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。我们的工作于1998年4月出版了《公共部门OR手册》（翻译自运筹学和管理科学手册）。这本书包含了OR技术在一般公共部门的各种应用，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。调查中还描述了建模的公式化技术。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。Oyama，T.“数学建模分析和基本公式化技术”，日本OR学会通讯，19982年4月。Oyama，T.“Shortest path problems and related matters”，Communications of OR Society of Japan，12，1997.第一篇论文综述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。它还包括数学建模技术的应用前景。第二篇论文讨论最短路径问题，包括理论及其在大都市地区交通问题中的应用。罗纳德哈夫教授调查了美国政府组织FEMA的未来目标和问题。Nicholas Hall教授提出了一种新的建模技术来解决资源定位分配问题。Leslie Trotter教授为网络系统优化问题开发了一种新的解决方案。

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.
