  • Smart management of infrastructure construction and maintenance
  • Controlling effects of intensifying natural disasters (disaster prevention / mitigation)
  • Research center for disaster countermeasures that contributes to the community by utilizing big data including information obtained from citizens

There are growing concerns among citizens over recent intensifying natural disasters that have caused tremendous damage to aging facilities and infrastructure. As a disaster countermeasure research base, we are working to build a framework to connect civic groups with the university and thus support the community by delivering academic information to the civilian world.
