（Term：2010 - 2011）
- Joint Seminars in 2010-2011 Fiscal Year
- Outline of Joint Research
- A project “Urbanization and Sustainable Development of Hanoi” aims to clarify
human behavior and society of urban Hanoi together with studies on natural
terrain, environment, subsurface structure in the Red River delta in Vietnam.
In order to carry out the project, the area-informatics approach will be
introduced based on the spatiotemporal analyses adding historical research
on transformations from Hanoi’s traditional city form to its present "modern
ages" city formation since the 19th century. In particular, this IPCR
projectaims to examine the aspect of "Water" from the view point
of sustainable development in Hanoi.
- Purpose of Joint Research
-
The project has two aims; (1) to clarify the urbanization and transformation
of Hanoi in three periods such as before 1873, being under French colonial,
and after French colonial periods for the process of transition and transformation
in local communities associated with village location, boundary, and facilities.
(2) It aims to analyze an aspect of human and social behavior integrating
features on the ground, the surface, and the subsurface structures based
on studies on natural terrain and the environment, phenomenon, and underground
structures, Red River delta with an analysis on geological features on
boring investigations of the hydrological environment, and Red River embankment
construction.
In past urban studies, most of studies have individually and independently discussed the physical environment and its accumulation, human behavior, phenomena, and so on. Therefore, this project hopes to contribute in providing integrated clarification for urban studies by including the natural environment, natural terrain, social environment on a historical axis (time axis) to a spatial aspect. It is hoped that this will lead to the creation of new paradigm in area studies integrating historical space, micro-topography changes, subsurface structures, and urban foundations.
The research results will be submitted to Southeast Asian Studies (SEAS)
within this fiscal year.
