BRI/JICA Projects for Earthquake Disaster
Mitigation in Developing Countries Objective -to develop human resources and physical basis in each countries -to contribute to mitigate disasters through elaboration of seismic codes
or other ways -to empower the CP organization to be a national/regional center of
earthquake disasters mitigation activities Scope of Activities -instrumentation of seismometers and strong motion SM -structural testing -dissemination of information through trainings, seminars, and others Programs offered by Japanese Government -dispatch of Japanese experts -training of CP personnel in Japan -donation of facilities and equipments for monitoring, testing, R&D,
dissemination and others

Feasibility Study on a Comprehensive Approach to Safer Conventional Housing in DCs
Aim
-to contribute to mitigate earthquake
disasters through dissemination of
appropriate technologies We are focusing on:
-feasible and affordable technologies
for communities/people
-strategies for dissemination of technologies
-diffusion and sustainable growing of technologies in communities along with economical effects such as job opportunities
Feasibility Study on a Comprehensive Approach to Safer Conventional Housing in DCs
Outline of R&D (tentative) duration: about five years case study in several countries: (tentative: Peru, Indonesia, Nepal, Turkey)
Activities in 2005 feasibility study in partnership with National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), United Nations Center for Regional Development
(UNCRD), universities and research institutes
*Financial resources for R&D activities to apply for R&D/ODA resources by a proposal elaborated with inputs
from WS and others
Feasibility Study on a Comprehensive Approach to Safer Conventional Housing in DCs
Comprehensive approach requires participation of wider fields of research
-Seismology
-Structural Engineering
-Policy Studies
-Socio-Economic Studies
-Development Studies BRI seeks for partnership with relevant organizations
in the world
BRI tries to strengthen BRI tries to strengthen partnership with researchers, partnership with researchers,
engineers and people in practice in the engineers and people in practice in the world and world and
to contribute to contribute to safer built environmentto safer built environment
