本研究では、既存の環境効率指標の整理・分析を行いつつ、財・サービスが生み出す付加価値と環境負荷の関係性を評価・分析し、新たな環境効率指標の開発を行う。さらに、日本の環境効率を時系列で推計し、推移の要因分析を行う

A large proportion of Asia’s urban population is served by informal modes of transport known as paratransit. Many of the vehicles in this informal sector contribute to rising air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Energy-efficient technologies could make paratransit environmentally sustainable. However, the purchase and use of clean...

Methodology development on macro-level environmental impact associated with material use in Japan.

This study quantifies the environmental impacts and impact reductions related to wood consumption in Japan from 1970 to 2013 using material flow analysis and life cycle assessment.

This publication is intended to provide expert-based assessment of regional progress of 3R policy implementation in China, particularly in response to the Hanoi 3R Goals (2013-2023) adopted at the 4th Regional 3R Forum in Asia and the Pacific in Hanoi in March 2013.

Pedestrianization programs hold promise to encourage non-motorized transport (NMT) in rapidly motorizing cities. But successful implementation of these programs depends on whether they meet the needs of urban residents. This article aims to assess how Bandung, Indonesia—a fast-growing city of 2.3 million people—is meeting those needs with a...

Governments are increasingly seeking low-cost ways to curb residential energy use. This article examines the effect of one such innovative approach to energy savings in Bogor, Indonesia: a prepaid electricity meter system. The Bogor prepaid system requires households pay up front for their electricity as the meter tracks consumption and credit. By...

Developing methodology to evaluate decoupling economic growth from environmental impacts of materials use in Japan. The study estimates environmental impact at macro level associated with material use using MFA and LCA.

サステイナビリティ・サイエンス・コンソーシアム研究集会にて窒素循環の視点から人間と環境の相互作用、資源と廃棄物の関係、また、自然と共生する循環型社会に向けて政策提言を行った。

Motorization has increased sharply forced by economic growth couple with poor public transport services especially at urban areas in Asian cities. A transition process to a private vehicle dependent society could be found in many cities because local authority doesn't have appropriate planning to anticipate it while earlier studies also clearly...
