ACECC TC21 国内支援委員会
土木学会平成２９年度全国大会研究討論会
分野・部門間協働による防災推進のためのアジア諸国の協力

1. 本研究討論会の主題
科学技術の進歩にもかかわらず国内外で災害が増加しており、アジア太平洋地域では減災・防災は共通した喫緊の課題になっている。最適な科学技術のほか、災害の根本原因への取り組み、
事前準備、市民参加など、防災に関する科学的考え方、経験からの教訓などが、行政や民間の防災上の様々な意志決定段階で正確に理解され、十分活用されていないこと、また学術分野や産業部門間の協働体制が不十分で、協力の効果が十分挙がっていないことが、災害拡大の主因の一つと考えられる。アジア土木学協会連合協議会の 21 番目の技術委員会である TC21 は分野・部門横断的アプローチ（Transdisciplinary Approach）により、災害に強い社会づくりに貢献することを目的として設立された。本研究討論会では、TC21 の取組みを紹介するとともに、災害の根本
原因の軽減を通じた災害に強い社会づくりについて議論する。
2. ACECC TC21 活動における本研究討論会の位置づけ
研究討論会にご参加いただく日本の土木技術者に対して、ACECC TC21 の活動について知っていただくとともに、他分野との協働の必要性とその現状に関する議論を通じて、第 8 回アジア土
木技術国際会議（CECAR8；2019 年 4 月）の ACECC TC21 セッションで示す日本の事例についての方向性を明らかにする。
（参考：ACECC TC21 について）
土木学会は、土木界全体の国際化に取り組むための主導的な役割を果たす組織として、2012 年に国際センター（上田多門センター長）を設立して、国際活動の強化を進めている。土木学会の
国 際 活 動 の 一 つ に 、 ア ジ ア 土 木 学 協 会 連 合 協 議 会 （ ACECC ； Asian Civil Engineering
Coordinating Council）の活動が挙げられる。
ACECC は 1999 年に設立されたアジア・太平洋地区の土木に関する学協会の連合協議会であり、13 の国と地域（米国、台湾、豪州、インドネシア、インド、バングラデシュ、パキスタン、日本、
韓国、モンゴル、ネパール、フィリピン、ベトナム）の組織が参加、日本の土木学会に事務局がおかれている。減災・防災はアジア・太平洋地区の共通課題であり、日本の土木学会はこの分野における ACECC 活動についても主導的立場を務めてきた。
ACECC 活動の中心は、技術委員会（TC; Technical Committee）活動であり、学術団体の連合協議会として、各国政府や国際機関に対して科学的見地から政策提言を行うことを目的に活動している。この ACECC における減災・防災に関連する活動の一層の活性化のために、日本の土木学会は 21 番目の TC として「学術・部門横断的アプローチによる災害に強い社会作り」委員会（TC21; Transdisciplinary Approach (TDA) for Building Societal Resilience to Disasters）（共同議長：竹内邦良、Romeo S. Momo）の設立を提案、これが ACECC 理事会で承認され、2016
年 8 月にハワイにおいて TC21 のキックオフミーティングが開催された。

TC21: Transdisciplinary Approach (TDA) for Building Societal Resilience to Disasters
Terms of Reference
1. Background
Disaster is a main constraint to sustainable development. Disasters cause not only the loss of
lives and assets but also heavy damage to the bases of economic growth. In particular, disaster
hampers poverty eradication, since poor people tend to live in disaster-prone areas and once
severe disasters strike, it is much harder for them to recover from the damage and loss caused bydisasters.
The international community has taken great efforts to reduce disaster risks for a long time.
One big achievement is to adopt the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030(Sendai Framework) at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held inMarch 2015 in Sendai, Japan. It was agreed that the State has the primary role to reduce disasterrisks but that responsibility should be shared with other stakeholders including local government,
the private sector and others 1 . The Sendai Framework also emphasizes the importance of
establishing and strengthening government coordination forums composed of relevant
stakeholders at the national and local levels, such as national and local platforms for disaster risk
reduction (DRR) 2.
During the cumulative discussions in international society on DRR, the roles of science andtechnology were also identified. It is especially critical to facilitate a science-policy interface for
effective decision-making in disaster risk management 3. It was also confirmed during the Tokyo
Conference on International Study for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience held in January
2015 in Tokyo, Japan that national platforms should be empowered as focal fora to incorporate
science and technology into real practice; and that science should play an important role in DRR
by promoting inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches for human well-being 4.
To enhance scientific knowledge-based decision-making on DRR, science and technology
community in each state should thus have sufficient capacity to provide relevant scientific andtechnological information and knowledge to national platforms in a timely and effective manner
through a transdisciplinary approach (TDA) where scientists of all disciplines and stakeholdersof all sectors work together for a common objective.
In this context, the Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) 5 decided toestablish the 21st Technical Committee (TC21) to support states to further develop their capacity
to enhance scientific knowledge-based decision-making on DRR through TDA.

