Land usage management that takes into account flood damage risks

Graduate School of Disaster Resilience and Governance

Professor Michiko Baba

I am conducting research into a method in which land use aims to enrich the lives of people while reducing flood damage. The method involves comprehensive and mutual use of physical and organizational countermeasures, city planning, and social systems regarding land use.

Also, part of my research concerns the roles that various entities involved have in reducing damage and protecting the lives and living environments of people.
