日本における災害研究ハンドブックハンドブック
（Paola Cavaliere, Junko Otani 編)
New
東日本大震災から14年が経過し、日本では災害・防災に関する研究が以前より盛んにおこなわれるようになっています。本書は21世紀の日本における災害の概念・意味・経験の重要な問いを投げかけるハンドブックです。本書における中心的なテーマ及び指針となる理論的視点となっているのは、災害における人的要素の認識です。過去30年間にわたる日本の災害研究の進化と、コンテクスト的災害政策の変化及び社会的プロセスは、災害研究のための実証的な分野が変化していることを示しています。こうした変化が、学際的分野としての災害の社会学への関心を高めているのです。
本書は「レンズ」「人間の活動」「災害の経験」という全3部構成で、日本における災害研究を様々な側面から考察した40の章から構成されています。
本書を日本研究、行政、災害研究などに関心を持つ研究者・研究室にお勧めいたします。
