Shibuya Lab UTokyo III
We research diversity and inclusiveness of human mobility and information flow both in digital and physical worlds.
Shibuya Lab is in the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies, The University of Tokyo. Our primary interests lie in how to ensure and enhance democratic participatory structures. Our research goal is to understand how to ensure diverse opportunities and experiences in urban and remote regions, promoting a democratic participatory structure. To achieve this, we study human mobility data and human behavior in digital environments to better understand and simulate these behaviors on a citywide scale. Additionally, we have projects focused on civic tech and the use of civic data.
