Development and Implementation of "Communicative Survey" Methodsfor Supporting Citizen Participation

这项研究的主要目的包括开发新的社会调查方法，更多地面向与当地社区人民就减少灾害风险进行沟通和相互适应。我们共同的研究目标一直是将社区关注的问题可视化。我们将这些新的调查方法统称为“交际性调查”，但其严格的定义尚未形成。本研究始于2010学年。然后在2011年3月11日发生了东北大地震和海啸灾害。这场灾难对我们的研究产生了很大的影响，是降低灾害风险的一个重大转折点。因此，我们对我们的研究计划进行了一些调整，以解决新出现的问题。

The major purpose of this research includes development of new social survey methodsmore oriented towards communication with and mutual-adaptation to local community peopleabout disaster risk reduction. Our common research target has been directed to visualizingof concerns of communities. We named these new survey methods collectively“Communicative Survey,” its rigorous definition, however, has not yet been developed.This research started in the academic year 2010. Then the Tohoku Earthquake and TsunamiDisaster happened on the 11thof March 2011. This disaster had great impact on our researchand it was a big turning point for disaster risk reduction. Therefore we have made someadaptations to our research plan to address new emerging issues.
