・ シンポジウムの目的概要

BackgroundAchieving sustainable and risk-resilient societies against unexpected events such asnatural hazards, technological accidents, environmental risks, man-made hazards andpandemic diseases is becoming growing concerns in the world. Ongoing economicdevelopments in many parts of the East Asia region cause the rapid concentration ofboth population and economic assets on urban areas, which make a global society
becomes more vulnerable against the above-mentioned unexpected events.
With a view to addressing the above issues, the Disaster Prevention ResearchInstitute (DPRI), of Kyoto University and the Institute of Policy and Management,
Chinese Academy of Sciences have been taking collaborative initiatives to holdannual scientific meetings and repeatedly exchanged academic knowledge andmethodologies between Japan and China. The first seminar was held on May 24-26,
2005 in Beijing, China, the second on July 7-8, 2006 in Uji, Japan, and the third on
Aug. 30- Sep. 2, 2007 in Jiangsu, China. In this year, the DPRI takes the role toorganize the forth seminar in Kyoto, Japan, from Dec. 20-21, 2008. This meeting iscosponsored by Kyoto University’s Global Center for Education and Research on“Global Center for Education and Research on Human Security Engineering for
Asian Megacities, which is just to synchronize the timing of this year’s Japan-China

seminar.

Scope
This seminar intends to exchange academic knowledge and methodologies for
reducing disaster and environmental risks as well as for achieving sustainable
management of cities and regions. For this purpose, the conference agenda arecomposed of wide areas of themes and issues, i.e., Methodologies for disaster and environmental risk analysis and management, Methodologies for modeling and analysis of social vulnerability, including social
capital, human capital and production capital,
 Policy analysis of disaster and environmental risk management, Methodologies for community-based disaster/environmental risk management, Methodologies forenvironmental risks,managing

The Organizer hopes that this modest-scale seminar will provide a productive andactive exchange of ideas and thoughts between the two countries.
・シンポジウムの様子，得られた成果
本シンポジウムでは，災害・環境リスク下における都市・地域の持続可能性を考慮したマネジメント政策をテーマに，方法論から実証分析まで幅広い分野の研究発表が行われた．
合計 35 件にわたる研究発表の中では，その対象は様々である一方で、リスクマネジメントという共通の枠組みの中で分野横断的な発表および討議が繰り広げられた．特に，研究成果 を い か に 実 践 可 能 な (implementable) な 政 策 と し て 実 現 し て い く か ， 実 践 適 応 科 学(Implementation Science)としての政策科学をどう実現していくか，に関して参加者の間で問題意識を共有化できた点は大変意義深く考えている．また，本シンポジウムの翌日には，中国側の招聘者に対して，人と防災未来センター等，阪神淡路大震災の爪痕の残る場所へのツアーが実施された．経験の共有化，理解の深化が行われた点も大変意義深く考えている．来年度は，中国での開催を予定している．
