Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi)
"Development of Area Informatics: With Emphasis on Southeast Asia"
Project Leader: SHIBAYAMA, Mamoru
- Field Research List
- Seminars/Symposia
- Publications
- Outline
- As can be seen from the utilization of Geographical Information System
(GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) in area studies, informatics is already being
actively incorporated into advanced research. However, the case studies,
experience, and research results currently available are still insufficient.
Informatics can provide area studies with new approaches and knowledge,
but this will depend on the further development of the field through its
application to area studies. Since this development is important for both
area studies and informatics, a new project, based on a JSPS Grands-in-Aid
of Scientific Research (Category S), is to create the new discipline of
Area Informatics.
- Expected Production of Research
- The following outcomes are expected from this research.
- 1. Developing and nurturing Area Informatics based on a systematization
of this new discipline.
- 2. New researches for building the digital archives and museum for cultural
heritage in Southeast Asia will be carried out and implemented, and, 3D
visualization and more effective application of satellite images can be
undertaken.
- 3. Collaboration and cooperation on geoinformatics with scholars and researchers
in developing countries
- 4. An improvement of information infrastructure like the video conferences,
and resource sharing of research materials.
