"Peace and Prosperity in East Asia: Japan's Role in the 21st Century"
Prof. Naoyuki Agawa (2002/06/27 up) << Click HERE
| This lecture, after reviewing the current economic and security situations in East Asia, will focus on Japan's role in promoting peace and security in the region. More specifically, the lecture propounds upon concrete ways in which Japan may be able to contribute to the regional prosperity and security.
The lecture will conclude by envisioning Japan as a pivotal member of the emerging confederation of countries along the East Asian sea coast sharing interests and values in the 21st century.

"Geo-informatics and Digital Asia"
Prof. Hiromichi Fukui (2002/07/08 up) << Click HERE
| In order to deal with environmental issues from global scale to regional and local levels, a correct grasp of the history and the current status of the earth are essential, and we must share a common recognition of the issues.
The first step to build a sustainable society is to monitor, identify, store the data of phenomena on the earth, then process and interpret the raw data, turn them into understandable information to display, publish and distribute. Therefore we need “the Digital Earth (DE)" that is a virtual representation of our planet on the internet that enables a person to explore and interact with the vast amounts of natural and cultural information gathered about the earth. Much of this information refers to some specific location on the earth, therefore it is referred to as geospatial information which is mainly provide by RS and GIS.
The applications of DE will be possible with broad in ecosystems studies. For example, in the case of preserving biodiversity, ecological researchers will be able to model the impact on biodiversity in spatial and temporal relations of different regional development plans by collecting information, such as terrain, soil type, rainfall, vegetation and the biological information infrastructure on the DE. For the effective use of DE in ecological studies, integration of geospatial information system and ecological model should be discussed. Prototype of DE and some use case for ecological studies are presented.
Specific DE activities in our interest are intended to move sub-DE project that is Digital Asia in the present. The concept of Digital Asia is an initiative to provide people and community with easy access to geo-spatial information over the internet by establishing a scheme to integrate and share the GIS and RS data among all the countries of Asia by using Web-based GIS. The Strategic planning for the implementation of Digital Asia is also discussed.

"Works and Humanitarian Activities"
Prof. Shigeru Ban (2002/07/18 up) << Click HERE
| Architectural work is not simply a structural form for man to admire as piece of art. It often mirrors tradition and the happiness that abides within. It must be something which protects and gives both physical and spiritual comfort to anyone who dwells in them. It must also be flexible as well as cost effective. It must also be in harmony with man's environment.
This course will introduce many forms of architectural works in close relation with the universal theme of humanitarianism.

"The Rise of the Network Society: Geo-Informatics as a foundation for empowerment"
Prof. Hiroyuki Yoshida (2002/07/19 up) << Click HERE
| The way in which "knowledge" works in our contemporary societies is neither simple nor controllable. "Knowledge" provides networks of consensus which function as power. This principle tends to have a critical effect in environments where human communities face Nature. Effects of "environmental knowledge" in the form of decisions imposed on environments, effects of power in the domain of forces of Nature in other words, cannot help being governed by probability. Inhabitants of local environments live or die incidentally under foreign "environmental knowledge." They are on the borderline between power and forces. The matter of life and death for local communities is, however, only material to keep playing the game of science and politics for research and decision making communities. The same process repeats, and the rhizome of "environmental knowledge" expands. The structure reproduces itself through the process. A potential breakthrough for this scientific / humanitarian cannibalism could be found in utilisation of IT, namely, Internet and geo-informatics. This session provides a perspective to conceive strategies to raise an objection to foreign "knowledge."
