Hello readers, this is Seemanta (サム) from Kawasaki group. Today I'll be
writing about our current Field trip at Myanmar. There will be 2 blogs of this
visit; i) Interviews with stakeholders at their respective offices (this blog)
& ii) Workshop with all the stakeholders at Yangon Technological University
(YTU).
This field trip is led by the KEIO team. The purpose of this field survey/visit/workshop are the
following:
a) Conduct individual meeting with stakeholders to
collect information on the provisional method of data required in water-related
disaster management system.

the individual meetings with all the other stakeholders and facilitate a joint
group meeting/discussion.
There were five individual interviews; GAD @ Bago,
