Case Study of Consensus Building for Enhancement of the Regional Disaster Resilience Okutani, Tadashi Kobayashi, Masanori Nambu, Hiroyuki regional disaster resilience business continuity plan consensus building In Japan’s regional cities, the danger of disasters is greater than it is in large cities as a consequence of the difference in the population structure and the fragility of roads and other infrastructure. To prevent the deterioration of regional cities under the impact of disasters, it is important that they be restored rapidly, and an effective way to achieve this is for regional companies to enact and implement business continuity plans (BCPs). However, regional cities are often supported by small and medium companies, which lack information, personnel, knowledge, and capital, and so cannot easily enact BCPs on their own. For the above reasons, to enable regional small and medium companies to enact BCPs to improve disaster resilience, administrative bodies must provide support premised on an awareness common to entire regions. The purpose of this research is to incorporate a consensus building method and form study committees capable of sharing information and knowledge concerning support for the enactment of BCPs and disaster resistance in order to enhance regional disaster resilience. This effort is now being implemented in two cities in the Shikoku Region. Study committees are formed by several companies, chambers of commerce, administrations, and academic experts. The participating companies exchange information and study the enactment of their own BCPs, based on an agreement to enhance the disaster resilience of their regions.
