Sustainable urban development requires a long-term sector-integrative approach. Cities are highly complex spatial agglomerations that consist of natural and human-made built environments including buildings and infrastructure. Urban elements are closely related to each other, and they re-influence other elements or relationships, complicating urban problems. Recently, the development of information and communication technology and the spread of smart cities have further deepened the inter-dependency between sectors including infrastructure and built environment, natural environment, and socio-economic sector. Thus, sustainable cities require systematic thinking to understand, integrate and coordinate various sectors and their interactions. In the regard, this lecture will cultivate systematic thinking based on temporal, integrated, and feedback thinking, learn the theory of complex systems, system dynamics and network analysis and apply them to the practical urban planning and policy problems.

The course will help to develop and use crash prediction models and to understand road safety policies in the scope of Safe System approach.

The transportation field has various types of market characteristics and is often the subject of case studies as a field where economic principles are applied. This course covers the minimum principles of economics necessary to understand the transportation market. That is, it deals with related microeconomic theories and some macroeconomics. And to see how these economic concepts are used in the transportation field, related studies are dealt with and the policy implications of the empirical findings derived from these studies are considered. Through this lecture, students can improve their understanding of policy measures such as government deregulation or privatization of enterprises in the transportation sector, monopolies, externalities, public goods, and market failures such as income inequality and asymmetric information. It is also possible to enhance understanding of the past and future of the transportation sector by discussing various solutions to the problem of public investment and methodologies. In addition, it is aimed that students can develop their perspectives on the present and the future situation that the transportation sector is facing.

This course will introduce the urban transportation planning process known as the standard methodology of approaching transportation problems in today’s metropolises. Topics will cover the basic theories on transport demand forecasting, characteristics of transportation problems, consumers’ choice behavior, value of travel time saving, alternative generation, and evaluation analysis for optimal decision.

This course will examine the rationality and effectiveness of selected transportation policies on subjects such as public transportation, urban mass transit, car ownership, congestion charging, traffic safety, taxation in transportation, transportation administration, and investment decision that have been implemented at home and abroad; and draw lessons and logical foundation for successful policy-making from various past experiences.

Environmental Research Design is a seminar class to understand the theoretical framework and basic methodology of urban space-based research design. The aim of this course is to nurture researchers who can conduct research independently by educating basic research design methods of visual & social science research and developing basic skills for conducting research. To this end, this class consists of two topics: “Understanding Research Design” and “Basic Research Metho- dology.” The “Understanding Research Design” section covers the concepts of research, literature review, operationalization of concepts, research question, and hypothesis testing. The “Basic Research Methodology”focuses on basic quantitative research methodology, practicing hypothesis testing and interpretation of analysis results using real data.

The course aims to provide a basic understanding of the main concepts, methods and techniques in urban and regional planning.

This course is the enrichment course of the Living Lab Workshop I. Students will be continuing the projects that have been initiated in the previous course and having more discussion sessions with classmates to review their projects. This scholarly method will be a developing process of pulling into the shape of their projects. The workshop I emphasize finding out community issue, analyzing it, and providing a practical solution, whereas the workshop II places emphasis on conducting cooperative problem-solving in the field site. In other words, students will be able to experience how a theoretical approach to urban and social innovation can work in the field. If this theoretical approach to the academic field does not work in the area, students can consider other alternatives to solve the problems. This educational approach offers opportunities for students to directly have experience in the process of realizing the idea of urban and social innovation. At the end of the term, students will present final reports and share their project performances with community development-related organizations, such as a local autonomous entity, social innovation enterprises (including public-private sector).

This course is a study of urban innovation that teaches students to find ways to solve the problems of the city, the society, and the environment. Urban Innovation encourages experts and residents to find out their community issues and resolve these issues by themselves. The first half of this course, students will learn about the meaning of social innovation and conduct several case studies. The latter half of this course, students will carry out projects through conducting field survey studies, directly communicating with residents, and solving the community issues with them. Even though each community looks like having a similar problem, it has the different scope and feature of the problem. Hence, this workshop course will be focused on grappling with the essence of the problem and analyzing the historical, the social, the economical, and the cultural influences that each community has. Ultimately, the theory of social innovation will enlighten students about applying a theoretical approach to urban and social innovation practice.
