The aim of this book is to establish a basis for resolving the
various issues facing modern society by exploring the field of
Computational Social Science, which fuses the social and natural
sciences. Today, society is threatened by problems concerning the
environment, population growth, hunger and epidemics, all of which
could lead to the extinction of humankind. However, attempting to
resolve these issues is extremely difficult, because of the
complex, intertwined factors involved, and because these issues are
not just matters related to nature and the environment but also to
society. In this book, we investigate this aporia of the social
sciences with the help of big data (which has gained considerable
attention in recent years) and techniques such as agent-based
simulation. Our aim is to resolve the complex system problems
characteristic of the present age. In this regard, the book focuses
on specific issues such as the reconstruction of public character
in our social-media-saturated modern lifestyle, the current state
of social capital, and the resultant social changes.
