Research Interests

Some articles related to Asian rice culture and its development have been well received among scholars not only in the field of Southeast Asian studies but also in agronomy and agricultural development studies. My present research interest in biological resource management under the rubric of human-environment interaction has begun to produce some related articles， such as "Who Owns the Forest?: The Boundary between Forest and Farmland at the Frontier of Land Reclamation，" "Living between the Land and the Sea，" and "Kemiri (Aleurites moluccana) and Forest Resource Management in Eastern Indonesia: An Eco-historical Perspective，" which have attracted attention from agronomists and human ecologists.

My research work is characterized by an effort to integrate various disciplines. Such efforts have appeared in the form of organizing interdisciplinary research project "Inter-regional comparative studies on frontier societies" through a Monbusho grant-in-aid and have produced related articles such as "Toward the Southeast Asian Frontier Hypothesis." In addition， these efforts are reflected in my practical participation in the editorial boards of a publication series and several academic journals， e.g.， Lecture Series: Man and Environment， Culture and Technology of Agriculture， and Ecosophia.

Current research topics:

(1) Agro-ecological studies on rice-based cropping systems in tropical Asia
(2) Peasants' migration and agricultural adaptation in frontier societies of Southeast Asia
(3) Biological resources and resource management in the Southeast Asian maritime world
(4) Oil-producing plant resources and transformation of land use
(5) Natural resource management and socio-economic transformation under the decentralization in Indonesia
