Porject and Workshop

Originating of Area Informatics-with a Focus on Southeast Asia
2005〜2009
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.
