都市における空間情報 -街と人の科学-

研究室概要

The Sekimoto Laboratory is a laboratory that handles urban information and was established in April 2013 in the Human and Social Studies Department of the Institute of Industrial Science . After that, in December 2020, I became the main director of the Spatial Information Science Research Center , and since April 2021 I have also been in charge of the director of the university-wide Digital Space and Society Collaboration Research Institute .

The challenges faced by cities that have been changing dynamically in recent years have become more complex and diverse, and cannot be easily solved with a certain amount of power or money alone. Under such circumstances, it is the power of information that brings together and connects the diverse strengths and thoughts of various people. On the other hand, if information technology is used well, it is becoming possible for any person to make a difference in society little by little. I would like to work on urban information technology centered on people, which forms the basis of society.
