  • Transport Policy in Perspective : 2005
    TRANSPORT POLICY IN PERSPECTIVE : 2005 Preface Automobiles made rapid advances in the last century, surpassing railways to take over the main role of surface transport, and contributed greatly to the advancement of global socio-economic systems. Therefore, the 20th Century is very much "the Century of Automobiles". Automobiles are now playing a major role in moving people and transporting goods. Our lifestyles and the economy are based upon the mobility provided by automobiles in all aspects of our society, from where we live and how we do business. Our "automobile-dependent society" has become the base for more affluent lifestyles. On the other hand, road traffic problems including traffic accidents, traffic congestion, and environmental problems such as global warming and air pollution, social problems including the transport poor, urban sprawl and the decline of city centers, are widely acknowledged as serious problems throughout the world. Under these circumstances, we are reaching a major turning point in the movement toward a mature motorized society for the 21st Century. Fortunately, advanced road traffic systems and next generation motor vehicles that will be safer as well as more environmentally friendly are beginning to emerge. These include technological innovations for motor vehicle themselves, such as less polluting and more efficient hybrid motor vehicles, and the development of intelligent motor vehicles and roads that use ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) technology. In addition to the globalization of our economy, we must reassess the significance of roads and motor vehicle traffic systems in the overall transportation system in Japan, where the society has become more urbanized while the total population is declining and the population is aging rapidly.

  • ʻscalingʼ the Linguistic Landscape in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Archivio istituzionale della ricerca - Università degli Studi di Venezia Ca' Foscari Internationales Asienforum, Vol. 47 (2016), No. 1–2, pp. 315–347 ʻScalingʼ the Linguistic Landscape in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan PATRICK HEINRICH* Abstract This paper discusses four different linguistic landscapes in Okinawa Prefecture1: Naha Airport, Yui Monorail, Heiwadōri Market and Yonaguni Island. In addition to Japanese, Ryukyuan local languages are spoken there – Uchinaaguchi in Okinawa and Dunan in Yonaguni. Okinawan Japanese (Ryukyuan-substrate Japanese) is also used. In the linguistic landscapes these local languages and varieties are rarely represented and, if they are, they exhibit processes of language attrition. The linguistic landscape reproduces language nationalism and monolingual ideology. As a result, efficiency in communication and the actual language repertoires of those using the public space take a back seat. English differs from all languages employed in that it is used generically to address ‘non-Japanese’ and not simply nationals with English as a national language. The public space is not simply filled with language. The languages employed are hierarchically ordered. Due to this, and to the different people using these public spaces, the meaning of public sign(post)s is never stable. The way in which meaning is created is also hierarchically ordered. Difference in meaning is not a question of context but one of scale. Keywords Linguistic landscape, scales, social multilingualism, Okinawa, Japanese, Ryukyuan 1. Introduction Japan’s long-overlooked autochthonous multilingualism has become much more visible in recent years. Upon the publication of the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger of Extinction (Moseley 2009), Asahi Shinbun * PATRICK HEINRICH, Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca’Foscari University of Venice, [email protected].

  • Demand Estimation of a New Light Rail Transit in a Tourist City Considering the Change in Population Distribution –A Case Study for Kanazawa City, Japan–
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.13, 2019 Demand Estimation of a New Light Rail Transit in a Tourist City Considering the Change in Population Distribution –A Case Study for Kanazawa City, Japan– Tetsuji SATO a*, Eiki TAKASUGI b, Atsuya HANDA c, Keisuke SUGITA d, Kana ISOGAI e a,b,c,d,e Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chiba Institute of Technology, 2-17-1 Tsudanuma, Narashino-shi, Chiba, 275-0016, Japan a E-mail: [email protected] b E-mail: [email protected] c E-mail: [email protected] d E-mail: [email protected] e E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Many tourist cities in Asian countries developed or have plans to introduce a new mass transit system such as subway and light rail transit recently to reduce traffic jam and improve convenience of tourists, etc. In tourist cities, the fare of new mass transit lines can be low because tourists increase the demand of the lines compared to other cities. In this paper, we propose an estimation method of the impact of a new mass transit system and its fare level on population distribution in a city and demand of new lines considering the change in population distribution. We also develop an empirical model for Kanazawa city which is one of the famous historical tourist cities in Japan, and estimate the impact of developing a new light rail transit line and the fare level on population distribution and demand of the line. Keywords: Light rail transit, Demand estimation, Population distribution 1.
