The GADRI (Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes) geohazard group meeting provides the unique
opportunity to discuss present status and future tasks for GEMINI* implementation (see below). One of themost important common strategy for geo-disaster mitigation is hazard mapping, thus we would like to start thediscussion on the methodology of geohazard mapping and scope of social application of geohazard maps.
Susceptible areas to geohazards are time varying due to the long-term phenomena such as regional tectonics
and climate change, and also short-term processes such as precipitation and earthquake shaking. In otherwords, hazard mapping in the next generation could be made in conjunction with spatial and temporal
prediction of geo-disaster. In this meeting, practically applied methodologies of hazard mapping will bepresented and discussed, from which we will find our road map toward the most appropriate mapping ofgeohazards and social application of such hazard maps.
*GEMINI: Geohazard mitigation on the new innovation in science and engineering (see Fig for the concept)
GEMINI is a project proposed by the GADRI Geohazard Group for developing, sharing, and generalizing
the strategy for geohazard mitigation. The project unites updated scientific understanding of earth surface
processes and latest technology in geotechnical engineering. In this approach, the inseparable twins of scienceand engineering collaborate tightly to create comprehensive way for spatial and temporal prediction ofgeohazards, risk assessment in potential sites of geo-disaster, and countermeasures against human, social andeconomic damages. Since geohazards have various aspects with varying phenomena, such as landslides,
debris flow, soil erosion, liquefaction, settlement, in both natural and artificial geomaterials, their research
approaches also varies in many scientific and engineering fields. This project searches new coupling ofexisting knowledge and techniques, and also explores implementation of new methodology for geohazard
mitigation. Workshops held by the GADRI framework will help host occasion for discussion, establish theconnection between researches and institutes, and promote joint researches for this GEMINI collaboration.

Points to be discussed todayGaps between science, engineeringand society (or local community).

How can we fill the gaps and makebridges for geo-disaster mitigation?

Role of scientific, engineering andsocial researches.

Toward risk map from hazard map.

Application to developing regions.

Direction and next steps of GEMINI.
