Research Activities

In March 2012, the year after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Cabinet Office announced that the number of disabled people who died in Miyagi Prefecture was 1,028, which was 1.7% of the total number of disabled people, and more than four times the total number of disabled people per total population of 0.4%. We believe that research on inclusive disaster prevention will become increasingly necessary in the future. We are considering trial approaches in various communities that include people with disabilities, and exploring the prospects for special needs education that focuses on the vulnerability of children and adults with disabilities.
