Abstract

The rainwater harvesting movement in the Sumida Ward, Tokyo helps local the community to reduce water related risks, and also to fill up required water supply for the community. In this paper, we will try to show how this movement diffuses in the community and how this diffusion process reflected in social network system helps the community to cope with disaster related risks. This is assumed to be a process where a community shifts from one structural situation to another. A survey design is proposed for future empirical study, which is considered as juxtaposition of Vitae System Model and social networks approach to understand the coping capacity of the people.
