Outline of Final Research Achievements

After the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, many local governments in Japan initiated implementation of various social networking services such as Facebook to complement their operations. Social networking services provide up-to-date information and also provide two-way communication. This can enhance civic participation and can also provide a back-channel for communication during disasters such as earthquakes. This study evaluated how local governments in Japan can use social networking services for disaster management and disaster prevention. Ibaraki prefecture was chosen as the key-case for this study as local governments experienced severe disruptions to their services. This study evaluated two-way communication activities and also the possibilities and problems that accompany social networking service usage for disaster management. The study also suggests an effective method for implementation of social networking services among local municipalities in Japan.
