AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for cities and regions where people can live safely and with peace of mind.
The Urban Disaster Prevention Planning Lab aims for cities and regions where people can live safely and with peace of mind, and studies measures to reduce and avoid disaster risk.
To put in place disaster prevention and mitigation measures suited to regional characteristics, it is necessary to understand the spatial relationship between the natural environment and human society.
It is also essential to take a perspective that, while lifelines are cut off after a disaster, maintains necessary functions and works on recovery and reconstruction by making use of local resources.
Associate Professor Keiko Inagaki, who is in charge of the lab, also works on urban spatial analysis using GIS.
