Do you feel comfortable in underground shopping center?
-Thinking about urban underground space-

Underground spaces are valuable in Japan, a small country in terms of national land area. They are particularly vital in urban areas. However, there are numerous challenges in using these spaces, including earthquake disaster prevention, safeguards against flooding and inundation, psychological stress inflicted by a closed space, and evacuation guidance in the event of disasters. The maintenance and improvement of such structures is also a major social problem. But at the same time, the scope of the utilization and development of underground spaces has expanded significantly. Previously, there were only specific types of shallow-depth underground facilities, including buried pipes, roads, and railways. At present, however, underground spaces have deepened greatly, and their uses have diversified to include sewage treatment plants, storage facilities, power generation facilities, and underground rivers. In addition, a variety of civil engineering surveys and research are being advanced in a wide range of fields.
This month's special feature is organized around the theme “Improvements in safety and comfort” in underground shopping centers and underground railway stations, places in urban areas where people gather in large numbers.
