BACKGROUND In recent years, natural disasters and the accompanying health risks have become more frequent, and rehabilitation work has become an important part of government performance. On one hand, social networks play an important role in participants' therapeutic community participation and physical & mental recovery. On the other hand, therapeutic communities with widespread participation ...

Mixed or Augmented Reality (AR) systems align computer generated virtual objects and real world objects with each other to enhance the vision of the physical reality with the virtual objects in a manner, that will allow a user to interact with spatial data in his natural environment and scale (1:1). Especially when dealing with natural disasters the advantage of a user’s view augmented with add...

BACKGROUND Many local workers have been involved in rescue and reconstruction duties since the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) on March 11, 2011. These workers continuously confront diverse stressors as both survivors and relief and reconstruction workers. However, little is known about the psychological sequelae among these workers. Thus, we assessed the prevalence of and personal/workplace...

Residents’ satisfaction with post-disaster reconstruction in earthquake-stricken areas directly affects their quality of life, which cannot be ignored reconstruction. More than 10 years after the Wenchuan earthquake, we took ten randomly selected villages five hardest-hit by earthquake as research objects and obtained 483 valid completed questionnaires. The villagers were sampled descriptive st...

With digital information technology based on limited data, disaster simulation review is an important guideline for analyzing mechanisms, planning post-disaster reconstruction, and improving defense capability. Taking the “7.20” flash flood in Wangzongdian river basin as a research area, hydrological-hydrodynamic model was established using measured data. The results showed that extreme rainsto...

The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami struck the northeastern coastal area of on 11 March 2011, resulting in relocation 329,000 households repair 572,000 houses. Previous studies predominantly addressed impact demographic factors housing recovery. However, types recoveries individual psycho-behavioral have been poorly addressed. This study examined survivors’ personality-trait using a dis...

Planned and involuntary resettlement after natural disasters has been a major policy in post-disaster reconstruction in developing countries over the past few decades. Studies show that resettlement can result in significant adverse impacts on the resettled population. Conversely, a well-planned and managed resettlement process can produce positive long-term development outcomes. This article p...

An under-sea earthquake near the west coast of Northern Sumatra set off a series of other earthquakes in December 2004 and led to a widespread disaster, Tsunami 2004. Sri Lanka faced one of the worst natural disasters with a large proportion of losses in housing and infrastructure. The developing countries are less able to face the impacts of disasters and so it is imperative to develop the inf...

Flood is one of the annual disasters in many places. It has not been well-managed yet both pre-disaster and post-disaster. Image processing machine learning are commonly utilized for disaster management systems such as forecasting any potential flood by monitoring water level rivers dams. However, it a limited framework to be implemented strategic plan management. Thus, this study aims develop ...
