Institutional Recommendations to Improve Follow-up Management Systems of Disaster Impact Assessment

Abstract

This study proposes an improvement plan of follow-up management systems to the current Disaster Impact Assessment System (DIAS), which has been insufficiently addressed in previous research, which is made especially clearthrough an analysis of results of the implementation status check over the last five years. Legal and institutional recommendations are as follows: 1) Providing adequate training on the management method of consultation comments to a project owner/superintendent of consultation content; 2) Strictly enforcing laws and regulations that were strengthened as of October 2018, especially regarding fines, and offering incentives for outstanding workplaces and people in charge of projects; and 3) Establishing legal grounds to clearly designate post-management director personnel for disaster reduction facilities after completion of construction. Recommendations in terms of operation and management are as follows: 1) Improving an action plan form; 2) Adding a maintenance register form to Form 2 of the Enforcement Rules; and 3) Supplying a manual for consultation content management to project operators. This study is meaningful in that it suggests an effective improvement plan by focusing on the follow-up management aspect of DIAS, which have not previously been discussed.
