Course Summary:

First, in EST 559, we will explore three themes: [1] current and future trends of development and digital information technology toward mobility, [2] combined with many other technologies increasingly repurposed and adapted toward mobility and sustainability (wearable, lOT, emergency phones, mobile sensors, telemedicine, weather and concrete stress sensor/monitoring tools, and even technology for quick mobile/mobilized or permanent repair of infrastructure, etc.), [3] along with skills required for employing such arrangements effectively toward effective risk assessment and toward advancing risk reduction whether in natural hazards and/or human disasters for more resilient, equitable, and sustainable development.

Second, instead of reviewing all abstract risk management of all societies (which would include pastoral or peasant-bureaucratic societies, as well), we will concentrate [4] on reviewing the modern and more mobile technologies of risk management in the past 30 years [5] as they are increasingly employed in events of slow or fast disasters/accidents. The argument and data will show how [6] inequitable development that increasingly marginalizes vulnerable populations with poorly-suited infrastructures [7] and an added insulting inequality in authority ’ s disaster response that tends to ignore the victims or more vulnerable is a major background for why modern urban/infrastructural disasters are increasing in morality as a durable systemic phenomena in the past 20 years. Such disasters or accidents increasingly occur in a wider territorial and urban-dominated nation state context. Thus, upon the disasters of the environment, we add the infrastructural disasters in interaction with them, forming many mixed natural-social causes of disasters. So this course concentrates on infrastructurally dependent ‘ mass societies.’ However, with the development of more potentials of mobile wireless two-way communication, we envision what a better developmental model would look like as well as what a better disaster response model would look like that is more participative and capable of giving people more resilience to ongoing disasters as well.

Third, thus, this class will concentrate on two infrastructural areas that are unavoidably intertwined: mobile communication and electrical energy infrastructures . The development of two-way mobile wireless information communication technology (mobile ICT) can create different more participativecommunication for better developmental models and a more representative disaster response though only if an energy infrastructure is sound or recoverable first during a disaster.

2

Fourth, to analyze something as widespread as mobile technology and energy politics/use and to judge it for ongoing improvement in disaster risk reduction , we focus on thinking about four ‘empty positions’ in all national social relations that are different in different cases for their contents though similar in their mutually influential dynamics: state, science/education, consumption, and finance. Thus comparative cases of ‘MR DRR’ (mobile revolution in digital risk reduction, the abbreviationbelow throughout) involved in risk/disaster response is exploredfor how four empty categories of social lifein each case matters for state investment and preparation for different kinds of disaster responses with sometimes very different communication technology choices and very different energy infrastructure choices. Thus there is a political economy of disaster response that we will analyze for how disasters expose ‘how politics works’ very clearly in MR DRR and in energy decisions.

These four areas of social life are comparable—past, present, or future. This makes these four areas a good basis for analyzing dynamics and for building comparative judgments about how different countries use such MR DRRand energy infrastructures for their own ideas of more efficient response to disaster, or for creating from the beginning more resilient infrastructures and less vulnerable societies that are less prone to disaster. Such greater representative and more sustainable development of infrastructure in the first place makes make our societies less “fragile” and our infrastructures less vulnerable to natural and/or human disasters.

Additionally, we will analyze different sources of power in ongoing societies and their disaster responses:

Next, a heuristic chart describes these competitive and collaborative different groups that want to use ‘mobile revolution’ of ICT very differently. How differently? First, different users of mobile revolution want a different future social world, spatially, for what is their future ideal. Below is a diagram. It describes these spatial interests and their competitive strategies for how they want mobile revolution to look differently in the future. Even though all these interests are employing ‘the same ICT mobile technologies,’ these interests want to employ the same ICT for very different and oppositional goals:

3

The space of our future mobile revolution hegemonically dominated by multiple powerful regions, weak major private corporations, weak states

(think ‘local cryptocurrency regionalism,’ regional sharing economies, greater regional citizen political participation, sustainable autonomous regions; blockchain linked microgrids, etc)

