Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study tried to develop a multi-hazards disaster risk index in order for promoting restructuring national land use. Our initial plan was to integrate seismic hazard risk information developed and distributed by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,　Science, and Technology (MEXT), and flood risk information by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT). These two hazard risks, however, are hard to integrate because of the difference between the concept of probability of occurrence. Thus we tried an alternative approach, inducing risk index by inductive (empirical) analysis using the actual disaster damage data. Although we have not obtained a final outcome, it is anticipated to gain an plausible outcome along with existing risk theories.
