Abstract
This study demonstrates collaborative methodologies and techniques using GIS (Geographic Information System) for multidisciplinary environmental research by self-evaluating trialand-error practices in a multidisciplinary research and education program at Yokohama National University (YNU). It describes changes of the activation level of GIS use throughout the overall and individual research projects in the program. This study analyzes the trigger factors by conducting interviews of participating researchers. As a conclusion, it proposes new ideas to promote a multidisciplinary environmental research project that makes use of GIS. Experiences and lessons learned from this program are useful for designing and implementing new multidisciplinary environmental projects beyond YNU and Japan.
