"Urban Form" is my primary interest area, focusing the "Main Structure" of city and its correlation to human and ecological behaviors. Moreover, I am working on a concept called "Marketing for Development", in the area of Real Estate Planning. Growth management and Sprawl are also areas that I am interested in doing research. Application of fitting logical structures; like GIS, Spatial models, and Simulation systems, have been constantly a significant part of my research, and professional task.

Applications of GIS for the investigation of the relationship between urban structure and function and health-related behaviors. A substantial body of knowledge indicates there is a relationship between location and health; exactly how are the properties of urban environments related to such health factors as obesity, inactivity, and fast food consumption?
