| Research Interests: | ||
| Most current research interests encompass the following: 1) looking into the implication of demographic changes (esp., graying population) to urban sustainability including urban health implications by employing varied methods and techniques in geographic information systems/science; 2) developing an operational model for planning support systems which enables semantic interchange in the processes of planning and/or policy-making in urban places and regions; and to demonstrate its application; and 3) examining methods for the use of Cyberinfrastructure in simulating interactions among varied actors of urban systems; and to develop the applications | ||
