Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research examines organizational accidents and disasters in the modern era and clarifies the mechanisms involved for future decision-making toward our sustainable society. The energy issue, which played a role in the Fukushima nuclear disaster, is an especially serious problem for Japanese society. Meanwhile, vital infrastructure for the supply of water, gas, and electricity is aging and the pensions, welfare, healthcare, and other social systems are also breaking down. In response, the present work demonstrates how we have checked the underlying organizational systems pathologies, and explores potential ‘resilience management’ and policy-making for sustainable development in Japan or global eco-civilization.
