Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Students learn about environmental issues, what risks are from disaster prevention, how to obtain them, and how to overcome future risks. Through this lecture, the goal is to acquire the basic knowledge of risk management and the ability to think about future risks from multiple perspectives.
Students learn the history of disasters, past, present, and future risks, and disaster prevention measures. They acquire the ability to think from multiple angles and deepen understanding through group work. The students must submit a report assignment after the final lecture. |
