A Study on Changes in Satoyama Landscapes in Kunisaki, Japan
SANO YAE
The Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita, Japan is a site of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems. However, it faces the problem of an aging and declining population. A decrease in the working-age population is leading to deterioration of its traditional rural landscape, known as Satoyama. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in Kunisaki’s society and land use. Based on government population projections, 57.9% of Kunisaki’s population in its 702 agricultural communities will be over 65 years old by 2030. To examine how land use changed in the Morota District, we analyzed aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 2016, and found a large decrease in crop land and a steady increase in forested areas. The increase in forested areas are caused by both plantation and transition from abandoned crop land. Although the proportional area of crop land has consistently declined since 1947, this decrease has accelerated since 2006., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2015/04 -2018/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nagoya Keizai University

Multi-agent systems for disease control and prevention

地域社会を対象に感染症対策の実験を行うと莫大な時間・費用を要するばかりではなく、失敗は倫理的に許されないという大きな制限が発生する。そのため、この代替手段として、コンピュータの中に地域社会を再現して、そのなかで感染症対策実験を行うシミュレータの開発を目的とした。本研究におけるシミュレータは、地域社会における感染症流行を忠実に再現するレベルまでに達しておらず、シミュレータ開発は継続中である。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2007 -2008, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
