Disaster, Risk and
Sustainable Community

Having made a round since 2008, by taking turns among Associations of Environmental Sociology in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China, a second turn of Japanese Association of Environmental Sociology (JAES) comes up again in November 2015 in Sendai, Japan. Co-hosting with RC24, JAES holds the 5th International Symposium on Environmental Sociology in East Asia (ISESEA-5) with the theme of Disaster, Risk and Sustainable Community. We will address what the disasters and other various risks of our societies question as we attempt to construct sustainable communities.
