Research summary
Evaluation and Design of Sustainable Resource and Waste Management System Development of a socioeconomic system that cyclically uses limited earth resources at an appropriate level is an important task to achieve a sustainable society, given an increasing and increasingly wealthy global population. Our laboratory intends to conduct research that contributes to the development of such a socioeconomic system from the viewpoint of a systems analysis approach. Our work will answer the following questions confronting Japan and the world: - What is sustainable resource and waste management? How should progress to a sustainable resource and waste management be measured and assessed? - What is the status of material cycles in our society? What will it be in the future? What technological systems of resource and waste management should be developed? - What are people’s attitudes related to sustainable resource and waste management? What social systems such as regulations and incentives should be developed for the formation of sustainable resource and waste management?
