Goals of the Course [ENG] | | | 【Standardized across all programs】 It has been pointed out that the risk of natural disasters increases due to various factors and may affect the sustainability of society. It is required to objectively analyze hazard predictions that take into account changes in the global environment, vulnerabilities in modern society, conditions that induce disasters, and flexible response capabilities (resilience) in the event of a disaster. In addition, the point of disaster prevention and mitigation in the future is to mobilize and collaborate with the wisdom of various specialized fields.

授業の内容や構成
Course Content or Plan | | | Japan has become a world leader in disaster risk reduction (DRR) due to the constant need for innovation to cope with frequent and potentially catastrophic natural hazards. Participants in this course will critically examine current innovative DRR solutions (social and technical) and how these solutions have succeeded or failed to protect human life and property during major disasters such as the Tohoku Triple Disaster. Then focusing on the imminent Tokai Earthquake, the participants will work in groups to study the current state of disaster preparedness in the Tokai area, and generate creative ideas and proposals for improving DRR at the personal, institutional, or governmental level. Where necessary, basic training on useful creative thinking and problem-solving techniques will be provided to support students’ creative idea generation. The course may include a field study and/or a service-learning component. |
