Catastrophic Disaster Information Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores practical disaster prevention science through disaster information, disaster prevention education, and disaster culture.
AboutAbout the lab
Building a practical science of disaster prevention.
The Catastrophic Disaster Information Systems Lab conducts research to reduce damage from catastrophic disasters, combining social science and natural science.
The lab's research theme is "establishing integrated disaster mitigation systems and building a practical science of disaster prevention."
From a social science perspective, the lab proposes how disaster information, disaster prevention education, and disaster culture should be shaped.
In regions such as Kuroshio Town in Kochi Prefecture, Fukuchiyama City in Kyoto Prefecture, and Central America, the lab is carrying out a variety of projects on evacuation and disaster prevention.
Key terms
- Disaster culture
- Wisdom and customs, such as preparedness practices and oral traditions, passed down in communities that have experienced disasters
- Disaster mitigation
- An approach that assumes disasters cannot be completely prevented and aims to keep damage as small as possible
