1 Disaster Reduction Hyperbase (DRH) - DRH Now to DRH tomorrow - 8TH IIASA-DPRI FORUM ON INTEGRATED DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION AND MULTI-DISCIPLINARITY 1-2 September 2008 Villa Porro Pirelli, Induno Olona, Varese, Italy Hiroyuki Kameda DRH Project PI Visiting Researcher, NIED Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University

2 Contents 1. DRH Framework ("Implementation Technology" compilation and dissemination) 2. DRH Now (DRH web system, DRH contents, and call for DRH contents proposals) 3. Progress since Stresa, 2007 (Conceptual developments, events, activities, etc.) 4. DRH Tomorrow (DRH web system enhancement, DRH dissemination, next phase projects and activities)

3 1. DRH Framework ("Implementation Technology" compilation and dissemination) * What is DRH? + A web-based facility + To disseminate appropriate disaster risk reduction technology and knowledge + To deal with multi hazard disaster reduction + To aid disaster reduction policy in two ways: developing & industrial countries "Hyperbase" because: * Widened definition of technology "implementation technology" (IOT, PT, TIK) * Two-way information flow: developing & industrial countries

4 * What are useful technology and knowledge for DRR? Implementation technology + Implementation oriented technology (IOT): Outputs from modern R&D that are practiced under clear implementation strategies + Process technology (PT): Know-how for implementation and practice, capacity building and social development for knowledge ownership + Transferable indigenous knowledge (TIK): Traditional art of disaster reduction that is indigenous to specific region (s) but having potential to be applied to other regions and having time-tested reliability

5 *Specific examples Modern high-techs are fine as far as they are implementation oriented. Remote sensing, GIS, base isolation, structural control, İzmit etc. Such as Gölcük Adapazarı 30 km

7 GIS (RARMIS-based) used for post-earthquake reconstruction management (Duzce, Turkey) source: Kakumoto, EDM-NIED

8 But... We should not forget non-high-tech, but useful technologies and knowledge, where Cultural context is important Bottom-up efforts are needed Such as

*Inexpensive, no "high-tech" required *Design guideline developed through lab tests and numerical simulation

32 DRH Project Activities page Ver , Davos The DRH Projects were conducted as a major arena for important conceptual as well as practical developments to realize DRH and for compilation of DRH Contents. Establishing and coordinating international networks was an essential element of DRH activities. DRH Project Activities Go to DRH Project activities & documents *Major concepts developed through the DRH Project activities include: + "Implementation Technology" (IOT, PT, TIK) + DRH Criteria (Overall [understandable, doable, useful]; and specific [IOT, PT, TIK]) + DRH Template Attributes of DRH (3+1 structure) +Three Major Components adopted in Tsukuba Resolution 2006 and evolved in new names (parentheses) DRH Database ( Find technologies) DRH Forum ( Propose a technology, Discuss technology) DRH Links ( DRH partners) + "Plus-one" Major Component DRH Project =All information regarding the principle of DRH development as well as conceptual elaboration are available here. Note: Adjustments are needed to maintain consistency with general design pattern styles

33 *DRH dissemination +Direct approach through DRH member practitioners +Academic Conferences=WCEE, SEE, IDRiM, etc. +Regional Conferences=APEC-ISTWG, ASEAN COST+3, ACDR, etc. +Network links=prevention Web, DRH Links (w. syndication mechanism), etc. + network forum=radix, ENDRR-L, etc. *International recognition +Raising intensive for contribution to DRH Contents +Quality assurance

34 *Next phase projects and activities A Summary: DRH values * Major accomplishments in the on-going DRH-Asia project (July 2006-March 2009): "shared treasures" (1) A web-system unique in functions and sustainability: DRH Database, DRH Forum, and DRH Links / contents proposal-facilitation-registration procedure, multilingual search, guided links to other initiatives, open source enabling sustainable enhancement, etc. (2) DRH contents featuring "Implementation Technology": consisting of Implementation oriented technology (IOT), Process technology (PT), and Transferable indigenous knowledge (TIK) / straightforward DRH Criteria and DRH Template

35 (3) International human network: participated by champions in NGO practitioners and motivated researchers (4) Policy background: implementation of HFA, collaboration with ISDR, ASEAN+3, APEC, etc. (5) Contributions to a new scientific development = "Implementation science" / CASiFiCA-DRH collaboration

36 Proposed frame to make DRH more LIVELY and USEFUL (1) Strategy: + Contribution to international (Asian) disaster reduction database initiative + Actions and development to reduce (close) gaps between knowledge and field + Value adding to DRH (2) Ideas for next phase DRH-based activities: + Monitoring and practice by field practitioners on DRH contents: co-works by stakeholders and DRH providers (pilot activities and case studies) + Feed-back to system enhancement development

37 + Extension to hydrological disaster and climate change impact (UNESCO IHP project) + Bridging different cultural backgrounds through alliance of regional DRH systems: DRH-Asia, DRH Europe/Africa, or national DRH developments such as DRH-China, Iran, Nepal, Japan, etc. + Next generation promotion through linkage with fieldbased academic community + Development of 2nd generation DRH: a software platform based on "spatial-temporal database" (resource available) that enables the DRH information be handled with regional clarities and with flexible interface managements
