S18 Earthquake Disaster Mitigation on Non-engineered Houses
Description:
Each of large scale earthquakes causes serious damages to human societies with enormous number of loss of lives and the injured especially in developing countries. We experienced Central Java Earthquake in 2006, Northern Pakistan Earthquake in 2005 and Off Sumatra Earthquake in 2004, which reminded us that mitigation of disasters is one of the most urgent tasks for research community and the main cause is collapse of non-engineered houses.
Many efforts have been done concerning earthquake disaster mitigation such as survey & analysis of disasters, recommendations for “Build Back Better”, reconstruction & rehabilitation programs. I propose a special session on “Earthquake Disaster Mitigation on Non-engineered houses” to exchange of information, lessons and recommendations, and to discuss with experts in various fields relevant to disaster mitigation. The session should cover not only structural aspect but also relevant fields such as dissemination of technologies, education for disaster prevention, risk management, risk assessment, policy studies for disaster mitigation.
