Tourism is a key driver of economic growth in Thailand, but it also generates significant environmental and socio-economic pressures, particularly in coastal destinations such as Krabi. Increasing plastic pollution, resource stress, and socio-economic inequalities highlight the limitations of conventional tourism models and the need for more...
2026 Summer Symposium of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)
Typhoon impacts in the Philippines exhibit strong neighbourhood-scale heterogeneity driven by interactions among hazard intensity, exposure, and vulnerability, yet most operational assessments remain hazard-centric. This study presents a grid-based machine-learning framework for neighbourhood-scale typhoon risk mapping integrating geophysical...
東南アジア地域における急速な都市化と消費拡大に伴い、プラスチック廃棄物の発生量が急増し、プラスチック汚染が特に深刻な課題となっている。ASEAN諸国では、使い捨てプラスチックの禁止、拡大生産者責任(EPR)制度、普及啓発キャンペーンなど、さまざまな対策が進められている。しかし、これらの対策だけでは、根強く定着した消費行動を変えるのは難しい。 利用制限や普及啓発だけで十分な効果が得られないような課題に対し、行動科学は有効な補完的アプローチとなる。Behaviour-Centred (行動に関する理解に基づく、行動に焦点を当てた)アプローチを取り入れることで、単なる情報提供や経済的インセンティブに頼るのではなく、「意図と行動のギャップ」を埋め、持続可能な行動変容を促すことができる。...

Sustainable use of biodiversity in the Sundarbans- the world’s largest mangrove forest shared between Bangladesh and India has become increasingly complex due to rising climatic and livelihood pressures. There has been a general agreement that traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is key to supporting ecosystem services (ES) and community...
Plastic pollution is a growing challenge in Southeast Asia, where rapid urbanisation and rising consumption are driving sharp increases in plastic waste. While traditional regulations such as plastic bans and information campaigns are important, they often fail to shift deeply ingrained consumption and waste management habits on their own. This new...
本事業は、兵庫県から委託を受けて実施したもので、水素ステーション整備事業の実現に向けて、「FC商用車の普及に向けた取組(以下第1部)」と「淡路島におけるグリーン水素利活用の地産地消の取組(以下第2部)」について検討を行った。 第1部では、重点地域の採択後、「燃料電池商用車普及拡大アクションプラン」に沿って、尼崎市・神戸市・姫路市においてFC商用車の導入需要の積み上げ、大規模水素STの整備に向けた具体的な検討結果を整理した。第2部では、水素ステーション整備事業に関連し、淡路島の豊富な再エネを活用した安価な地産地消型グリーン水素の利活用に向け、FS事業の予備検討結果を整理した。
This paper outlines a comprehensive strategy for Lao PDR to eliminate open waste burning (OWB), a prevalent disposal method caused by limited waste collection services. It emphasizes that OWB is a major source of toxic air pollutants like PM2.5 and black carbon, which severely threaten public health and exacerbate climate change. Rather than...
