 note = {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.},
