I am an interdisciplinary researcher specializing in educational psychology, cognitive science, applied linguistics, and quantitative social science. In my research I utilize data analysis methods such as multiple regression, path analysis, and structural equation modeling to explain attitudes, processes, interactions, and outcomes across a wide range of educational and social situations.

In September 2015 the United Nations adopted the Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which features 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In December 2018, the Hokkaido Prefectural Government formulated the Hokkaido SDGs Promotion Vision highlighting the various challenges faced by the region. In recent years the Hokkaido Prefectural Government has actively promoted cycling tourism and safety through initiatives such as the Hokkaido Cycling Road, Friendly Road Hokkaido, and the Second Phase Hokkaido Bicycle Utilization Promotion Plan. The Second Phase Hokkaido Bicycle Utilization Promotion Plan states that in "promoting the use of bicycles, it is important to promote understanding of the benefits of bicycles, such as reducing environmental impact and improving health, as an initiative that contributes to achieving the goals of the SDGs" (own translation) (Hokkaido Prefectural Government, 2023). However, the Oshima region of Hokkaido tends to be overlooked compared to other regions when it comes to the development of information infrastructure related to cycling. Hakodate Cycle is focused on making a positive contribution to the current situation by drawing attention to the ways in which cycling and information infrastructure design can contribute to the local promotion of certain sustainable development goals.

国際連合 (２０１５) は「我々の世界を変革する：持続可能な開発のための２０３０アジェンダ」を採択し、これには１７の持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）が含まれています。北海道庁 (２０１８) が「北海道SDGs推進ビジョン」を策定し、地域が直面する課題を強調しました。近年、北海道庁は「北海道サイクリングロード」や「フレンドリーロード北海道」、「第2期北海道自転車利活用推進計画」などの取り組みを通じて、サイクリング観光と安全の促進に積極的に取り組んでいます。「第2期北海道自転車利活用推進計画」では、「自転車の利活用の推進は、こうした SDGs の趣旨を踏まえながら、「環境負荷低減」や「健康増進」といった自転車のもつ利点がゴールの達成に資する取組として、さらなる自転車利用についての理解促進に努めていくことが重要です」と述べています（北海道庁、２０２３）。しかし、北海道の渡島地域は他の地域と比べてサイクリングに関連する情報インフラの整備が遅れている傾向にあります。
