[2-1] International Roundtable Meeting Objectives
Leveraging Big Data for Infrastructure Management andSustainable Development
Date: 16th, September, 2015
Venue: Okayama University Tsushima Campus in Okayama City, Okayama, JAPANObjectives
The year 2015 will be a very important year for people around the world to consider
what direction mankind should take for the future. In March, the 3rd UN World Conference
on Disaster Risk Reduction was held in Sendai, Japan, where the framework for action indisaster management and reduction for the next 15 years was adopted. In September,the UN General Assembly will decide on post Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),
followed by the 21st UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21), which is tobe convened in Paris in December to adopt a new framework to reduce emissions ofgreen-house gasses.
This series of international conferences may be debating different issues, but they will be
sharing one grand theme: sustainable development. While we engage in the act ofdevelopment dedicated to human well-being, there is still inherent risk involved derivingfrom issues of population, land use, economy, governance, etc. This inherent risk in the actof development may trigger crises of human security when joined by extreme natural
phenomena such as water related hazards, volcanic eruption or climate changes, posing
critical danger and possibly causing devastating damage to food, energy, water, andbiodiversity as well as human lives. It is thus important to holistically understand therelationship between issues of human society and human security, based on which we
can prevent possible future risks, reduce present risks and build resilience that will help
quick recovery from devastation.
To realize sustainable development we need to develop a inter-disciplinary andtrans-disciplinary strategy by effectively working with Big Data in terms of volume andvariety of data. In cooperation with ICT communities, we should develop innovative anddoable technologies and policies for improving infrastructure, such as evidence-based
disaster risk reduction, smooth transportation supported by mobile ICT, urban resilience
expressed by integrated indicators, and sensor network based maintenance ofinfrastructure including roads, bridges and sewage systems.
This RTM discusses how we can develop and improve infrastructure towards sustainable
development by sharing Big Data science updates and its applications introduced by aleading IT scientist and exchanging experiences and ideas among participating
countries.
