Outline

The purpose of the symposium was to share the latest activities in overseas bases and detailed research findings gained from a two-year education and research activities in the research field of Health Risk Management under the Kyoto University Global COE Program "Global Center for Education and Research on Human Security Engineering for Asian Megacities" among the researchers and students who are specializing environmental engineering and health risk management, as well as to discuss these research findings from the viewpoints of civil engineering, architecture and architectural engineering and disaster prevention research in addition to environmental engineering to establish a new discipline, "Human Security Engineering" under the concept based on thoroughgoing on-field-oriented policies.
In the first part of the symposium, research results in the research field of Health Risk Management were presented. In the second part, panel discussions not only from the Health Risk Management but other research fields such as Urban Governance, Urban Infrastructure Management, and Disaster Risk Management were held to debate the goal of the research field of Health Risk Management for establishing "Human Security Engineering".

Report

The research activities and achievements at overseas bases such as Shenzhen and Hanoi from 12 research projects and 4 young researchers projects were reported in the first part of this symposium.
In the second part, 4 topics focused on the research and education activities in Shenzhen and Hanoi were presented from the research fields of the Urban Governance, Urban Infrastructure Management, and Disaster Risk Management. In the subsequent panel discussion, the following issues were debated from 4 research fields,
Viewpoints: 1) How to integrate our studies in a practical form that area oriented towards solving problems as well as on-field-oriented policies
2) How we should pursue and develop the academic discipline as health risk management in the field of "Human Security Engineering".
