Research Field: Research on policies and measures for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Research Theme: Research toward achieving both development and disaster risk reduction
① Understanding trends in the spatiotemporal distribution of disaster risk during the development process
② Research on the ideal approach to DRR in light of emerging social challenges such as climate change and population decline
③ Research on pre-disaster investment and future risk reduction in developing countries
A situation in which poverty issues, environmental problems, and disaster risks are intertwined (ex1: Mumbai, India)
ex2: Bangkok, Thailand
Comprehensive efforts across all sectors—social, economic, environmental, legal, physical, and cultural—are essential for disaster risk reduction.
It is important to address root causes rather than relying on symptomatic treatments.
