Profile My specialty is Disaster Mitigation and Environment Behavior Studies mainly based on urban and architectural planning approach. My research interests are about evacuation behavior in case of emergency, risk perception to natural disasters, and way-finding behavior in urban spaces. Our Urban Safety and Environment Laboratory is exploring the ideal way of design and management to realize a safe and comfortable urban environment from the viewpoint of consumers.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Disaster & human behavior

    From the perspective of disasters, we clarify the psychological and behavioral characteristics of human beings and the characteristics and issues of the physical and social environment of the city.

  2. (2) Urban disaster mitigation

    We consider measures to improve the safety and security of cities and buildings against events that threaten the safety of living (including not only disasters but also daily disasters and crimes).

  3. (3) Environment-Behavior Studies

    We clarify the relationship between cities or architecture and human psychology or behavior, and examine the ideal way of design and management to realize a comfortable living environment.
