Outline of Final Research Achievements

Firstly, this research analyzed building collapse risk of Tokyo based on the statistical data of housing and land survey of Japan, and clarified and visualized a long-term change of the urban risk in order to solve regional problems on disaster risk reduction. Secondly, information of architecture and urban design for disaster risk reduction, such as traditional architectures preservation districts, townscape, and landscape, was collected based on literature and field surveys. Arranged by systematic scheme of the disaster life cycle, including (1) mitigation, (2) preparedness, (3) response, and (4) recovery, the collected information was organized by dataset of place, name, purpose, type of objective disasters, construction period, and scale, in Architecture and Urban Design for Disaster Risk Reduction Database.
