Abstract:
The Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo worked on Crisis Response Studies as a four-year, institute-wide project starting in 2016. Social Science of Crisis Thinking is a new academic discipline that examines the mechanisms and countermeasures for various crises that occur in society from a social science perspective. Based on the results of the project and the Social Science of Crisis Thinking Survey conducted as part of the project, this report considers what is needed to ensure that appropriate responses are made in advance to crises caused by serious natural disasters.
