| Research Abstract |
Our main results of research are the following three aspects.
At first, we carried out the fieldwork investigation concern pollution problems in China, Korea, and Far East Russia and established opportunities for an exchange of ideas with each scholar. The result showed that it was necessary to balance some policies to address serious environmental problems with development of each regional economy in North-East Asia Region, which help to settle some issues this area faced.
Secondly, we held three international symposiums in term of this project and had an animated discussion with scholar from China, Korea and Far East Russia and domestic experts. In those symposiums, we succeeded in finding not only the significance of environmental cooperation in North-East Asia, but also possibility of the formulation of interdisciplinary and integrated studies though States in East Asia encounter some problems of economic disparities and the differences about administration systems. Especially we reevaluated correspondence in citizen administration and cooperation in order to conquer regional pollution such as Yokkaichi Asthma.
Finally, we proposed "YOKKAICHI Studies" including, human science, futurology, environmental education and Asian study, which is never obsessed with existing academic area. As a result of our works, Two books were published ; "Toward Environmental Amenity Eco- City- Suggestion from YOKKAICHI Air Pollution", Chuouhouki, 2004 and "YOKKAICHI Studies- Environmental Study for the Future", Fubaisya, 2005. "YOKKAICHI Studies" is also made active use of as a tool of environmental study in Mie University.
