    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan TSUNAMI DAMAGE IN PORTS BY THE 2011 OFF PACIFIC COAST OF TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE Takashi TOMITA1 and Gyeong-Seon YOEM2 1 Research Director, Asia-Pacific Center for Coastal Disaster Research, Port and Airport Research Institute, Yokosuka, Japan, [email protected] 2 Researcher, Asia-Pacific Center for Coastal Disaster Research, Port and Airport Research Institute, Yokosuka, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The tsunami generated by the 2011 off Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake caused devastated damage in wide areas by not only inundation but also tsunami^-debris. We cannot control generation of earthquake even with state-of-arts technologies. However, we can surely mitigate possible disasters with adequate human responses. To fear tsunamis appropriately and to prepare adequate measure with local characteristics are important to preparing possible tsunamis/ Key Words: Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, port, inundation, destruction, debris, estimation, disaster mitigation, disaster prevention INTRODUCTION Japan has many experiences of tsunami disasters such as the 1896 Meiji Sanriku tsunami that caused 22,000 dead and missing. Even after improvement of coastal defense systems which have been significantly implemented since the 1960s, the 1983 Nihon-kai Chubu earthquake tsunami (the Japan Sea tsunami) killed 100 persons, and 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-oki earthquake tsunami (the Okushiri tsunami) caused 230 dead and missing including casualties by the seismic damage. In the case of Okushiri tsunami, many residents in Okushiri Island escaped to hills soon after the earthquake shock and saved their lives, because the residents had a disaster experience of the 1983 Japan Sea tsunami which hit and inundated the southern part of the island and caused two missing persons.

  • Ship & Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers No. 6
    Selected Papers No.6 February 2006 D irector's Message As mankind moves into the 21st century, integrated policies of ocean governance are necessary for the sustainable development and use of our oceans and their resources and the protection of the marine environment. Towards this end, the Ocean Policy Research Foundation (formerly: Ship & Ocean Foundation) has started an "Ocean Policy Resarch", with the mission statement "Liv- ing in Harmony with the Oceans". The Ocean Policy Research Foundation aims to conduct cross-sectoral research in ocean related issues in order to initiate debate on marine topics and formulate both domestic and international policy proposals. We publish a Japanese-language newsletter called the "Ship & Ocean Newsletter" twice a month. The "Ship & Ocean Newsletter" seeks to provide people of diverse viewpoints and backgrounds with a forum for discussion and to contribute to the for- mulation of maritime policies to achieve coexistence between mankind and the ocean. Our Foundation believes that the Newsletter can expand effective communication on these issues through its function as editor, publishing timely research and welcoming responses from readers, which might then be published in turn. "Ship & Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers No.6" contains English-language versions of papers from the Japanese Newsletter edition, published from No.71(2003.7.20) to No.90(2004.5.5). It is our sincere hope that these Selected Papers will provide useful insights on policy debate in Japan and help to foster global policy dialogue

  • AOMORI PREFECTURE Latest Update: August 2013
    www.EUbusinessinJapan.eu AOMORI PREFECTURE Latest update: August 2013 Prefecture’s flag Main City: Aomori city Population: 1,338,000 people, ranking 31/47 prefectures (2013) [1] Area: 9,606 km2 [2] Geographical / Landscape description Aomori Prefecture is located on the northernmost tip of Honshu facing Hokkaido, with the Tsugaru Strait in between. Aomori Prefecture has a rich and varied nature of mountains, parks and lakes. [2] Climate Aomori prefecture’s climate is cool for the most part with an average temperature of 10°C. Variations in climate exist between the eastern (Pacific Ocean side) and the western (Japan Sea side) parts of the prefecture. This is in part due to the Ou Mountains that run north to south and divide the two regions. The western side is subject to heavy monsoons and little sunshine. The eastern side receives little sunlight during the summer months with temperatures staying relatively low. [2] Time zone GMT +7 in summer (+8 in winter) International dialling code: 0081 Recent history, culture Aomori is well known for its tradition of Tsugaru-jamisen, a virtuosic style of shamisen (a three-stringed Japanese musical instrument) playing. The prefecture is also known for its Nobuta Matsuri, one of Japan’s most impressive festivals with giant floats of brave warrior-figures carried through the centre of Aomori City. [2] Economic overview Aomori, as an energy-efficient prefecture, aims to shift to a low-carbon society by strongly promoting the introduction of renewable energy such as wind energy, photovoltaic energy, hydraulic power, and biomass energy, as well as by introducing next-generation cars such as electric cars and plug-in hybrids that can utilize those clean energies.

  • 1 Failure Mechanism of Kamaishi Breakwaters Due
    FAILURE MECHANISM OF KAMAISHI BREAKWATERS DUE TO THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE TSUNAMI Taro Arikawa 1, Masaharu Sato2, Kenichiro Shimosako3, Iwao Hasegawa 4, Gyeong-Seon Yeom5 and Takashi Tomita6 Many breakwaters were damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. The majority of the breakwaters were destroyed or deformed under tsunami overflow; however, the failure mechanism under tsunami overflow is not clear. Therefore, with the main objective of this report being to clarify the stability of breakwaters under tsunami overflow, hydraulic model experiments and numerical simulations were conducted with Kamaishi Bay breakwaters as the subject, and failure mechanisms of the trunk of the breakwaters were examined. Keywords: Kamaishi breakwater; tsunami overflow; stability of breakwaters INTRODUCTION The tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake collapsed many breakwaters and storm surge barriers. Views of this were recorded by video cameras at many places, and in many cases, it is presumed that the tsunami exceeded the heights of the breakwater etc., causing their failure. Among past studies focused on clarifying the mechanism of the failure of breakwaters caused by tsunami, Horiguchi and Yokota (1968) investigated the causes of the failure of the Kawaragi Breakwater in the Port of Hachinohe when it was struck by the Tokaichi Earthquake tsunami, reaching the hypothesis that it slid under the impacts of the water level difference inside and outside the port and the dynamic water pressure on its front surface. Tanimoto et. al. (1983) suggested that the failure of the landfill revetment then under construction in the outer harbor of Noshiro during the Japan Sea Chubu earthquake tsunami was a failure caused by the impact of a bore tsunami.

  • Effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake on Industries in Port Cities
    EFFECTS OF THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE ON INDUSTRIES IN PORT CITIES Ryuichi SHIBASAKI Chief Researcher, Center for International Port Policy, The Overseas Coastal Area Development Institute of Japan TEL : +81-3-5570-5931 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper aims to summarize damages and the recovery process of enterprises and manufactures in port cities affected by the Great East-Japan Earthquake and Tsunami from published information such as newspaper articles. The database is organized by city and by industry type. At the same time, characteristics of each port city before the Earthquake are reviewed based on industrial, trade and port statistics. Also, recovery status of trade is investigated from trade statistics after the Earthquake by port and commodity. INTRODUCTION The Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011 and the multiple large aftershocks in early April damaged the activities (e.g. production and logistics) of enterprises and manufactures in the Tohoku and Kanto regions. Generally, there is less information available on damages of private companies caused by earthquakes and tsunamis compared with those of public infrastructure because of privacy issues. Public bodies wishing to know the extent of damages to private companies often conduct questionnaire and interview surveys but in most cases the results are not open to the public as much of the information is confidential. However, putting the difficulty of obtaining information on individual companies aside, it is highly informative to summarize the damage and recovery process by industry type and the relationship of its location (e.g. ground condition and inundation height) to the degree of damage and recovery speed, for a discussion of policies on disaster mitigation considering influences on private companies.
