About the Center for Regional Development

Akita University Center for Regional Development’s goal as an organization is to ‘create the knowledge needed for regional regeneration,’ with the aim of collaborating with the region to provide advice on educational and resident-led activities and to contribute to regional development. In addition, on September 1, 2011, the center established the Regional Disaster Prevention Department, which aims to study and research forms of regional disaster prevention that take into consideration the characteristics of Akita Prefecture, and to contribute to the creation of safe and secure local communities. The center will continue to act in unison with local residents through such initiatives as public contribution activities held by staff and students and the utilization of regional resources.
