A Comparative Study of Earthquake Emergency Management Systems

自1995年以来，山川(政治学)、池田(法学)、高木(社会心理学)和山田(建筑工程)合作研究了日本、美国和中国的防震减灾政策。我们的教育部1998~2000年计划是该小组工作的继续。我们每月定期召开一次研修会，并就神户市和兵库县从阪神-旭日地震中恢复的情况进行了两次调查研究。1998年，山川发表了一篇英文论文，根据罕见的对村山先生的直接采访，澄清了村山首相的应急管理活动。在这篇文章中，他还批评了日本政府应急管理体系的弱点。之后，2000年，他对政府对地震预报信息的反应类型进行了分类，并提出了日本现行大型地震灾害管理体制的去中心化。池田于1999年在中国讲授日本建筑规章法，2001年撰写了一篇关于为灾民房屋重建提供公共财政援助的论文。高木对灾害志愿者活动进行了社会心理调查，最近发表了一篇关于志愿者通过灾难志愿者活动经历而发生变化的论文。1998年和1999年，山田-2000年3月退休的关西大学-分析了北岭地震和阪神-河间地震灾害的案例。他还写了几篇关于改造现在非法的破旧建筑的政策的论文。

Since 1995, Yamakawa (political science), Ikeda (jurisprudence), Takagi (social psychology), and Yamada (architectural engineering) have cooperatively studied the earthquake disaster mitigation policy of Japan, USA, and China. Our 1998〜2000 project of the Ministry of Education ＆ Science is a continuation of the group work. We regularly opened study meetings once a month, and conducted two survey researches on the recovery of Kobe City and Hyogo Prefecture from Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster.Yamakawa, in 1998, published a English paper which clarified the emergency management activities of Prime Minister Murayama based on the rare direct interview with Mr. Murayama. In this paper, he also criticized weak points of Japanese governmental emergency management system. After that, in 2000, he classified the types of the governmental response to earthquake prediction information, and proposed a de-centralization of present Japanese management system for the large scale earthquake disaster.Ikeda, in 1999, lectured on the Japanese building regulation law in China, and in 2001 he wrote a paper on the public financial aid for the sufferers' house reconstruction.Takagi conducted socio-psychological surveys on the disaster volunteer activities, and recently published a paper on the attidudal change of volunteers through disaster volunteer activity experiences.In 1998 and 1999, Yamada-retired Kansai University on March 2000-analysed the case of the Northridge and the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disasters. And he wrote several papers on the policy to retro-fit old weak buildings now illegal.
