Preface
Flooding, tsunami, and earthquake are important natural disaster issues for local people to understand the disaster process and to make evacuation method and reconstruction method in discussion in each local participant. The disaster mitigation research is needed for us to continue to better living together in nature. The geographers have been discussing natural disaster science and finding out the appropriate methodology of disaster mitigation program with disaster risk assessment and hazard mapping or risk mapping. Utilizing geographical information system and satellite remote sensing, the current situation of hazardous regions has been clarified and visualized in the global scale and the resuscitation or restoration process in local scale after natural disaster has been discussed with geographical views. In geographical view, natural disaster should be dealt with more comprehensive between human dimensions, including social science, human science, psychology under natural disaster, gender, and minority science in natural disaster, and physical dimensions including geomorphology, climatology, vegetation geography, and hydrology in integration. Human dimension of disaster science is the important analysis process for clarification toward future regional planning both urban and rural coupling for disaster m
