{"c_title":"[M2102.000300] Disaster and Ecological Restoration Field Lab","c_info":"3 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Doctoral | Interdisciplinary Program in Landscape Architecture","c_summary":"This class, convergence science, focusing on Asia regions, studies restoration planning processes and scientific analysis methods on natural disaster. In recent years, frequency and magnitude of extreme weather regarded to be growing. In line with that, occurrence and its damage are also reported to growing. Especially, due to the increased natural disasters in summer such as typhoon, landslide, and torrential rains, Asia regions are now having economic loss and lots of casualties. To adapt those situations, Asia regions put their efforts to build infrastructures including dam, drainage and erosion-control walls. However, those practices have been criticized because of their requirement of much money, destruction of nature and limited effectiveness for just once of time. Therefore, this study aims to discuss planning and practicing methods to build adaptation plan based on environmental restoration mechanism, but not focusing on adaptation plan with regard to civil engineering or soil conservation engineering. Particularly, the class puts a strong emphasis on environmental restoration, which supports coordination with nature and method not harming ecosystem, to understand environmental restoration\u2019s actual effectiveness."}
