  • Tomohiro Ichinose is a Japanese scientific researcher, who was born in Chiba, Japan on 23th July 1968. He took the degree of master from the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the University of Tokyo. From October 1996 to September 1998 he studied as a visiting researcher at Munich Technical University. He got the degree of Ph.D (agriculture) from the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the University of Tokyo in March 1997. The doctoral dissertation title is "Methods of Environmental Evaluation for Avian Conservation". At that time, he focused on the relationship between bird distribution and environmental factors (ex. land use types, vegetation structure, forest fragmentation and so on). After that, he became an assistant professor, later associate professor, at the Institute of Natural and Environmental Sciences, University of Hyogo. He investigated dragonfly and damselfly species on water storage ponds in Awaji Island and bird species diversity in a city center of Nishinomiya and Osaka City, and analyzed long-term land use changes in Awaji Island. Now, he is a professor at Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC), Keio University. Recently, he has some projects about ecological network planning methods in metropolitan Cities, landscape changes in suburban and rural areas, depopulation and aging problem in remote areas of Japan. Since the great disaster on 11th March 2011 he has supported the reconstruction of Kesennuma City with students and teachers of SFC, which was heavily damaged in the city center by the huge tsunami. He was a guest researcher at Vienna University of Technology from September 2012 to August 2013 and guest professor at the Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca’Foscari University Venice from December 2012 to March 2013. Dean of Faculty of Environment and Information Studies from October 2021. President of Assciation of Rural Planning, Japan from April 2019.

  • Research on the actual status of Intercultural Garden initiatives in Japan

    Zhou Tianshuo, Ichinose Tomohiro

    Reports of the City Planning Institute of Japan (The City Planning Institute of Japan)  23 ( 2 ) 152 2024.09

    　View Summary

    <p>We investigated the current status and role of intercultural gardens in Japan, highlighting their importance in promoting multicultural coexistence amidst a growing foreign resident population. This research aimed to provide a basis for future discourse and action towards a sustainable future for IGs in Japan. We examined case studies from Kariya, Chiryu, and Toyota Cities in Aichi Prefecture and Nagata Ward in Kobe City, focusing on areas with significant numbers of foreign workers. The results showed that IGs facilitate regional diversity and intercultural exchange. Collaboration with local organizations, resource recycling initiatives, and opportunities for multicultural interaction are seen as essential to ensure the sustainability and development of these community spaces.</p>

  • Utilizing a top predator to prioritize site protection for biodiversity conservation

    Natsukawa H., Yuasa H., Sutton L.J., Amano H., Haga M., Itaya H., Kawashima H., Komuro S., Konno T., Mori K., Onagi M., Ichinose T., Sergio F.

    Journal of Environmental Management 347 2023.12

    ISSN  03014797

    　View Summary

    Ongoing global change makes it ever more urgent to find creative solutions for biodiversity preservation, but prioritizing sites for protection can be challenging. One shortcut lies in mapping the habitat requirements of well-established biodiversity indicators, such as top predators, to identify high-biodiversity sites. Here, we planned site protection for biodiversity conservation by developing a multi-scale species distribution model (SDM) for the raptorial Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis; goshawk) breeding in an extensive megacity region of Japan. Specifically, we: (1) examined the determinants of top predator occurrence and thus of high-biodiversity value in this megacity setting, (2) identified the biodiversity hotspots, (3) validated whether they actually held higher biodiversity through an independent dataset, and (4) evaluated their current protection by environmental laws. The SDM revealed that goshawks preferred secluded sites far from roads, with abundant forest within a 100 m radius and extensive forest ecotones suitable for hunting within a 900 m radius. This multi-scale landscape configuration was independently confirmed to hold higher biodiversity, yet covered only 3.2% of the study area, with only 44.0% of these sites legally protected. Thus, a rapid biodiversity assessment mediated by a top predator quickly highlighted: (1) the poor development of biodiversity-friendly urban planning in this megacity complex, an aspect overlooked for decades of rapid urban sprawl, and (2) the extreme urgency of extending legal protection to the sites missed by the current protected area network. Exigent biodiversity indicators, such as top predators, could be employed in the early or late stages of anthropogenic impacts in order to proactively incorporate biodiversity protection into planning or flag key biodiversity relics. Our results confirm and validate the applied reliability of top predatory species as biodiversity conservation tools.

