Division of Environmental Studies was founded in 1999 aiming at "fusion" of different
study fields to solve different environmental issued and to design and explore future
human environment.

We have 6 departments and one program. We work together to understand different
aspects of environment with wider and integrated view points.

We go beyond solving problems. We want to design and create future.

10And now, our department, Department of Sociocultural Environmental Studies.

11Here is the our mission statement. We work together to make deeper and wider
understandings on our living environment including physical strucutres and sociologicalaspects. We aim to design and create future via fusion of different study fields.
