RISH and CSEAS are endeavoring to conduct collaborative research at the same site. Previously RISH had already been conducting research at the MHP site; however MHP had not been available to host CSEAS at their plantation site. Currently Prof. Kawai and Prof. Mizuno are still searching for the perfect site. The possibilities of conducting collaborative research spanning a period of 2 years will be explored and discussed.
1. Shigeo Kobayashi:
The impact on soil of thinning/logging inside timber plantation site. This study is conducted at teak plantations in Thailand and Indonesia.
2. Shoko Kobayashi:
Study on carbon dynamic by using remote sensing technology. The study will analyze satellite imagery of the current MHP plantation site.
3. Osamu Kozan:
Using Radar monitoring for vegetation research.
4. Koisuke Mizuno:
(1) Study on the impact of big scale timber plantations on the local community in the peat-land areas of Indonesia.
(2) Jatropha as an alternative source to create bio-energy? Analyzes small- scale mixed garden producing Jatropha as a bio-fuel source.
5. Takashi Watanabe:
Study on the current status and trend of the development of bioethanol (the project site is in Indonesia).
6. Takahisa Hayashi:
Asia joint bio-fuel development. The study proposes a scenario of Bio-ethanol development in Indonesia.
7. Retno Kusumaningtyas:
Integrating industry based bio-ethanol production from timber with traditional local community crop production in Indonesia. The research is about assessing the possibility of integrating local community agroforestry with the bio-ethanol industry based on Paraserianthes falcataria in Indonesia.
8. Wil de Yong:
Balancing Tropical Forest Property - Regulatory - Support Regimes The presentation emphasized the importance of the governance of forest resources. The research will be conducted by comparing forest policy and governance of natural resources in a number of countries in South America and Southeast Asia.
9. Koji Tanaka:
Study on community based mixed species garden: ecological and policy perspectives.
10. Ishikawa Noboru:
Study on local communities surrounding plantation areas in Sarawak, Kalimantan, and Sumatra.
11. Motoko Fujita:
Study on biodiversity in acacia plantation. Current research focuses on the avian species.
12. Fumikazu Ubukata:
Biodiversity conservation from the social perspective. Budget applied for travel expenses for two years is about 1 million yen.
13. Shirou Suzuki:
Study on tropical acacia breeding.
14. Rumi Kaida:
Fast-growing tropical tree breeding improvement. This research is concerned with the improvement of value added timber for the local community.
