Abstract

The objective of this research is to construct a universal knowledge system by integrating the knowledge of individual safety-related research areas, as well as to design and manage the entire program. This includes structuralization and visualization of knowledge, deliberation on the concepts of safety and security, and complementary research into malpractice prevention and food safety. The group will also develop and propose detailed methodologies for designing of science and technology for society. The design of science and technology for society consists of the following processes: (1) Localization of problems, (2) Conception of solutions for problems, (3) Prediction of societal changes and effects following application of the solutions to society, (4) Evaluation of the results of the predictions based on various value criteria.
