“…The use of state-of-the-art simulation technologies and scenario analyses is not only limited to spatial forecasting, but can also be introduced to the fields of spatial governing and spatial management. Geographers have been able to make achievements in the research of spatial processes, and from here on, armed with GIS, they are expected to be actively committed in the fields of regional policy and urban planning (Murayama et al 2012).…”

GIS studies in Japan started to develop in the 1970s. At this time, quantitative geographers committed to GIS, and came to grips with methods to implement quantitative analysis, together with computer mapping. In the 1980s, spatial analysis with GIS emerged. With the spread of PCs at the beginning of the 1990s it became possible even for non-GIS specialists to use GIS; hence, empirical studies using GIS became popular in various fields of geography. Previously, GIS research in Japan was dominated mainly by GIS theories and techniques from the West, but with the advent of the 21st century, GIS research originating from Japan could also be found. In order to advance further GIS research, it is necessary to implement studies closely related to society. It is important to understand the needs of the public and citizens precisely, and to put research into practice that makes use of GIS for the benefit of Japanese society. Armed with refined GIS techniques, new methodological approaches are expected to affect positively urban planning and regional policy.

“…Over 1,600 papers and posters are expected to be presented, suggesting a substantial growth of the conference compared with the 1980 IGC. Japanese geographers are busily preparing for the international event (e.g., Murayama et al 2012). This special issue of the Geographical Review of Japan Series B, the English language journal of the Association of Japanese Geographers (AJG), is intended to introduce recent geographic developments in Japan and to provide an overview of the diverse interests, concerns, and activities of Japanese geographers.…”
