Current Research Interests
- Changes in agricultural technologies andthe development of village societies
inSoutheast and South Asia
- People’s subjective participation in ruraldevelopment projects by village
communities, and local government learnedthrough Practical Area Studies
or Actionin Asia and Japan
Since April, 2001, I have mainly been involved in the following two projects:
the JICA Joint Study on Participatory Rural Development Project (PRDP)
and the JSPS Study on Agricultural and Rural Development among the Minorities
of Bangladesh and Myanmar (SARD-BM). The first project is a continuation
of two previous JICA joint studies on rural development in Bangladesh.
In these JICA study projects, I tried to develop alternative research methods
that are suitable for rural development and also applicable to area studies.
One of thesemethods foregrounds the standpoint and consciousness of persons
living in the study area. I call this study Practical Area Studies or Action
Research Area Studies. The second project is also based on my previous
individual studies on locally existing technologies and rural societies
in the deltaic regions of Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Northeast India including
Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The study area-between Chittagong Hill Tracts
in Bangladesh, Irrawaddy in Myanmar, and Northeast India - was re-opened
in the late 1990s to foreign scholars, and I am now in the process of collecting
primary data on that region mainly through the JSPS grant projects (KAKEN).
Inaddition, since 1999 I have conducted fieldwork on rural development
and agricultural technologies in rural Japan, especially in Kyoto Prefecture,
and alsoin the hilly regions of Yunnan in China and in Laos in order to
formulate alternative options for agricultura ldevelopment for rural Japan.