5 The Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) consists of the Society/Institution/Association of Civil
Engineering in Asian Countries, and aims at promoting the acquisition and transfer of civil engineering knowledge foradvancing the design and construction practices that ultimately improve the quality of life of all citizens from ACECC member
countries.

2. Objectives
TC21 aims to promote the trans-disciplinary approach for scientific knowledge-based
decision-making for building societal resilience to disasters at national and local levels. In orderto achieve this aim, TC21 will(i)form National Teams in all member states

and together with them,(ii)

contribute to development of national capacity to realize TDA for scientificknowledge-based decision-making through case studies, comparative analyses,
methodological developments, guidelines, workshops, training courses, etc.,(iii)

3TC21: Transdisciplinary Approach (TDA) for Building Societal Resilience to Disasters
Concept Note
Resilience building against damaging effects of natural hazards is the indispensable step
towards sustainable development in any nation. It is obvious that in contemporary society
resilience building needs the best available scientific knowledge as the basis of decision-making.
Yet regardless of continuous accumulation of scientific knowledge on hazards and vulnerability,
it has not been well put to practice in real societal decision-making in disaster management.
While we note that important causative factors to disasters are related to the population growthwith urbanization and economic development, we believe that the societal policy anddecision-making process in disaster management is the decisive factor to be improved to solve
the increasingly serious disaster issues. Society should take a new approach that makes a holistic
and transformative approach possible. That is a transdisciplinary approach (TDA) wherescientists of all disciplines and stakeholders of all sectors work together for a common objective.
Therefore, the 21st Technical Committee (TC21) of ACECC was established to encourage the
ACECC members to further develop its capacity to enhance scientific knowledge-based
decision-making through TDA.

TC21 will focus on scientific knowledge-based
decision-making based on Transdisciplinary Approach

1. Site Surveys on April 19th
Observation of the damages to the historical buildings of former Prime Minister’s Office in Kathmandu
was made. Debris that fell from the walls and roofs were seen and some of the main columns had deformed,
exhibiting clear shear cracks (Photo 1). We understood that main issues are to decide whether the oldbuilding should be demolished and be replaced with modern buildings or to retrofit the building while
maintaining the historical architecture. Towards this end, significant efforts are spent by the National
Reconstruction Authority (NRA) in coordinating the differences in opinions of stakeholders. We
comprehended that scientific methods are needed in validating the visually evaluated conditions ofdamages and help making the decision.

Photo 1 TC21 members, Dr. Netra Prakash Bhandary and Dr. Senro Kuraoka, were participated in the interview bypress persons regarding the historical former Prime Minister’s Office buildings, which is under ongoing discussion
whether they should be conserved or demolished.

2. Technical survey in Chautara on April 21st
The TC21 team visited Chautara in Sindhupalchowk district to study the recovery status of after the
Gorka earthquake (25th April 2015). We met with Dr. Youb Raj Paudyal, Division Chief of DUDBC(Department of Urban Development and Building Construction) and his associates, who kindly hosted theTC21 team and briefed us regarding the status, design methods, and funding schemes for the reconstructionof the housing (Photo 2).

Dr. Youb Raj Paudyal, Division Chief of Department of Urban Development and Building Construction(DUDBC), Sindhupalchwok, made a presentation titled “Damage situation and reconstruction activities at
Sindhupalchowk district. Dr. Senro Kuraoka, secretariat of TC21, made presentation to describe why transdisciplinary
approach is needed.

DUDBC is collaborating with the village community, local NGOs, and international agencies to develop
the design and build the capacity as well as subsidy schemes to implement the reconstruction projects. The
basic design principle is to use the local resources and the indigenous knowledge, which is validated withthe modern engineering assessment. This approach is consistent with one of the guiding concepts stated in
Sendai Framework (2015-2030). The team of TC21 noted that these technical schemes are close to in-housedevelopment of DUDBC, with the help of international experts, and do not necessarily have formal
collaboration with the universities and national research agencies.

