Japan-US joint research on risk management of the social system during the emergency period

我们调查了数学建模技术在解决公共部门出现的各种问题中的应用。我们的工作在1998年4月出版了《公共部门OR手册》（译自《运筹学与管理科学手册》）。这本书包含了各种类型的OR技术在一般公共部门的应用，包括应急设施选址问题，风险预测和管理，危险设施选址问题，环境质量管理，一般问题和指南，建模分析等。在调查中还描述了建模的制定技术，这将有助于我们建立自己的模型来解决公共部门出现的各种问题。我们发表了几篇与数学建模技术相关的论文，如1。, T。“数学模型分析和基本公式技术”，日本OR学会通讯，19982年第4期。, T。“最短路径问题和有关事项”，日本OR协会通讯，1997年12月。第一篇论文调查了系统分析中使用的各种数学建模技术，主要集中在网络建模公式上。并对数学建模技术的应用前景进行了展望。第二篇论文讨论了最短路径问题，包括理论及其在城市交通问题中的应用。罗纳德·赫夫调查了美国政府机构联邦应急管理局未来的目标和问题。Nicholas Hall教授提出了一种新的求解资源定位分配问题的建模技术。Leslie Trotter教授开发了一种解决网络系统优化问题的新方法。

We surveyed applications of mathematical modeling techniques to solving various problems appearing in public sectors. Our work came out as "Public Sector OR Handbook" (Translation from Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science) in April, 1998. This book contains various types of applications of OR techniques to general public sectors including emergency facility location problems, risk forecasting and management, hazardous facility location problems, quality management of environments, problems and guideline for general ,modeling analyses, and so on. Formulation techniques for modeling are also described in the survey, which will help us building our own models to solve various problems appearing in public sectors.We published several papers related to mathematical modeling techniques such as 1. Oyama, T. "Mathematical modeling analyses and basic formulation techniques", Communications of OR Society of Japan, 4, 19982. Oyama, T. "Shortest path problems and related matters", Communications of OR Society of Japan, 12, 1997.The first paper surveys various mathematical modeling techniques used in systems analyses mainly focused on network modeling formulation. It also includes future prospects for the application of mathematical modeling techniques. The second paper deals with shortest path problems including theory and its application to traffic problems in the metropolitan areas.Prof. Ronald Huff surveyed US governmental organization FEMA with its future targets and problems. Prof. Nicholas Hall proposed a new modeling technique for solving resource location-allocation problems. Prof. Leslie Trotter developed a new solution technique for network systems optimization problems.
