Professor Saki Kawarada

My specialty is public accounting, which focuses on the accounting systems of government and private non-profit organizations. As a result, I am involved in tasks connected to municipal water and sewerage business management councils. The management environment for water and sewerage businesses has become extremely challenging due to the rapid population decline in an aging society, leading to decreased service demand and increased renewal needs from aging facilities. We are working to explore the best approaches to ensure safe, secure, and sustainable water and sewerage services (benefits) and rates (burdens).

We are focusing an Ebola virus disease and cholera, two globally significant infectious diseases while also addressing the emerging concern of Mpox
For Ebola, we have systematically investigated the epidemic situation in Africa and conducted social science research on the various misconceptions and rumors that people in endemic areas have about the disease. For cholera, we are collaborating with India to investigate the causes of outbreaks and evaluate the effectiveness of rapid diagnostic kits. Through these studies, we aim to contribute to the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases.
