Over the past century, Japan has experienced repeated large-scale and complex disasters, and academic knowledge related to disaster response, recovery, and prevention has expanded across diverse fields. However, the increasing specialization of academic fields has made it difficult to comprehensively understand how disaster research has evolved and how different fields have interacted over time. Since Japan now faces the imminent risk of future major disasters such as the Nankai Trough earthquake or the Tokyo metropolitan earthquake, there is a growing need to integrate existing knowledge and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration. By visualizing long-term trends and identifying the relationships among academic societies, this study provides a foundation for more coordinated and effective disaster management strategies. This study aims to clarify the historical trends in disaster research in Japan by conducting a text mining analysis of academic papers on major disasters from the perspective of the disaster management cycle. The main findings are as follows: (1) A significant number of academic societies related to disaster prevention were established between 1923 and 2010, with the field of disaster research notably expanding after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake; (2) As understanding of the mechanisms of hazards, destruction, and recovery in natural disasters has advanced, the importance of research on disaster prevention and mitigation measures is expected to grow even further in the future.
