We are engaging in research under Associate Professor Matsukawa and Assistant Professor Maruoka. Dr. Matsukawa is well informed about how to control of development in the outside of Urbanization Promotion Area. Dr. Maruoka specializes in planning for central area and suburban area. In our seminar, we are able to discuss each theme from variety of angles.
Research Content
In Japan, a local city such as Nagaoka has been developed in the suburban area and the rural area. Meanwhile, the local city's central area has declined. Therefore, we study how to vitalize central area and to control land use in suburban area. For instance, we examined the method of designating new City Planning Area in the local city which had never had an effective land use control system. There were the technical and practical problems, so we cooperated with the municipal officers and discussed those problems with them.

A Day in the Lab
There is not a core time in our laboratory because this is urban "planning" laboratory. We have need to plan and work each theme ourselves.
There are various tasks: reading and sorting related documents, analyzing land use by GIS software, and interview with inhabitants or municipal officers. Students make presentation of own study at weekly meeting. Moreover, we have the joint seminar with other universities every year.
Finally, our slogan is "Study hard and play hard.", so we have a number of events all year round.
