矢守教授より(日本語)

矢守研究室は、完全な理系・文系融合の研究室です。教授の矢守は博士(人間科学)、助教の中野は博士(情報学)の学位をそれぞれもっていることからもそれはわかります。学生さんの出身学部も、工学部、理工学部、総合人間学部、人間科学部、経済学部、外国語学部、教育学部など、実に多様です。出身学部や学部時代に学んだことにこだわらず、分野を横断して大きなスケールで勉強しようという意欲をもった学生さんに研究室の門を叩いてもらえればと願っています。研究室のもう一つの大きな特徴は、「実践的に考え、理論的にふるまう(Think practically, act theoretically)」を合い言葉に、理論面の鍛錬と現場への密着、あくまでもこの「両方」を追求しようという姿勢です。研究室の主要な研究課題である防災・減災あるいは復旧・復興は、実社会との密着度が高い分野です。でも、だからこそ、研ぎ澄まされた理論をもってアプローチしないと、常識的で通り一遍の知識しか生み出せません。思いっきり抽象的で概念的なことと、思いっきり具体的で実際的なこと、水と油に分離してしまいそうなこの2つをどちらも手放さずに前に進んでいく。その困難な道のりを共に歩んでくれる仲間を絶賛募集中です。

Messages from Professor Yamori(English)

A major domain of Professor Yamori’s laboratory is integrated disaster risk management. The challenges that societies face in disaster risk management are complex and cross traditional disciplinary lines. Through an integrated and collaborative approach, the laboratory engages in interdisciplinary research to meet these challenges. The diverse disciplines of our professors and graduate students reflect our commitment to interdisciplinary research. Professor Katsuya Yamori obtained his Ph.D. in psychology, and Assistant Professor Genta Nakano obtained his Ph.D. in Informatics. Departments from which masters and doctoral course students have graduated are also very diverse and include science, engineering, human science, economics, foreign languages, and education.

Our interdisciplinary research addresses all phases of the disaster risk management cycle including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The geographical scope of our research includes projects throughout Japan and international projects in Korea, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, Iceland, United States, and Mexico. Our graduate students and postgraduate researchers have represented diverse countries including  Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Austria, Iceland, United States, Mexico, and Brazil.

Meeting the challenges of disaster risk management in diverse locations requires simultaneously pursuing both a strong theoretical grounding and relevant practical implementation in our research. This integration of theory and implementation is captured in the phrase “think theoretically, act practically.” Our research bridges high-end conceptual and theoretical considerations with high-quality practical actions to realize more fruitful integrated disaster risk management.

We are always recruiting members for our lab who share our commitment to research that is interdisciplinary, addresses all phases of disaster risk management is national and international in scope and integrates theory and practice. The reward of this research is knowing that our work has the potential to increase the safety and well-being of many people in many locations around the world that face threats from natural and human-caused hazards.
