Immanuel Wallerstein.1 Introduction Comprehensive attempts to synthesize and interpret social interaction in spatio-temporal processes have been exhausted in the fields of interdisciplinary endeavor. Theoretical approaches ranging from social geography to cultural studies emphasize the key role of social organization and practices (self-representation) not only in constructing a sense of belongingness within a particular setting but also understanding and transforming the inhabited landscape. Social landscapes throughout the Asia Pacific region are vivid portraits of communication and assimilation that involve intensive negotiation of vexed realities oscillating between tradition and innovation, and between orthodoxy and pragmatism. Therefore, the analytical basis for the discussion of social landscapes in the present 1 Immanuel Wallerstein (2004). The Uncertainties of Knowledge. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, p.

    1. Outlines and Characteristics of the Great East Japan Earthquake

    The Great East Japan Earthquake Report on the Damage to the Cultural Heritage A ship washed up on the rooft op of an building by Tsunami (Oduchi Town, Iwate Prefecture ) i Collapsed buildings (Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture ) ii Introduction The Tohoku Earthquake (East Japan Great Earthquake) which occurred on 11th March 2011 was a tremendous earthquake measuring magnitude 9.0. The tsunami caused by this earthquake was 8-9m high, which subsequently reached an upstream height of up to 40m, causing vast and heavy damage over a 500km span of the pacifi c east coast of Japan (the immediate footage of the power of such forces now being widely known throughout the world). The total damage and casualties due to the earthquake and subsequent tsunami are estimated to be approximately 19,500 dead and missing persons; in terms of buildings, 115,000 totally destroyed, 162,000 half destroyed, and 559,000 buildings being parti ally destroyed. Immediately aft er the earthquake, starti ng with President Gustavo Araoz’s message enti tled ‘ICO- MOS expresses its solidarity with Japan’, we received warm messages of support and encourage- ment from ICOMOS members throughout the world. On behalf of Japan ICOMOS, I would like to take this opportunity again to express our deepest grati tude and appreciati on to you all. There have been many enquiries from all over the world about the state of damage to cultural heritage in Japan due to the unfolding events. Accordingly, with the cooperati on of the Agency for Cultural Aff airs, Japan ICOMOS issued on 22nd March 2011 a fi rst immediate report regarding the state of Important Cultural Properti es designated by the Government, and sent it to the ICOMOS headquarters, as well as making it public on the Japan ICOMOS website.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The Japanese pond smelt (Hypomesus nipponensis) stock has been observed to fluctuate quite ri- gorously over the years with sustained periods of low catch in Lake Kasumigaura and Kitaura of the Ibaraki prefecture, Japan which would adversely affect the socioeconomic livelihood of the lo- cal fishermen and fisheries industry. This study was aimed at determining the factors affecting the stock fluctuation of the pond smelt through the different years in the two lakes. Through explora- tory analysis it was found that the pond smelt had significant relationship with total phosphorus (TP) level in both lakes. The global mean land and ocean temperature index (LOTI) was also found to be indirectly related to the pond smelt stock in lake Kasumigaura and Kitaura at the latitude band of 24˚N to 90˚N (l).

    生活大学研究Bulletin of Jiyu GakuenVol. 4 College103～104 of Liberal（2019 ）Arts Vol. 4 103–104 (2019) Short Note Outline of the Water Circulation Mechanism of the Sakuragawa River Basin Flowing into the Lake Kasumigaura Shinpei YOSHIKAWA Jiyu Gakuen College (Received 31 August 2018; Accepted 3 October 2018) In October 2018, The 17th World Lake Conference was held in Ibaraki prefecture for the first time in 23 years since 1995. In this paper, we will outline the advanced water circulation mechanism surrounding the Sakuragawa river basin and the Sakuragawa river, which is the inflowing river of Lake Kasumigaura, which is the representative lake in this area. Also, it shows an inventory of survey results related to the Sakuragawa river. KeyWords: Lake Kasumigaura, Sakuragawa river, Water circulation mechanism, River environment, River basin management 1. Outline of Lake Kasumigaura area The Lake Kasumigaura area is located in the eastern part of the Kanto region, the southeastern part of Ibaraki prefecture, and the area is 2,157 km2 (Fig. 1). Among them, the area of the lake is 220 km2, the second largest in the Japan after Lake Biwa. Lake Kasumigaura is connected downstream to Tonegawa river, in confluence point is set on Hitachigawa watergate. And in the usual time it is a slightly higher water area. On the other hand, the lake is made desalinated by preventing saltwater run-up by the flood gate, making it possible to develop present water resources. In addition, “Lake Kasumigaura” is a generic term such as Lake Nishiura, Lake Kitaura, Hitachitonegawa river etc. In this paper we mainly deal with Nishiura (lake area 172 km2).

    Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Overview

    Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Note: New content has been inserted in red, italicized, bold font. Overview A powerful 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan on March 11 at 1446 local time (0546 GMT), unleashing massive tsunami waves that crashed into Japan’s northeastern coast of Honshu, the largest and main island of Japan, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. According to the Government of Japan (GoJ), as of Friday (April 1), 11,734 people are confirmed dead and 16,375 people are reported to be missing. (Kyodo, Reuters, April 1) There are no new figures for the number of injured, but the UN reported last week that 2,766 people 1 were injured. Casualty numbers are likely to increase as emergency teams continue to reach and assess affected areas. The earthquake sparked widespread tsunami warnings across the Pacific. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the shallow quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 km) (20 km deep according to Japan’s Meteorological Agency), around 80 miles (125 km) off the eastern coast of Japan, and 240 miles (380 km) northeast of Tokyo. Key Concerns: • There are more than 166,000 evacuees. • UN says priority needs remain: fuel, prefabricated housing, clothing and medicine. Request for international assistance Japan has asked for international help to deal with the disaster and has so far received offers of assistance from 134 countries and 33 international organizations. It has accepted relief items from 24 countries to date. According to OCHA, the GoJ says the need for further international assistance is limited and any support should be in accordance with the GoJ’s criteria.
