N2 - Lying on one of the world’s most active seismic faults, Japan faces the continuous threat of natural disasters. The earthquake that struck eastern Japan on March 11, 2011, and the devastating tsunami, raised many very serious questions about this country’s land and its disaster prevention and disaster reduction strategies for resilience. Disaster-related losses cause short- as well as long-term adverse effects on the economy, society, health, culture, and the environment. Then, resilient infrastructure with less cost will be hoped for. The resilience of infrastructures and the built environment are long-term issues. This means cooperation is required with the government, municipalities, and other related organs to ensure network continuity so that the different organizations can cooperate smoothly. In Japan, the events of March 11, 2011, highlighted the need for the related government agencies, municipalities, research organizations, and universities to work together in formulating and implementing a holistic and comprehensive policy approach for resilience.