The space of our future mobile revolution hegemonically dominated by multiple powerful global private corporations, weak regions, weak states

(think ‘corporatized/global corps of USA,’ massive global consumer bases, with little interest in enhancement of citizen rights, sustainability, reduction of risk, equality of development, or participation in ongoing disasters, disaster more as profit market, ‘disaster capitalism’ of international firms)

The space of our future mobile revolution hegemonically dominated by powerful states, weak global private corporations, weak regions

(think ‘China’, centralized citizen monitoring, centralized banning of various public communication terms, citizen ‘scoring’ based on their social media/CCTV surveillance facial recognition of ‘scored’ behaviors that get them denied travel, etc.); how might be used for good or bad in DRR

4

Three potential ‘mobile revolution’ scenarios of the future are above. For the ‘tri-geog(aphy)’ interests, on the leftmost image, these are the multiple regions that want to use ICT for their own regional development. This represents different regional groups in a social situation. This represents small local public and private actors, like regional cooperatives, small regional banks, local charities, and local businesses. This means there are some people who strategize with ICT for inventing greater localization, community creation, democratic participation, less scarcity, and sustainability. They want greater community and more representative regional development with the mobile revolution.

On the other hand, there are others that want larger empires, public or private, out of the mobile revolution—seen in the middle image and the rightmost image.

For the ‘tri-aris(tocracy)’, there are multiple private actors (like corporations or banks) that want to use ICT for their own growing global empires—which means they want to demote the regional economies and want to demote larger regulatory powers of states against them as well. This represents large private actors in a social situation, like corporations, major banks, and other larger globalized social-religious-charity institutions or global NGOs. Therefore, at the same moment, some people are strategizing (and even conniving) for greater globalization mostly for finding ways to maintain centralized and unrepresentative leadership power through attempting to appeal to only mass markets and mass politics as they rely on artificial scarcities in other options—in order to destroy, demote and erode others’ autonomous organizing potentials, information sharing, and self-organizing for localization—since localization in mobile revolution fails to fit their globalized agenda for mobile revolution. This is because they want only wider scale and large international empires in the mobile revolution.

For the ‘tri-royal’, this represents larger state public actors that want to use ICT to dominate both multiple regions as well as larger private corporations. For the ‘tri-royal’, there are some public states that want to use ICT for their own growing global or internal surveillance on their own populations—which means they want to demote regional autonomy as well as demote autonomy of larger private actors or at least constrain them within their larger statistic model. China, Israel, and the United States have huge ICT sectors involved in this kind of surveillance-based ICT mobile revolution.

All these futures are competing now. Therefore, both localization and (two kinds of) globalization trends exist in using very different orientations of ICT mobile revolution for different purposes. There is an open future of vision for the mobile revolution, instead of a closed destiny. These different interests are competing, collaborating, and accommodating. There is a place for greater mobility of technologies and energy infrastructures to reduce risk—though there is a way for both of these to expand risk as well. We will talk about both and how to mitigate against risk. There is a dual re-envisioning of mobile technology and energy infrastructures now for some of its risky centralizations that make past versions of both an added subsystem of risk in a disaster context (when the communication and/or energy subsystem itself fails first, catalyzing a wider environmental/infrastructural disaster without reduced capacity of organizing a response and less capacity for quickly recovering later).

Fifth, the ‘flipped classroom’aspect of the course means students will be doing their own exciting research and presentations based only on what interests them within each of these categories. For extra

5

credit, they present short talks about their draft papers as individuals or as teams. The only required presentations are the group SIA at the end of the course.

