Outline (in English)

Natural disaster risk is defined by (1) natural-hazard impacts and (2) social vulnerabilities. In order to improve social resilience that supports future sustainable society, we examine various natural phenomena that cause disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruption, heavy rain, and slope failures, in terms of their spatial variation, mechanism, and history. We also examine current status and issues in disaster prevention.
Students should be able to do the followings by the end of the course: (1) to explain features of natural disasters from the perspective of land conditions, and (2) to explain issues for disaster prevention in the Japanese islands. Before/after each class meeting, students will be expected to spend four hours to understand the course content. Grading will be decided based on short reports (50%) and the final report (50%).
