Profile

** I am not currently accepting new students **

My research addresses these challenges by focusing on high-resilience cultural landscapes and land-use systems that coexist with nature, particularly in rural areas.

Approximately 40% of the world’s land surface is classified as drylands, home to nearly two billion people. Land degradation in these regions exacerbates disasters such as droughts, floods, and dust storms, while also contributing to food insecurity, poverty, disease, and social conflict. I conduct field-based research in rural areas of northern China, one of the most water-stressed regions globally, contributing to the fields of regional geography and environmental history.

Through international and interdisciplinary collaboration, I also carry out research in native-inhabited regions of Alaska (USA), plantation development areas in Indonesia, fishing villages and informal settlements in coastal Jakarta, and hidden Christian villages in southwestern Japan. These regions face multiple and overlapping risks associated with climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic vulnerability.

My research integrates comprehensive fieldwork, land-use surveys, and spatial statistical analysis using GIS to examine ecosystem conservation and sustainable use, disaster risk reduction, and pathways toward societies in which human livelihoods are harmonized with their environments. I collaborate with experts in agricultural science, nursing, archaeology, paleoclimatology, political ecology, and cultural ecology. In addition to academic research, I have authored a high school geography textbook in Japan and have participated in policy discussions at the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the UN Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR).

This study aims to clarify the attitudes of each member state on disaster risk reduction (DRR), and the issues that need to be addressed in the international arena of DRR, to move forward with the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR). To this end, we focused on the last three United Nations meetings of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR) after the agreement on the SFDRR and analyzed the frequency of publication of official statements by each member state. In addition, the status of these official statements was analyzed in terms of the actual geographical distribution of disaster risk. We clarified that (1) the GPDRR is not necessarily aware of the situation and opinions of all member states; (2) the trends between the frequency of official statement publication and the actual amount of risk are not always closely related; (3) the member states in the Asian and Pacific Ocean region were more active in presenting official statements than those of other continents; in other words, the attitudes of Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and some African member states, which also have high disaster risks, were shared less frequently in the international arena; (4) some least-developed member states are actively making official statements and expressing their intentions despite the limited human and financial resources. The results of this study would be helpful for member states that have not yet made official statements in the past GPDRR to advance their official statement publication and situations in the international arena.

<p>According to the assistance of grains, financial subsidy to residents and conversion of laboring structure caused by 'Grain-for-Green Project' (GGP) in the Chinese Loess Plateau, eating habit of residents was changed to wheat and rice which are difficult to be cultivated in the region. This study investigates the production areas of wheat and rice to Small Towns (Xiaochengzhen) which are known as hub of population, trading and manufacturing in Chinese rural areas. This study detects three zonings of grain production areas. The result actual food supply and pointed out the problems of valuation methods of GGP without taking these influences into account. It is implied that causes of the result are geographical proximity, national distribution networks and diversification of tastes.</p>

The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristic ideas of local bioresource utilization through the analysis of formative processes and factors for the development of shelterbelt plantations on Izu-Oshima Island. Shelterbelt plantations in Japan have rich diversity and are a good index for detecting long-standing customs of the people due to the meteorology, ecosystem, and socioeconomic factors of each locality. Grid-shaped shelterbelts, which mainly consist of 50-m-long Camellia japonica queues, are observed on Izu-Oshima Island. The two-row C. japonica shelterbelt suggests the economic significance of this plant for residents. Another shelterbelt planted with alternate Prunus lannesiana and C. japonica trees indicates the resource-utilization literacy of the older generation. A C. japonica shelterbelt established around 2000 reflects the influence of traditional practices on current livelihoods. The close relationship between C. japonica and people's livelihoods on Izu-Oshima Island is described.

The World BOSAI Forum 2023 (WBF2023), held in March 2023 in Sendai, Japan, was successfully convened as a global platform for practical discussion of disaster risk reduction issues in a free and dynamic manner, in contrast to the United Nations, where national interests collide, or academic conferences where experts gather. In particular, we aimed to disseminate the knowledge and lessons learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (GEJET) to the world and share the knowledge and lessons with Japan. We would like to take this opportunity again to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who participated in the sessions, exhibitions, posters, and flash talk presentations, as well as to the many locals who attended the event. According to the World BOSAI Forum [1], the WBF2023 was attended by 5,412 people over 3 days, including 1,335 pre-registrants from 40 countries and regions, on-site registrants, and EXPO participants. It included 30 oral sessions, 7 conferences, 50 poster sessions, 33 flash talk presentations, and 33 exhibition booths, where tangible solutions for disaster risk reduction were discussed through dialogue among international organizations, governments, academia, the private sector, NGOs, and citizens. At the forum, Tohoku University hosted 4 sessions and co-hosted 10 sessions, which introduced the role of Tohoku University and the International Research Institute of Disaster Science as well as their contributions to the processes of recovery and reconstruction from the 2011 GEJET. Finally, the forum came up with recommendations for a Midterm Review of the Implementation of the Sendai Framework 2015–2030 (MTR SF). In May 2023, the High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the MTR SF was held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York [2]. The guest editors are pleased to publish this special issue in the Journal of Disaster Research, which comprises six articles sharing the research advancements presented at the WBF2023. We hope that this special issue on the WBF2023 will contribute to the literature on disaster science and further advance disaster risk reduction.

More details Close

The concept of "leaving no one behind," emphasized in the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is also essential for disaster risk reduction. In the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011, the older persons and persons with disabilities faced multiple barriers and burdens, highlighting the significant gaps of disaster preparations and responses. In addition, from many areas affected by disasters and conflicts such as the Kumamoto earthquake, various challenges faced by marginalized populations, including older persons, persons with disabilities, children and youth, pregnant women, the LGBTQ+ community, travelers, and migrants, due to the barriers related to institutions, environments, and attitudes, are reported. Even in Japan, one of the leaders in global disaster risk reduction, measures are still in progress. Because human beings are diverse with different strengths and needs, disaster risk reduction must be inclusive of all people. Approximately six months before adopting SDGs, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction and made “inclusive-disaster risk reduction” a priority for the international community. We invite panelists with diverse backgrounds from the disaster risk reduction frontlines, to discuss our future actions to build a society, where all people can protect their lives, livelihoods, well-being, and access necessary services during and after humanitarian crises.
