on low-density areas, the factors that cause them, the conversion of cities to a scale suitable for the population and people's lives, and
 the coordination between multiple regions within the same urban area.
Only those who wish to conduct research related to the above topics are welcome.
*We often have people who bring topics that are completely unrelated to the themes, in which case we will not be able to accommodate them.
Even though you successfully obtain the master degree at Osaka University,
few of you can get a job at Japanese enterprises.
We hope you’ll plan to proceed the doctoral course to be a researcher in your mother country.
We welcome the offer of joint research and research collaboration related to the above themes.
The fields of architecture and urban planning sometimes should treat, one city as one unit of analysis, according to Paul Romer's perspective.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to seek common ground through diverse cases in issues common to the world, such as regional regeneration and strengthening sustainability and resilience.
In this regard, joint research projects are essential for future research perspectives for us who participate in Architecture and Urban Science.