  • Breeding habitat selection of the Daurian Redstart <i>Phoenicurus auroreus</i><i> </i>at the nest and territory scale

    ISHII Hanaka, YAMAJI Masanori, NATSUKAWA Haruki, ICHINOSE Tomohiro

    ORNITHOLOGICAL SCIENCE (The Ornithological Society of Japan)  21 ( 2 ) 227 - 234 2022.07

    ISSN  13470558

    　View Summary

    <p>The Daurian Redstart <i>Phoenicurus auroreus</i> has expanded its breeding distribution in recent years and now breeds in Japan, previously only part of its wintering range. We analyzed the breeding habitat selection of the population at the nest and territory scale in the Kirigamine Highlands, Nagano, Central Japan. At the nesting scale, the birds chose buildings frequently occupied by humans, while at the territory scale, they avoided sites in larger built-up areas. Our findings demonstrate that the breeding habitat selection of Daurian Redstart is influenced by environmental factors at both nest and territory scales.</p>

  • From Walking for Health to Building Sustainable Cities

    ICHINOSE Tomohiro

    IATSS Review (International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences)  47 ( 1 ) 22 - 32 2022.06

    ISSN  03861104

    　View Summary

    <p>The shift from automobile-oriented cities to walkable, people-centered cities is underway around the world. In the early 2000s, the Walkable Index was proposed, and many studies have been conducted on the walkability of cities. Many studies have proven that walking has various effects on human health. Increasingly severe global environmental problems and the spread of COVID-19 since the end of 2019 are pushing this urban transformation forward rapidly, moving us toward the construction of integrated sustainable cities on a human scale, such as 15-minute cities. I would like to give an overview of what kind of debate has been going on in the world from the end of the 1990s to the present from the perspective of walking.</p>

  • Unmanned aerial vehicles as a useful tool for investigating animal movements

    Iwamoto M., Nogami S., Ichinose T., Takeda K.

    Methods in Ecology and Evolution 13 ( 5 ) 969 - 975 2022.05

    　View Summary

    Determining animal abundance is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of management measures against pest animals. Meanwhile, investigating animal movements has become important for conducting abundance estimations of unmarked animals since the random encounter model (REM) was published. REM is a camera trapping method that derives animal density by using contact ratio between camera traps and targeted animals that randomly move at a certain speed in a given area. However, it requires an independent value, which is animal speed. For investigating animal speed, camera traps with video recording and GPS tagging are the commonly used tools. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are currently used in wildlife monitoring to investigate the abundance of target species. It is evaluated as a tool that is non-invasive and suitable for surveys in inaccessible landscapes. Considering these characteristics, we regarded a distant survey using this technology as suitable for investigating animal movements. Therefore, we proposed a method for estimating animal movements using UAVs and conducted a case study that aimed to investigate wild boars' movements. We collected 11 video samples that successfully followed the movements of wild boars from 26 UAV flights in total, and the average speed of their movements derived from all the samples was 1.54 km/24 hr. We found that issues can be improved, including species identification, video sample length, and animal behaviours or activity patterns. On the other hand, our method showed potential for applying to species with specific characteristics in their body size, shape or activity patterns. With improvements in the issues mentioned above, UAVs would become an alternative tool for investigating animal movements.

    Type of Award： Award from Japanese society, conference, symposium, etc.

    　View Description

    本研究では、緑地環境評価をその空間レベルによって、マクロスケール・メソスケール・ミクロスケールの３つにわけて、統計的手法を用いた群集レベルでの評価を行う手法が提案した。マクロスケールでは、対象地域全体を、対象となる生物群集の分布に基づいて区分し、対象生物にとって重要な景観構成要素を抽出することに成功した。メソスケールでは、マクロスケールで重要と判定されたの景観構成要素タイプについて、その質を規定する要因を明らかにする手法を示した。さらに、広域的な視点では均一にみなし得る空間も、よりミクロな視点ではしばしば不均一であることから、ミクロスケールでは、こうした不均一性が生物群集に及ぼす影響を分析し、その成果を環境評価に反映できることを明らかにした。また、スケールによらない要因として、動物生態的要因を挙げ、個々の分類群あるいは種に典型的に見られる特質を明らかにすることが、それぞれのスケールにおける評価を補完できることを示した。これらの個々の成果は、欧米の先進国に比べて研究蓄積が少なかった我が国において先駆的な成果となったと言える。
