  • Preliminary Survey on the Tetori Group in Southern Ishikawa, Japan 石川
    石川県立自然史資料館研究報告 第３号 Bulletin of the Ishikawa Museum of Natural History, 3: 49-62 (2013) Preliminary survey on the Tetori Group in southern Ishikawa, Japan Yoshihiro KATSURA 石川県南部に分布する手取層群に対する予備調査 桂嘉志浩 Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Itoshiro and overlying Akaiwa subgroups of the Tetori Group are distributed in the Shiramine Area of Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The Kuwajima Formation, the upper division of the lower subgroup, is considered to have been deposited under lacustrine and associated alluvial environments. It has yielded a reasonable number of vertebrate remains that are small, allochthonous, and mostly disarticulated. The Akaiwa Formation, the lower division of the upper subgroup, is suggested to have been formed by fluvial systems with strong currents and rapid deposition. Except for plant fragments, fossils are uncommon. Vertebrates, including dinosaurs, occur in the Kitadani Formation, the upper division of the upper subgroup, in northeastern Fukui Prefecture, and this formation crops out in the Shiramine Area. Therefore, there is a chance that articulated large vertebrate fossils are preserved in the subgroups exposed in the area. However, the indurated nature of the rocks, precipitous topology, thick vegetation cover, and overall poor exposures represent significant challenges to making such a discovery. Further, based on the taphonomy of the observed vertebrates, finding well-preserved large vertebrates in the area will be difficult and require much time and financial support.

A brief introduction… Office of Education Abroad (859) 572-6908 NKU Academic Exchanges The Office of Education Abroad offers academic exchanges as a study abroad option for independent and mature NKU students interested in a semester or year-long immersion experience in another country. The information in this packet is meant to provide an overview of the experience available through an academic exchange in Gifu, Japan. However, please keep in mind that this information, especially that regarding visa requirements, is subject to change. It is the responsibility of each NKU student participating in an exchange to take the initiative in the pre- departure process with regards to visa application, application to the exchange university, air travel arrangements, housing arrangements, and pre-approval of courses. Before and after departure for an academic exchange, the Office of Education Abroad will remain a resource and guide for participating exchange students. Japan Japan is home to almost 128 million people spread out on over 3,000 islands. The four main islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, account for 97% of Japan’s total land area. Over 70% of the country is forested, mountainous, and unsuitable for agricultural or residential use. The beauty of nature, undisturbed by humans, will surround and astound you. Legend attributes the creation of Japan to the sun goddess, from whom the emperors were thought to be descended. In acknowledgement of this, the characters that make up Japan’s name translate to “sun-origin” and give Japan its nickname of the “Land of the Rising Sun.” Japan’s culture has evolved greatly over the years from its traditional ways to its current culture, which includes influences from Europe, North American, and the rest of Asia.

The highest spot is Chausuyama at 1,415 m above sea level. The western part of the prefecture is dominated by Nagoya, Japan's third largest city, and its suburbs, while the eastern part is less densely populated but still contains several major industrial centres. As of 1 April 2012, 17% of the total land area of the prefecture was designated as Natural Parks. [2] Climate: Aichi prefecture’s climate is generally mild, since located in a plain, Nagoya can be record some relative hot weather during summer. [2] Time zone: GMT +7 in summer (+8 in winter) International dialling code: 0081 Recent history, culture Aichi prefecture is proud to be the birth place of three main figures that led to the unification of Japan between the 16th and 17th century: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Due to this, Aichi is sometimes considered as the home of the samurai spirit. Many commemorative museums and places can be found in the prefecture retracing the history behind the three figures. In 2005 Aichi hosted the universal exposition. [2][3] Economic overview Aichi has a particularly strong concentration of manufacturing-related companies, especially in the transport machinery industry (automobiles, airplanes, etc.); since 1977 until today, Aichi has maintained the No.1 position in Japan in terms of the value of its total shipments of manufactured products.

On the basis of the recognition that the dissemination to overseas countries of information on the Japanese local governance system and its operation was insufficient, the objective of this project was defined as the pursuit of comparative studies on local governance by means of compiling in foreign languages materials on the Japanese local governance system and its implementation as well as by accumulating literature and reference materials on local governance in Japan and foreign countries.

  • A Regression Analysis of Trends in Population Changes in Tourist Destinations: Using Keyword Search Volume and Statistical Population Data
    Journal of Global Tourism Research, Volume 4, Number 2, 2019 Original Article A regression analysis of trends in population changes in tourist destinations: Using keyword search volume and statistical population data Masahide Yamamoto (Faculty of Foreign Studies, Nagoya Gakuin University, [email protected]) Abstract This study uses “Mobile Kukan Toukei™” (MOBILE SPATIAL STATISTICS) to identify the number of visitors in different periods at specific tourist destinations. Mobile Kukan Toukei is statistical population data created by the operational data of mobile phone networks. The service makes it possible to estimate the population structure of a region by gender, age, and residential area. In ad- dition, it attempts to demonstrate an alternative method to infer the number of visitors in specific areas more accurately. The various interests of tourists influence their keyword search before or during travel, and ultimately emerge as some kind of trend in a specific keyword’s search volume. By connecting the Mobile Kukan Toukei and keyword search volume, linear equations could be derived. These findings could lead to a model to forecast tourism demand in a destination. Keywords However, the industry still faces three challenges. The first mobile phone, statistical population data, keyword search vol- involves overcoming a regional gap.
