convener:Gen Ueda(Graduate School of Social Sciences, Hitotsubashi University), Yoshinori OTSUKI(Institute of Geography, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University), Takahisa Furuichi(Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute), Toru Sasaki(HOSEI University), Chairperson:Yoshinori OTSUKI(Institute of Geography, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University), Gen Ueda(Graduate School of Social Sciences, Hitotsubashi University), Takahisa Furuichi(Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute)

The purpose of this interdisciplinary session is to discuss how human intervention
has been affecting natural resource and environment and how changes in natural
resource and environment have been affecting human societies, from perspectives of
earth sciences and social sciences. Contributions from a broad spectrum of research
approaches are welcomed, including local-scale fieldworks in various countries under
diverse socio-economic and natural conditions, theory development derived from
existing knowledge, and research reviews based on progress of knowledge,
methodology or research concepts. Following research themes and findings are
included in the focus of the session but further topics related to use, change,
management of natural resources and environment are also accepted. 1) New
knowledge on human use of natural resources and environment, and locally inherited
experience on the sustainable use; 2) Impacts of human use on change or
degradation of natural resources and environment; i.e. environmental history or
environmental geography; 3) Impacts of global climate change on resource and
environmental change or degradation; 4) Proper management of natural resource
and environment for conservation; 5) Socio-economic changes, livelihood security,
political ecology as a driver or result of resource and environmental change or
degradation; 6) Issues for overcoming gaps in linking between local national,
regional and global studies. The session will ensure time for discussion between
authors and audience and, if suitable, authors are encouraged to facilitate dialogues
between earth sciences and social sciences. Note: Language of the session is
Japanese and English with no priority.