There are a series of short review presentations and a final paper. The final paper is either a [1] comparative study of your choice of a certain kind of varying infrastructure across cases in which MR DRR or energy infrastructures are employed to good use in a disaster (or by your recommendations, are improvable or sharable based on what you learn in the course; [2] or the final paper is a detailed examination in four parts of one country’s disaster mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery ( “ MI- PRE-RR ” ) to a type of disaster that was very influential in changing a country ’ s disaster response and preparation in the future to involve more mobile technology and a different energy infrastructure. In both kinds of papers you should focus on bad practices that got corrected after a terrible event, or you can focus on good practices that clearly mitigated against the severity of a kind of disaster.

In short, this graduate course is:

1. a bit of material, technology, environmental, and social impact assessment of infrastructures in disaster contexts

2. a bit of organizational analysis of bad or good ideas of coordination and planning in disaster contexts

3. a bit of energy infrastructure analysis, and4. a review of the wealth of choices in mobile information communication technologies and energy

transition ideas toward sustainability that may be useful in disaster risk reduction in general.

Grading Evaluation

Grading evaluation will be based on the following categories and percentages of semester grade.

1. Attendance/Participation total: 10%2. Individual/Group Assignments total: 90%

a. Individual Assignments i. Future Tech Survey (has to be completed during first week) 5%

ii. Ongoing individual presentations about a reading of your choice, in weekly session:

1. either talk from your chair (no PPT, less points), 2. a short PPT (credit fulfilled for participation in the week), 3. and/or a short paper of 2-3 page, double-spaced

“description/reaction ” paper reviewing the reading; (this is extra credit as a superior contribution and participation in the course and in your own education)

4. do a minimum of eight weeks of PPT, your choice of weeks /topics 40%

iii. Individual/Group Final Paper; group paper only upon permission 45%

6

Description/Reaction Papers. Your main job in this course is to do the readings thoughtfully and to help us discuss them in class and to participate in the flipped classroom sections by your preparation and discussion. To give you extra credit for doing the readings well and to facilitate class discussion, you may write an extra short description/reaction paper among the articles assigned in the semester. Description/reaction papers should be at least 2-3 pages typed (double spaced). It can be longer if you want. They should be about one reading assignment. For the weeks you choose to do any description/reaction papers, only one should be turned in each week, and only from the choice of that week’s readings . I want a printed copy. Plus, if you want to get more extra credit, you can turn them in at the end of the course (or enclosed in the course packet extra credit Option #1 as well). However, if you turn it in earlier or during the semester, only turn in one per week on the readings that come due in that week. (In other words, don’t read ahead and turn in several D/R papers before they are even scheduled in the course.) I expect them to be in English, well organized, and grammatically correct. However, I am not penalizing you on grammatical issues. I am only correcting it to help you improve. I am here to help you understand and improve, not to harm you. You can use description/reaction papers as notes for discussion in class—and get credit for it as well.Though these description/reaction papers may take a variety of forms, there should be two sections in them: one more objective and one subjective. The first objective section is a required half page summary of the film or paper’s argument and methods (i.e., only several paragraphs). This shows me your capacity to comprehend and then relay specific content of the article or film, objectively and cogently. The second subjective section or remainder of the reaction paper is your choice of the following. All these suggestions allow you to be more subjective:

i. Things you don’t understand;ii. Further comments on all or part of the reading or film;

iii. Something you agree with; iv. Strengths of the film/reading;v. Weaknesses of the film/reading;

vi. Something you disagree with;vii. How the reading relates (or doesn’t relate) to personal experience, Korean

examples (or if not Korean, your native country’s examples), or social or technological situations in general you know about; other comparisons;

viii. Other methods or data for approaching the same question or issue that you think might be better and why;

ix. How the film/reading related to other films/readings—similar or vastly different—in this or in another course.

The description/reaction papers are (1) designed to help you understand the readings; (2) help you understand where you personally agree or disagree with them and why; (3) to improve your reading or listening comprehension in an exercise tied to writing practice in English; (4) toward my understanding of your English language use capacities; and (5) to provide myself feedback on the direction of the course in the questions or comments that you relate.

