This interdisciplinary project will examine the following matters based on social psychological theories and using subjective indicators, in collaboration with physiological index measurement, informatics, and engineering: what kind of a state of place contributes to the optimal state and well-being of individuals? How does the realization of a certain state for an individual relate to the state of place? Specifically, the investigators are interested in places where small groups of people work together, including task-oriented groups in the “workplace” that is more ordinary and closer to a social scene, as well as the idea of the “city” as a shared space. In this process, subjective indicators will be linked to various measurement data.

Thus, the research group aims to create a variety of places that support various optimal states of diverse individuals (from competitive individuals to co-creative individuals).

A kick-off symposium for this project will be held. For more details, please see the link below (Japanese version only).
