東日本大震災後の安全学の課題と可能性 　― レジリエントな社会の実現のための方法論として― Tasks and the Possibility of Safety and Security Studies after the Great East Japan Earthquake: As a Methodology of Creating a Resilient Society 萩原, 優騎 open access Terrible earthquake, tsunami and the corresponding nuclear accident hit the northeastern Japan in 2011, which is called the Great East Japan Earthquake. Some raised a question whether safety and security studies proposed by Yoichiro Murakami is useful after that. The purpose of this paper is to answer the question and seek its tasks and the possibility from the view of resilience studies. Creating a resilient society is one of the important aims in the contemporary Japan. Can safety and security studies function as a methodology of achieving resilience? Controlling nature with the power of science and technology has been an aim in modern society. However, science and technology itself became a threat to human beings as a result of its development. It is necessary for them to control not only nature but also artifacts. According to Murakami, the origin of this situation is modern European thought which released people from premodern restrictions such as religion. They took it for granted that they could do everything depending on their desires. Moreover, science and technology stirred them. The more science and technology developed, the more they wanted its fruit. How can human desire be controlled in the contemporary secularized society? Murakami answers that it will be impossible to control desire without recognizing issues caused by science and technology as urgent ones. Many of these issues are global. However, he points out human cultures and their values are various, while sustainability is a common goal all human beings should take collaborative efforts to reach. Researchers in the field of resilience studies also say the way to achieve resilience, a basis of sustainability, differs from area to area though creating a resilient society is a global common goal. One of the difficulties is how the local dimensions of decision-making in each community can be connected to the global dimensions to address common global issues. Moreover, they have to consider how to resolve the conflicts among the areas and between the global benefits and the local ones. For example, a resilient state or safety and security in one area can be harmful for others if the concerned area achieves resilience or safety and security by discharging harmful substances to its outside. Safety and security studies can be a methodology to solve the problems mentioned above. Murakami proposes that people give up one unique solution when they make a decision. This means it is important they always take it into consideration that all options they choose will be tentative. In other words, they should always try to seek the better solutions to improve the situation. Murakami calls such sustained efforts dynamism of human thought and society. Dynamism is also a necessary condition to reconsider their truism in their daily life which prevents them from recognizing issues caused by science and technology as urgent ones. In this sense, a methodology of safety and security studies will be effective to achieve resilience and sustainability. 2017-09-30 departmental bulletin paper https://doi.org/10.34577/00004429 https://icu.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/4586 10.34577/00004429 04542134 社会科学ジャーナル 84 5 25 https://icu.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/4586/files/1.pdf application/pdf 803.4 kB 2019-01-07