Final paper: Disaster/Mitigation Review: Onedisaster/infrastructure in which politicians, first responders, and citizens/victims employ MR DRR and energy infrastructures to good effect to learn from their past mistakes to identify and to change a past plan of infrastructure or response to something better for the future; There are two kinds of final paper: the final paper is either a [1] comparative study of your choice of a certain kind of varying(energy) infrastructure or varying disaster

7

response across casesin which MR DRR or energy infrastructures are employed to good use in a disaster (or by your recommendations are improvable based on what you learn in the course); [2] or the final paper is a detailed examination of one country’s disaster plan of mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery behaviors ( “ MI-PRE-RR ” ) to a type of disaster that was influential in changing a country ’ s disaster response and preparation to involve more mobile technology and a different energy mix or infrastructure. In both kinds of papers you should focus on bad practices that got corrected after a terrible event, or you can focus on good practices that clearly mitigated against the severity of a kind of disaster. Sections should include the above point 2 and its four points; it should additionally touch on how these players work in a disaster well or poorly in your opinion: the state, the ‘science’ and knowledge gathering context (educators, first responders), the materials that are ‘consumed’ in a disaster particularly mobile technology and energy infrastructure and how they were broken, recovered, or improved as a result of a disaster in the past; and finance (how such disaster management is funded in a country and what costs accrued because of both the disaster and repair, as well as the disaster response costs.) Thus technologies we will talk about will be different in different cases with doctors, telemedicine, embedded sensors in hydroelectric dams and nuclear plants, drones, robotic snakes, decommissioning nuclear reactors, etc. all depending on the case you choose to analyze. This is either a comparative analysis of how the same kind of disasters meet with different social/technical response or have different background risks in different countries, or it is a deep national analysis of a particular case of the communication/energy infrastructures that are becoming mobile; mobile sensors, mobile payments, telemedicine, etc. crowdfunding, etc.) and a review of how it has been employed well or poorly in disaster situations in your national case. Both papers should have a section on ideas for improvement that you like and why, and ideas for improvement that you dislike and why concentrating on the pragmatics of the political decision making of a country or culture in both issues.(20-25 pages, double spaced) 45%

The final paper has a rubric in the following form:

1. The final paper should introduce the “journalistic issues” quickly in the first few paragraphs: who, what, where, when, why and how; this is concerning what crucial disasters were important forces before a country created or updated its National Disaster Plan

2. The paper itself is a material/ecological review, a technological organizational review, a disaster response review of social impact, and an environmental inequality review.

3. In your comparative case or in your national case, address some aspect of all four sections of ‘state, science, consumption, and finance’, describing how mobile technologies and energy infrastructures worked/failed in the event, as well as brainstorming about how to improve the applications of mobile technologies of ICT here and/or how to alter energy infrastructures to be more resilient in response to disasters. Try to talk about the requirement of collaboration in DRR between the three ‘triangle’ groups mentioned earlier: public grass roots interests, major private corporations (whether international or national or local), and public state/bureaucracies

4. In your comparative case or in your national case, mention something about these three networked levels of people in disaster response and how mobile technologies are or maybe more useful to them: a. first level networked actors: government, top down networked preparations for and

mitigations to disaster response; drills, etc. preparation or lack thereof; predicted events or unpredicted events

8

b. second level networked actors: emergency responders, or ‘first responders’;c. third level network actors: citizens, companies, NGOs, community leaderships, volunteers,

victims. 5. In your case or comparison, for the victims of disasters,

a. talk about the four kind of victims from Perrow’s analysis (Perrow 1984) of disasters,b. talk about the environmental inequities of risk vulnerability and/or c. the inequalities in risk response from the first level or the second level above because of

cultural/political marginalization of the third level;i. discuss howone or the other (or both) of these inequalities of risk experience

might be solved for that population.6. In your case or comparison, talk about the four issues of “MIT PR RR”: mitigation, preparation,

response, and recovery—particularly how a disaster changed such response for the better and what we might learn from it for other cases worldwide. Did your case learn from itself, employ mobile technologies in DRR, or in your opinion will the same problems keep happening in DRR coordination?

