Abstract
This study examines the definitions and the scopes of risk, crisis, and disaster management in narrow and wide sense. Generally, the meanings and the scopes of these terms have been used in a very confused manner, and that is the main reason of the difficulty of interdisciplinary approach to disaster related study. In a practical manner, these terms needs to be defined more correctly, for the effective communications among various fields of academic and professional disciplines. This study tries to divide the meanings and the scopes of risk management, disaster management, and crisis management in narrow and wide sense, to define them in a more elaborate manner. Though these three terms can be distinguished in narrow sense, they have almost same meanings when we use them in wide sense.
