Focus and Scope

FOCUS

JCEF focuses on advancing sustainable infrastructure development and fostering innovative civil engineering solutions for disaster resilience. Specifically, we look to publish articles with the potential to make real-world contributions to improving both local communities and countries' readiness for and responsiveness to natural and human-made disasters.

SCOPE

The particular emphasis of JCEF is given to the civil engineering researches associated with natural disasters such as geo-disaster (earthquake, landslide, and volcanic eruption), water-related disaster (flood, debris flow, coastal disaster, drought, and tsunami), and human-made disasters (structural failure, congestion and traffic accident, pollution, and mining disaster). Articles describing the topics of disaster risk reduction techniques, disaster early warning system, climate change adaptation, vulnerability analysis and trends, pre and/or post-disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation planning and management, forensic engineering, the socio-engineering approach for the countermeasures, or water reuse and recycle are particularly encouraged.
