Risk Management Research Group

Development of public risk management concepts for safety issues

Research purposes
The risks associated with life in modern society take many various forms, such as global environmental problems, medical issues, food safety, largescale accidents, terrorism, natural disasters, and security issues associated with the information and social infrastructures. However, the task of improving the safety and security of society intrinsically requires a complex structure, since the implementation of risk management occurs through complex interactions among the national government, local government, private enterprise, the populace, NPOs, and other bodies,. The objectives of this research group are to clarify the interactions among the different bodies and to develop risk management concepts appropriate for solving various safety-related social issues, taking into consideration the maintenance of fairness and efficiency in society. Thus, the group aims to establish risk management for the entire society -“public risk management”