A technical survey in Bhaktapur, an ancient city in the east corner of the Kathmandu Valley, wasperformed on April 22nd with the supports of a lecturer and students of local university and college.
A number of buildings were damaged by the 2015 earthquake while some historical buildings such as
the five-story pagoda of the Nyatapola Temple built in 1702 remained less damaged. We also observed thatsome of the victims of 2015 earthquake still reside in temporary housings in difficult condition as shown in

TC21 internal meeting was held on April 23 among representatives from Taiwan, Indonesia, Japan,
Nepal, and Indonesia to share case studies from each member state and discuss about TC21 activities
toward CECAR8 (Photo 5). We agreed to work together to produce either a book or booklet as thedeliverables.

35. Reporting of TC21 Activities at the 32nd ACECC ECM
Co-Chair of TC21, Dr. Kuniyoshi Takeuchi and the secretariat, Dr. Senro Kuraoka, reported theactivities of TC21 since the last ACECC ECM, which included the site surveys in Tacloban and Ormoc
cities in the Leyte Island and the “Symposium: International Comparison of Scientific Knowledge-Based
Decision-Making Schemes for Disaster Reduction” held in Davao city, the Philippines in November 2016.
Dr. Takeuchi emphasized cooperation and participation from the member societies. Institution of Engineers,
Bangladesh (IEB) expressed their interest in participating in the TC21 activities.
As a part of activities of the ACECC ECM, a meeting with DRR stakeholders of Nepal and the TC21
symposium were performed on April 24 as described below.

5.1 Meeting with DRR Stakeholders of Nepal
On April 24 morning, a meeting between TC21 members and stakeholders of disaster risk reduction(DRR) in Nepal was performed as shown in Photo 6 with representatives from the Government of Nepal,
international agencies, academia, and NGOs including National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), Central
Level Project Implementation Unit of the Ministry of Urban Development (CLPIU-MOUD), Armed Police
Force (APF),

Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Programme of the United Nations Development

Programme (CDRMP/UNDP), Institute of Engineering of Tribhuvan University, and National Society ofEarthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET).
The participants shared present situation of DRR in Nepal and discussed how scientific knowledge
could be reflected in the decision-making processes of the government. A representative from APF
mentioned about the difficulty of coordination among agencies concerned for disaster preparedness. In
addition, an unsystematic situation of scientific knowledge transfer from academia to the government in
Nepal was pointed out.

5.2 TC21 Symposium“TC21 2nd Symposium on Scientific Knowledge-Based Decision-Making Schemes for Disaster
Reduction” took place on April 24 afternoon. There were 65 international delegates and more than 200
experts from Nepal participated in the symposium (Photo 7). The symposium commenced with thewelcome speech by Er. Hare Ram Shrestha, NEA President.
The symposium was comprised of three sessions. The first session started with the keynote speechentitled, “Efforts and challenges of recovery in Nepal from the 2015 Gorka Earthquake”, which wasdelivered by Er. Dipendra Nath Sharma, the Secretary of Ministry of Urban Development, Nepal. In thesecond session, presentations were made by the international members of TC21. For example, a good DRR
practice of Tacloban city in the Philippines was presented by the officer, Mr. Leonard Tedence A. Jopson,of Tacloban city government. The city, which was devastated by the storm surge in 2013, is under extensive
recovery projects. Mr. Jopson stated that “Build Back Better” principle is practiced, owing to thedevelopment of the livelihood projects concurrent with DRR activities. He also explained that an
institutional system is established such that scientific information of hazards and risks from the national
institutions can be provided to the city, who then will modify the information so that the local communities4

can understand and work with the city to better perform DRR. In the final third session, the panel
discussion regarding transdisciplinary approach to implement scientific knowledge-based decision-making
for disaster risk reduction was performed among presenters from Indonesia, Nepal, Japan, Pakistan, thePhilippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and a special guest, who is the representative of disaster cell of World
Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), Er. Ashok Kumar (Photo 8). Concluding remarks weremade by Dr. Takeuchi, stating that one of the factors impeding the DRR may be traced down to poverty
which in turn is closely related to practice of governance. Transdisciplinary approach will help improve thegovernance as it will not only help optimize the coordination but also make the decision-making processtransparent.
