    Part I Developments in Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration that Underpin Japan’s Economic Growth ~ Strategic infrastructure management that brings about productivity revolution ~ Section 1 Japanese Economy and Its Surrounding Conditions I Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration and Tourism Transport Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Infrastructure, Chapter 1, Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration, on the assumption of discussions described in chapter 2 and following sections, looks at the significance of the effects infrastructure development has on economic growth with awareness of severe circumstances surrounding the Japanese economy from the perspective of history and statistical data. Section 1, Japanese Economy and Its Surrounding Conditions, provides an overview of an increasingly declining population, especially that of a productive-age population, to become a super aging society with an estimated aging rate of close to 40% in 2050, and a severe fiscal position due to rapidly growing, long-term outstanding debts and other circumstances. Section 2, Economic Trends and Infrastructure Development, looks at how infrastructure has supported peoples’ lives and the economy of the time by exploring economic growth and the history of infrastructure development (Edo period and post-war economic growth period). In international comparisons of the level of public investment, we describe the need to consider Japan’s poor land and severe natural environment, provide an overview of the stock effect of the infrastructure, and examine its impact on the infrastructure, productivity, and economic growth.

  • Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology

    Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology

    Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology Ito, Kazumasa Head of planning office, Research Center for Sustainable Communities, CTI Engineering Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan Senior Councilor, Technical Coordination and Cooperation Division, Foundation for River Improvement and Restoration Tokyo, Japan Lecturer Musashi Institute of Technology Dept. of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo, Japan Abstract : About 50% of the population and 75% of the properties concentrate on the flood plain in Japan. The rivers have intimate relationship with our lives. Those conditions have been seen after modern river improvement projects that began about a century ago. The technology which was introduced from foreign countries was improved in conformity with geographical features and the climate condition of our nation, and has redeveloped as a Japanese original technology. In 1940's, Japan had serious natural disasters that were caused by large- scale typhoons. Those typhoons wiped out everything completely. Even though the government realized the importance of flood control and management after those natural disasters, civil work still aimed to economic development. Those construction works have become the one of factors for concentrating population and degrading natural environment in urban areas. Deterioration of river environment has become serious issue in urban development and main cause of pollution. The approaches for environmental restorations which were started about 30 years ago aimed to harmonize with nature environment and cities and human lives. There have been going on many projects called “river environmental improvement projects”, the “nature friendly river works” and “natural restoration projects.” The society has tried to find a way to live in harmony with nature.

    Long-Term Estimation on Nitrogen Flux in the Yamato River Basin Influenced by the Construction of Sewerage Treatment Systems

    AHW32-P08 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2020 Long-term Estimation on Nitrogen flux in the Yamato River Basin Influenced by the Construction of Sewerage Treatment Systems *Kunyang Wang1, Shin-ichi Onodera1, Mitsuyo Saito2, Yuta Shimizu3 1. Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Science, Hiroshima University, 2. Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University, 3. National Agriculture and Food Research Organization The quantification of the nitrogen discharge in water were most important indicators of the water environment in coastal area because these processes are related to the transport of large nutrient loads. The nitrogen pollution sources of the surface water environment are divided into point source pollution and non-point source pollution according to the different spatial distribution (Niraula et al. 2013; Lee et al. 2010). Nonpoint source nitrogen pollution is a leading contributor to world water quality impairments. (Steffen et al 2015). Sewage treatment system can significantly reducing pollutant emissions by multiple methods. The construction of sewage treatment systems does not happen overnight, it is divided into two parts: construction of sewage treatment plant and laying of underground pipelines into buildings. Especially for plumbing system, it is a long process. During this period, non-point source pollution from urban areas will be gradually transformed into point sources. Yamato river is a very important river in west Japan. It has a watershed area of 1067 square kilometers, covering almost half area of Nara prefecture. These have 5 sewage treatment plant in the watershed, 3 of them are located in Osaka Prefecture and others are in Nara Prefecture. These sewage treatment plants were successively constructed and put into use between 1974 and 1985.
