This series is a constellation of works by scholars in the field of regional science
andinrelateddisciplinesspecificallyfocusingondynamisminAsia.
Asia is the most dynamic part of the world. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore
experiencedrapidandmiracleeconomicgrowthinthe1970s.Malaysia,Indonesia,
and Thailand followed in the 1980s. China, India, and Vietnam are now rising
countries in Asia and are even leading the world economy. Due to their rapid
economic development and growth, Asian countries continue to face a variety of
urgentissuesincludingregionalandinstitutionalunbalancedgrowth,environmental
problems, poverty amidst prosperity, an ageing society, the collapse of the bubble
economy,anddeflation,amongothers.
Asian countries are diversified as they have their own cultural, historical, and
geographical as well as political conditions. Due to this fact, scholars specializing
in regional science as an inter- and multi-discipline have taken leading roles in
providingmitigatingpolicyproposalsbasedonrobustinterdisciplinaryanalysisof
multifacetedregionalissuesandsubjectsinAsia.Thisseriesnotonlywillpresent
unique research results from Asia that are unfamiliar in other parts of the world
because of language barriers, but also will publish advanced research results from
thoseregionsthathavefocusedonregionalandurbanissuesinAsiafromdifferent
perspectives.
The series aims to expand the frontiers of regional science through diffusion of
intrinsically developed and advanced modern regional science methodologies in
Asiaandotherareasoftheworld.Readerswillbeinspiredtorealizethatregional
and urban issues in the world are so vast that their established methodologies still

foranalyzingandresolvingurgentregionalandurbanissuesinAsia.
Topics under consideration in this series include the theory of social cost and
benefit analysis and criteria of public investments, socio-economic vulnerability
against disasters, food security and policy, agro-food systems in China, industrial

Memorial Address for Professor Yuzuru
Miyata
Professor Yuzuru Miyata, a prominent figure in computable general equilibrium
modelingforcity,region,andenvironment,passedawayonJuly18,2018.Hewas
64yearsold.
Born in Tokyo in 1954, Professor Miyata received his graduation degree from
HokkaidoUniversity’sGraduateSchoolofEnvironmentalScience.Hethenearned
hisPhDfromHokkaidoUniversityaswell.In1968,HokkaidoUniversityhiredhim
asanassistantprofessor.HemovedtoKushiroPublicUniversityofEconomicsand
thentoToyohashiUniversityofTechnologyin1995,wherehewouldbeaprofessor
two years later. There he served as president’s adviser in 2010 and dean of the
DepartmentofArchitectureandCivilEngineeringin2015.
His educational and research activities covered various fields such as regional
science, environmental economics, urban and regional economics, and civil engi-
neering. Additionally, he developed a variety of urban and regional economic
models considering the environmental issues and taught many master’s and PhD
students. The results of his research have been presented in domestic and inter-
national conferences and have also been published in books, journals, and global
conferences. His papers in Japanese have been published in domestic journals in
Japan, such as Studies in Regional Science, Environmental Science, Journal of
HumanandEnvironmentalSymbiosis,JournalofJapanSocietyofCivilEngineers,
InfrastructurePlanningReview,andJournaloftheCityPlanningInstituteofJapan.
Inamoreglobalaspect,hiscontributionshavebeenpublishedinPapersinRegional
Science, Singapore Economic Review, Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science,
RegionalScienceInquiry,andJournalofCleanerProduction.
ProfessorMiyata’sprimaryresearchinterestswerethefollowing:
1. Development of computable general equilibrium models with interactions
between waste goods and economic activities. Here, he constructed a regional
computable general equilibrium model of waste circulation and evaluated the
impactsofenvironmentalpolicyonregionaleconomy.

ulation dynamics. Here, he developed a dynamic urban economic model and
proposedamethodologyforevaluatingurbanpopulationdynamicsandconfigu-
rations.
4. Evaluation of a compact city system using computable general equilibrium
models. For this topic, he focused on the urban economy of Obihiro City
in Hokkaido, constructing a computable general equilibrium model of waste
circulationforcompactcityformation.

These academic achievements have been published in numerous books and
papers. Additionally, Professor Miyata received paper prizes from the Society of
CivilEngineersinJapan,JapanSectionoftheRegionalScienceAssociationInter-
national (JRSAI), and Japan Association of Human and Environmental Symbiosis
(JAHES).
In addition, he was a member of the JSRSAI, JAHES, the Japan Society of
EnvironmentalChemistry,JapaneseEconomicAssociation,CityPlanningInstitute
of Japan, Japan Association for Real Estate Sciences, Japan Association for
Planning and Public Management, and Society of Civil Engineers in Japan. He
served multiple roles such as vice president, director, and committee member and
contributed greatly in those academic positions. In his social activities, Professor
Miyata also served as chairman of committees for governments and supported
planningandpolicyformationatthenational,regional,andurbanlevels.
As an adviser to the president in the Toyohashi University of Technology
administration, he contributed in many regional activities. He also implemented
many regional services in the university through the Center for Collaborative
RegionalPlanningandDesign,ResearchCenterforFutureVehicleCity,andSafety
andSecurityRegionalCo-creationResearchCenter.AsdeanoftheDepartmentof
ArchitectureandCivilEngineering,hesupporteduniversitymanagement.
He also served as the director of Regional Science Association International
(RSAI) and the Pacific Regional Science Conference Organization (PRSCO). He

MemorialAddressforProfessorYuzuruMiyata ix
Professor Miyata dedicated his life to educational and research activities in the
region, and his contributions were of immense importance. An essential figure for
JSRSAI and RSAI, Professor Miyata is truly appreciated for his impact both on
academiaandlife.
