We will engage in empirical and quantitative research on the following research themes: advanced mobility technologies and society, such as automated driving and drones; new social infrastructure development using IoT, such as smart cities, smart mobility, and smart tourism; and integrated mobility services, such as MaaS.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to solving problems in sports and improving performance by conducting research. Approaches for improving performance will be examined from various perspectives such as teaching methods, mental aspects, and conditioning. We will also consider improving the value of sports from a policy perspective such as sports policy.

Under the theme of "Data Science and Society," this workshop aims to deepen students' understanding of evidence-based problem solving by using data science methods to address social issues of interest to them.

Natural, Human, and Social Science Research on Disasters.

Each seminar consists of 3 parts: book/journal reading, teaching, and groupwork.

Natural, Human, and Social Science Research on Disasters.

This seminar concentrates on landscape studies. In Japan, landscape sometimes means only visible features of an area of land, but invisible factors, such as historical background, natural and social environment, and so on, are critical. Students can approach everything related to the landscape. This seminar's keywords are below; ecology, city and rural planning, garden and park, urban green space, civil vitalization, land-use change, environmental education, reconstruction in the disaster field, disaster prevention, and land use plan in a river basin. All students have their own themes. Some students hold a presentation in each class. If you require to join a project, please see the syllabus of the seminar "Green Infrastructure." In this seminar, we will also emphasize discussion of the presentations. In addition, this seminar requires students to read a lot of articles and books.

This seminar concentrates on ecosystem-based infrastructure. Students attend a project team and read some books and articles about ecosystem-based infrastructure. The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines green infrastructure as a cost-effective, resilient approach to managing wet weather impacts that provide many community benefits. Also, it states that while single-purpose gray stormwater infrastructure―conventional piped drainage and water treatment systems―is designed to move urban stormwater away from the built environment, green infrastructure reduces and treats stormwater at its source while delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits. On the other hand, Natural England defines it as a strategically planned and delivered network comprising the broadest range of high-quality green spaces and other environmental features. It should be designed and managed as a multifunctional resource capable of delivering those ecological services and quality of life benefits required by the communities it serves and needed to underpin sustainability. In short, green infrastructure is basic social systems and facilities supplied by natural resources or approaches, making the best use of them. Science Council of Japan announced a proposal about ecosystem-based infrastructure in September 2014. It means green infrastructure based on ecosystem. In the seminar, students see what green infrastructure is through books or articles and practice through projects. There are some special talks.

The purpose of this seminar is to analyze the human behavior and performance from the field of ergonomics and sports psychology by using various experimental methods from psychological and physiological aspects.

The accelerating change from providing products and services based on mass production and mass consumption to an era that requires an individualized response. In other words, the products and services of the next generation must be in line with the decisions of individuals. In this seminar, we will study the processes and strategies necessary for the creation and operation of businesses that will become the foundation of a new society and the ideal form of entrepreneurs who will implement these processes and strategies, using a variety of cases (examples).

Entrepreneurship is often referred to as "entrepreneurship" these days, but the term "entrepreneur" refers to an "entrepreneur," and the term "ship" refers not to a spirit but to a "way of being. This has been a universal concept since Schumpeter defined creative destruction (innovation) as the essence of capitalism in his book "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy" published in 1942, and called entrepreneurship the ideal form of the entrepreneur who carries out such innovation.

The purpose of this study group is to develop a keen and rich sensitivity to discriminate between right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, which is essential for entrepreneurship, a prerequisite for future leaders, tolerance to listen to diverse values that differ from one's own, and the ability to take action and produce results by overcoming all kinds of resistance and opposition.

In the world of data science, it requires the ability to grasp the process of data generation accurately and at the same time imagine its depths, as well as a high sense of ethics. All kinds of data such as weather, finance, transportation, logistics, and various sensors in our daily lives are connected to human activities. Each individual's "brain and body state." However, because those who handle the data do not have the proper medical knowledge and accurate understanding of the background of the data generation or the destination of the data, i.e., the human "brain and body state," the solutions derived are not directly related to the human activity itself, especially in the field of health care. In particular, in health care, almost nothing has been reflected in clinical practice.
The research group consists of a wide variety of projects, including the development of pioneering diagnostic and treatment support technologies, the design of healthcare systems that integrate into daily life, the creation of financial theories and insurance systems for the next generation, the prototyping of applications for daily use, and the detection of abnormalities through the distribution of information among systems. In addition, they will be directly involved in technology and system development from mathematical models, data analysis and correct interpretation, data structure design, business model planning, and advanced intellectual property strategy. This research is directly related to human life, so we must take it seriously.
Through this project, I would like people to realize that every aspect of our daily lives is tied to the "state" of the human body, which is a generic term for changes at the cellular level. This life constitutes the family, society, and country. In other words, I want them to develop the ability to look at the world from a bird's eye view, imagine and design systems from multiple dimensions, discuss what the next-generation healthcare system should be, and think about a sustainable eco-system that transcends generations. We will discuss what the next generation healthcare system should be and aim to acquire the ability to create a sustainable eco-system and create a cyclical business model. You will surely acquire a foundation of approach and thinking that will be useful for your future.
This seminar will be conducted in conjunction with the practical course "Entrepreneurship and Management," so it is recommended that students take both courses as a set.

"Theories from the South: Societies and Cultures of the Spanish-Speaking World"

This research seminar focuses on the learning process of the Spanish language, and the cultures and societies of the Spanish-Speaking World that language learning enables, seeking to understand the realities and the theories that emerge from concrete local contexts. Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as Southern Europe, has been sites of attempts to build a better society, and global social theory has been hugely influenced by the theories and thoughts that arose from these regions. The seminar is based on area studies and sociolinguistics, and is conducted through reading seminars and student research presentations. Students can choose and pursue their individual research topics, as well as participate in research initiatives in collaboration with the Department of Spanish and Spanish-Speaking Societies.

The seminar is held on Fridays 4th period, and students are encouraged to attend the reading seminar on academic Spanish Fridays 3rd period. At the end of the semester, we will have a half-day presentation session of students' research.
