国際プロジェクトのケーススタディE

We civil engineers are involved not only in construction of infrastructure but also in solving a variety of social problems. For example, the Great East Japan Earthquake set a new task to build new embankments along the Sanriku Coast. It is not a purely technical issue but a social one as social acceptance would be necessary to build those embankments. Even experts of structural mechanics cannot avoid or ignore it. The same thing can be said to international project; for example, Kotopanjang Dam project in Indonesia caused a strong public opposition, which was actually evoked by NGO, and ended in court. You, as future civil engineers, must have competencies to deal with such various aspects of international project.
