地区防災計画学会 The Japan Society of Community Disaster Management Plan

Mission

地区防災計画学会は「地区防災計画」の研究に関する学術学会。

「地区防災計画ガイドライン」は、地域住民、事業者、学識経験者、行政関係者等産学官の多数の関係者の協力を得て作成された。そのようなこともあり、「地区防災計画制度」を普及させていくに当たり、関係者が制度に関するノウハウを交換したり、先進事例について理解を深めるような場がほしいという要望が多数あった。 そこで、地区防災計画に係る普及啓発、調査研究等を行い、地域防災力の向上や地域コミュニティの活性化、まちづくり等に資することを目的として、産学官のメンバーによって、地区防災計画学会が創設されることになった。

In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the limitations of the government's activities, and the importance of "mutual-help" in collaboration with local municipalities became apparent. Consequently, the Cabinet Office amended the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law in June 2013, and created the "Community Disaster Management Plan" (CDMP), a plan for disaster management activities by businesses and residents of local communities. From the perspective of social capital, disaster management activities based on the CDMP will lead to local community participation in town planning, even during the preliminary reconstruction phase.

"Community Disaster Management Plan guidelines" were created through the cooperation of specialists including many local residents, business people, academics, and government officials. Experts were considering the establishment of a meeting on CDMP. For the purpose of raising awareness of the CDMP, research of the CDMP, improvement of the local disaster management force, activation of the local community, community development, experts have created "The Japan Society of Community Disaster Management Plan" (SCDMP).
