Sustainable human settlement harmonized with ecosystem under limitation of resources

这个项目是与东京大学的一个研究小组“全球变化研究小组”合作进行的。Hanaki指出，在人类活动强调水资源和用水平衡的环境下，全球变暖会对水资源产生重大影响，并评价了全球变暖对水和湖和天龙江河流流量和水质的影响。松本研究了中国农业的可持续发展道路，以避免沙漠化和水土流失，并提出了解决方案。Ohta考察了受人类住区影响的森林经营，指出了人类活动与森林保护之间的妥协之路。Tamai研究了人类住区对城市气候的影响，表明地形条件会增强或减弱人类住区对城市气候的影响。石谷提出了人类住区所需能源综合规划的标准，以可持续性指数表示。Yamada考察了光伏电池作为可再生能源可持续供应的适用性，并指出成本高是需要解决的问题。Suzuki利用全球尺度的碳流模型评估了人类住区通过农业和森林变化对碳收支的影响。

This project was conducted in collaboration with a research group "Global Change Research Group" in the University of Tokyo. Hanaki showed that the global warming can give significant impact on water resources where human activity stresses balance between water resources and water use, and evaluated its impact on stream flow and water quality in Suwa Lake and Tenryu River. Matsumoto examined sustainable way of agriculture in China to avoid dissertification and soil erosion and proposed the solution. Ohta examined the management of forest which receives the influence of human settlement, and showed the way of compromization between human activity and forest conservation. Tamai studied on the impact of human settlement on urban climate, and showed that topographical condition strengthen or weaken the impact of human settlement. Ishitani proposed criteria, which is expressed as sustainability index, of comprehensive planning of energy necessary for human settlement. Yamada examined the applicability of photovolteic cell as sustainable supply of renewable energy, and pointed out that the high cost is problem to be solved. Suzuki evaluated the impact of human settlement on carbon budget through agriculture and forest change by using a global scale carbon flow model.
