Outline of Chair

Studies on the creation of symbiosis system of natural environment, agriculture, forestry and human life in the alpine and rural areas
Research Fields
- For the purpose of fostering advanced but fundamental scholarship and profound expert
knowledge, this seminar will be held to carry out exercises concerning the field directly
related to the tasks for study. - In order to make students participate in seminars with attendance of teaching staff and
students of the different but related major fields of study invited from the other chairs or other
fields so that respective own research can be developed to the other fields other than the
particular major field, this seminar will be held to foster abilities to extend to develop or
challenge to the other field. - Under the Chief Guidance Teaching Staff and Vise-Guidance Teaching Staffs, to actively
make research on the theme of study which is decided through discussion with the Chief
Guidance Teaching Staff and to make publication (doctoral thesis). - Students may be trained practically in any public agency and business enterprise if effectiveness
on education is recognized.
