    Disaster Management and Social Capital in Cases of Shinjuku-ku : Generational Differences Do Matter

    Much attention has been paid on social capital as a concept for understanding of local communities in recent years. This study verifies relations between social capital and local capabilities of disaster management from a standpoint of usual relation of people within neighborhood or a community through the questionnaire survey in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo conducted in September 2010. Correlations are found between social capital and local capabilities of disaster management by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis (n=446). The most principal factor closely related to local capabilities for disaster management is a latent factor of “good sense of place”. There are significant differences of cognition for disaster preparedness between respondents of less than 60 years and respondents of 60 years or more. In conclusion, this study discusses the implication for public policy making.departmental bulletin pape

    PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI SIMULATION OUTPUTFOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT

    Earthquake and tsunami simulation is one example of advanced computer technology for predicting and visualizing structural damage of all buildings in a target area. With structural analysis results, earthquake and tsunami simulation can provide reliable output of structural damage in selected earthquake scenarios. Applying a set of such reliable output to disaster management, prevention measures can be constructed to protect human life and property in the earthquake scenarios. This paper proposes practical applications of earthquake and tsunami simulation output in disaster management point of view. In earthquake and tsunami simulation output, each individual building is considered separately as micro output, and all buildings of the target area are considered simultaneously as macro output. Based on the micro output, a strengthening plan for existing buildings and a construction guideline for new buildings can be developed from predicted structural damage of each individual building. Based on the macro output, visualization of earthquake and tsunami simulation output can classify the range of building damage and indicate a weak point of the target area in order to control overall damage and increase people’s awareness. In the future, integrated earthquake and tsunami simulation with evacuation models will help for better evaluation of the present evacuation methods, routes, and shelters.conference pape
