Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we analyzed the future images of war disasters in Tokyo and New York during World War II and the Cold War from the perspective of historical sociology. Images of future war disasters were created in wartime cities, and each city appeared to have a different image. First, through research at the archives in Tokyo and New York, we collected materials that were related to the civil defense system during the war and records that anticipated future war disasters at that time. Consequently, this study found that the civil defense system in Tokyo was established with an emphasis on communality, whereas in New York, it was established with an emphasis on publicity. Further, the study indicated that the civil defense system influenced the future war disaster images of each city. Thus, it showed the effectiveness of a sociological analysis of the future, through the experience of the past.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

社会の中で未来の戦争災害がどのように予期されているのか、また、未来の戦争災害イメージは社会にどのような影響を及ぼしているのかについて明らかにする本研究は、未来に起こり得る社会の危機について社会学的に調査研究するという新たな研究領域を切り開くものであると考えられる。また、本研究の成果が社会に広く公開されることによってそれは、戦争災害に限らず自然災害やテロなどを含めた将来起こり得る社会の危機に対して私たちはどのように備えることができるのかについての社会的な理解を深めるものとなると考えられる。
