THE SECOND JAPAN-CHINA JOINT WORKSHOP
THE SECOND JAPAN-CHINA JOINT WORKSHOP ON
PREDICTION AND MITIGATION OF SEISMIC RISK
IN URBAN REGIONS
Saturday 14 November - Monday 16 November 1998
Hikone,Japan
Organized
by
Disaster Prevention Research lnstitute,Kyoto University
and
School of Environmental Science,University of Shiga Prefecture
Purpose:
The aim of this workshop is to discuss the
Prediction and Mitigation of Seismic Risk in Urban
Regions based on the recent catastrophic disasters in both
countries,and to determine the type of research necessary
to address the above problems in the 21st century.This
year is the final year of this program and the DPRl project.
Final conclusions must be introduced in this discussion.
Organization:
