In Japan, incidents of damage caused by encounters between bears and humans surged across the country in 2025, with the appearance of bears in urban areas becoming a serious issue in northern Tohoku, especially in Akita and Iwate. Why is the risk of encounters currently on the rise? And where is danger likely to grow in the future? This article introduces research by Professor Wataru Takeuchi of the Institute of Industrial Science, Â鶹ÊÓƵ, which integrates remote sensing and machine learning to show the probability of bear appearances and how the risks may change moving forward.
The website aims to serve as a “platform for dialogue” between society and Â鶹ÊÓƵ-IIS by allowing visitors to post their expectations, concerns, and free comments on the articles. You're invited to think about the future of the latest engineering research and share your thoughts with the researchers.
