Current Research Interests
- Ecological management techniques for rural environments
I have been studying ecological management techniques for rural environments,
which in applied ecology, is called adaptive management. I discuss the
guidelines of habitat planning and management for coexistence between man
and wildlife. My field sites include mountain streams, rice fields, and
agricultural channels. These environments are important not only for us
but also for wildlife such as fish and amphibians, and the purpose of this
research is to think about how we should conserve their rural environments.
To observe their habits and hear their voices, I undertake strenuous field
work - in order to know their life, it may be necessary to investigate
all day and night, sitting in the same place as long as 8 hours - which
is full of surprises and discoveries.

- Research Topic:Infectious diseases spreading across international borders in Southeast
Asia: elucidation of area specific features based on multifactorial analysis
- Term:2007 - 2012
- Sponsor:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi), Scientific Research（S）
- Leader:Mitsuaki Nishibuchi
- Outline:We will carry out the study to clarify the rout of emerging enteric infections
that spread across international borders and its chronology in the areas
of Southeast Asia where the infection is prevalent or the pathogens are
distributed, or in related areas. In addition, we will study the transmission
of malaria between Thailand and Myanmar and between Indonesia and Malaysia
that is mediated by the migration of the labor and other people. Furthermore,
we will try to elucidate important factors that affect emergence and spread
of the above infectious diseases including natural environments, life environments,
cultural factors, social factors, economic factors, and political factors;
and influence of emergence and spread of the infectious diseases on people’s
life and society. We will then summarize unique features of Southeast Asia.
