    As a premise, an organization sets a Recovery Time Objective (RTO),(1) which is based on Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD)(2) and Current Recoverable Time (CRT),(3) as part of Business Continuity Management (BCM).(4) The author presents a selection model for a proposed solution to reduce the “Gap Time between RTO and CRT” (hereinafter referred to as Gap Time). The method used for Gap Time formalization is a 0-1 integer programming model. Because it comprises two models—“current recoverable time reduction maximization model (CRT model)” and “RTO achieved number maximizing model (RTO model)”—the author refers to it as the “Twin Model.” These models sometimes have trade-off relationships.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify environmental factors which affect occurrence and nonoccurrence of suspicious persons cases against children. We investigated the physical environment of both places where the case occurred and where the case didn’t occur, and analyzed the factors for occurrence and non-occurrence. The major findings are as follows. (1) Suspicious persons appear frequently where visibility is low and seldom appear at the place with wide view. (2) Suspicious persons tend to appear at the places where many children gather such as the places near schools and don’t appear at quiet places where few people gather. (3) Suspicious persons more frequently appear on streets where automatic vending machine or small shops exist in residential area and less frequently appear on streets in downtown and quiet residential area.

    The present study, as a case study of the Great East Japan Earthquake, examined external assistance of response activities in a major disaster. Regarding external assistance in disasters, considering both sending and receiving the assistance is essential. In our analysis, interview data of responders were adopted. They were conducted to municipal and prefectural officials from both affected and unaffected areas. Based on their point of view, we examined practical assisting activities by external teams, receiving activities in an affected local government, and problems and lessons from their response.

    In recent years, it is reported that the Koto Delta Area in Tokyo including areas whose elevation are lower than sea level has the risk of large-scale flood. In this paper, considering both inland and wide-area evacuation, we estimated the number of people who should evacuate to evacuation centers using GIS data of flood, population distribution and building inventory. And then, we evaluated the capacity in each area and the possible use of existing buildings as additional evacuate centers. Finally, we discussed necessary approaches to prepare appropriate evacuation centers.
