SustainabilitySafety and SecurityTwin main visions: “Sustainability” and “Safety and Security”HumansDepartment of Social and Human Environment(Humanities and Social Sciences)SustainabilitySafety/SecurityTimeThe provision of safe and stable living conditions is the basis of human happiness. Studying “Safety and Security” is one approach to the creation of a safe environment for human life. One aim of this approach is to form a social system harmonized with the environment by carrying out modifications to the urban environment. The other aim is to conduct studies to help develop a society which is safe from various natural or man-made disasters and criminal acts. Moreover, our researchers in science, engineering and the humanities conduct collaborative research on crisis management, to cope with the possible case of a gigantic disaster, which may exceed the tolerance level of society.NatureDepartment of Earth and Environmental Sciences(Natural Science)Aiming to realize a new human society in harmony with the global environment, the Graduate School of Environmental Studies embraces twin fundamental visions as its central concepts. Within this framework, “Safety/Security” represents the static balance between natural and the built environments, while “Sustainability” represents their dynamic maintenance.MaterialsDepartment of EnvironmentalEngineering and Architecture(Engineering)The problem of global warming has become increasingly serious, and is expected to result in extreme natural disasters, especially in Asia, due to the region’s expanding population and accelerating economic growth. Therefore, in order to act as a center of environmental studies in Asia, we cultivate researchers and business people capable of becoming international leaders, who possess a broad understanding of global environmental issues. We have invited Prof. Ernst von Weizsacker, a German scientist, and several other prominent researchers from around the world to act as our affiliated professors in order to conduct systematic research on global environmental issues in accordance with the vision of “Sustainability”.
