We are especially employing area studies \/ political and economic perspectives to broadly re-examine these issues in Asia, such as agriculture, resource industries, environmental policies, community-based development, disaster management, etc. The 21st century is believed to be the Asian century. The future of our world thus largely rests on how Asia commits to sustainability. Based on domestic, foreign, and international research from Asia and other regions, we wish to examine changes in human\u2013nature relationships and the balance between development and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/~envpol\/eng\/\">Link to group homepage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"el_table_fix\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas09_kankyo\/UBUKATA Fumikazu.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Prof. UBUKATA Fumikazu<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">E-mail: ubukat-f <span style=\"color: #0000ff\">[at]<\/span> okayama-u.ac.jp<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Development studies\/Environmental<br \/>\nstudies\/Policy\/Asia\/Area studies\/Social sciences and Humanities (SSH)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><a class=\"el_linkBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/soran.cc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/html\/54921202ac5d402f74506e4da22f6611_en.html\">Directory of Researchers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h5>Infosphere and local frontier society in Southeast Asia: Cases in environmental and disaster management<\/h5>\n<div style=\"width: 276px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas09_kankyo\/img_UBUKATA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas09_kankyo\/img_UBUKATA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"203\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Dayak farmer shows the location of his oilpalm plantation (Sarawak, Malaysia, 2018)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In Southeast Asia, many frontier societies have been increasingly integrated with urban centers and global cities through commodities and information, and this trend has further strengthened through the development of ICTs in the name of \u201csustainable development\u201d.