The final paper is a multi-industry-wide review of MR DRR applications and energy infrastructural change ideas that were or can be applied to solve existing problems of a disaster event or for future DRR identified in the course. Follow the above rubric of sixpoints.

NOTE: We have two tracks and two demographic groups in this course. One track comprises graduate students working on theirmaster’s/doctorate degree. The other track comprises top executives from Korean industry taking a separate certification via visiting SUNY Korea. They are being trained on issues of disaster management, particularly regarding risk and energy infrastructures. For both groups, I hope your different strengths work together well in the course! Executives, please share with us your knowledge and experience. Graduate students, please consider them extra intellectual resources in this course and extend to them the collegiality of a SUNY Korea partner. My expectation for executives is that they attempt all exercises to give equal rigor to the course and program.

Quotes:

“[The rapid development of science and technology]...is now also being recognized as a source of danger for our societies because of over-hasty transformations and unforeseen negative side effects. There is

broad agreement that scientific and technological capacity will be a crucial factor in our common efforts to bring acceptable material standards of living to all people. But are the present large-scale

technologies really furthering this aim? What alternative choices exist?....A less naive approach towards the role of science and technology in the promotion of development is emerging. This holds for rich and poor countries alike. An international debate that has been going on for several years has stressed the importance of determined efforts to analyze and "create" the future. The present tendency to know

more and more about less and less creates problems for societyas a whole; the era of extreme specialization must come to an end.”…. “International development in science and technology has been dominated by heavy military and commercial [supply-side] interests. Hence, it is not surprising that most future studies produced so far have also been sponsored by military establishments and by the world's

major multinational corporations. Such studies should be the concern of all countries. Critical awareness is needed, as these studies may be based on scales of value that are not democratically acceptable. We

must avoid any "colonizing of the future" by powerful interest groups, national or international. One main idea behind the report is the need for public participation in the work on future studies. We must

always devote much energy to making complex problems commonly understandable. Future studies and the discussion about different futures must not be left to a new breed of specialists or to an elite who

claim to know what is best for everybody. The democratic control of this work must never weaken, and public participation in vital long-range decisions must be safeguarded and deepened."

“We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology [and their interactions with nature]. We have also arranged things so that almost no one

understands science and technology [and their interactions with nature]. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance

and power [and environmental, health, and economic externalities] is going to blow up in our faces.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Lecture/PPT: Environmental Inequalities in Social Stratification Worldwide, versus Ulrich Beck’s View of Risk Society. How might MR DRR help in both?

I discuss two faces of risk analysis: [1] Risk Inequality/Vulnerability in Suffering or [2] Theoretical Risk Equality in Suffering.

The first deals with environmental inequalities and the vulnerability of select populations (in week three), instead of all people; versus, now in week four, the other view of novel kinds of material risks in a “Risk Society” where risk does involve all people equally, theoretically.

3. Optional: Negative side: Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, excerpts.a. The point is crony governments and privatizers as a group are finding ways to profit

from disasters both economically as well as politically (like turningdisastersinto ways of war domestically or internationally, to intentionally change social, political, and cultural relations to their advantage with the shock of the disaster and its disruptions to past daily life. This removes their enemies, disorganizes them, and/or psychologically disheartens them.Soinstead of disasters being situations that cause people to rethink or to be interested in solving risk issues created by disasters,for some in our world, disasters and their risks are seen as a desired boon for quick economic profits and quick pre-planned political restructuring. Some rather corrupt and evil groups thus seek to create disasters or seek to demote resilience to allow its victims to be without a proper response in order to usher in a world that they want against them. This poses a novel problem for environmental impact assessment since some part of a country’s systemic powers may be uninterested in assessing or fixing problems in advance and are a faction that is happy to see more problems unleashed on their own population or domestic enemies as pretexts for their growing centralized or privatized giveaways and power over those groups.
