Outline and Purpose of the Course ○With the focus on the recent dynamic changes in risk society, students will learn case examples of domestic and international disasters, environmental degradation, and planning of harmonized disaster prevention and environmental conservation, and acquire the capacity to think how to harmonize disaster prevention or mitigation and environmental conservation.
○By mastering social science and psychological approaches and resilience approach which overarches different academic areas, students will cultivate the capacity to think specific ways to mitigate impacts on environments and disasters.
〇This class is to learn the relationships between disasters and earth environment issues, and the relationships between those issues and human/social aspects, from not only natural science and engineering, but also social science and psychological approach and resilience approach.
Course Goals To address complex challenges including catastrophic disasters and global environmental changes in a modern risk society, students are supposed to build up capacities to understand from complex perspectives through different cases, and think specific ways to solve related problems with faculties and students who are in different fields beyond existing academic demarcations.
