Since ancient times, and even now, mankind has faced a natural disaster almost every day somewhere around the world resulting in repeated damage. The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake is one such example which resulted in over 21,000 related deaths.
Why does repeated damage occur? That is because while natural phenomena occur repeatedly, lessons from past experiences have been forgotten and have not been effectively used. In addition, damage itself greatly varies as society changes. In the past, there was no nuclear plant accident in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
Existing academic frameworks have been unable to prevent such natural disasters in the face of human/social problems. Therefore we need a new field of interdisciplinary study and we propose practical research which makes use of lessons learned in previous disasters and aims to construct a resilient society. As well as conducting theoretical studies, we would like to propose concrete disaster preparations tailored to each community.
