Regarding the necessity of measures against disaster waste, etc. in large-scale apartment buildings in urban areas

Abstract

There are more than 1,000 large apartment buildings in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and in the event of a disaster, the disposal of human waste, household waste, and disaster waste generated from these buildings is likely to be a major issue, but there has not been much substantive discussion on this issue to date.Assuming a disaster in central Tokyo (especially an earthquake directly beneath the capital), this study will consider the amount and state of disaster waste generated, taking into account the expected damage and the period of outage of infrastructure such as electricity and water, and will consider the issues and measures for the disposal of disaster waste in large apartment buildings.
