  • Land Readjustment for Transit-Oriented Suburbanization and Land Value Capture the Case of Tsukuba Express and the Kashiwanoha Campus Township
    Land Readjustment for Transit-oriented Suburbanization and Land Value Capture The case of Tsukuba Express and the Kashiwanoha Campus Township Japan Project Brief Background and Objectives Tsukuba Express is the latest large-scale suburban rail extension that integrates private housing development and public infrastructure investment in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The 58.3-km line with 20 stations came into operation in 2005 to offer fast travel between central Tokyo (Akihabara) and the nation’s largest research hub (Tsukuba Science City) by serving several satellite towns across four prefectures. The new train service takes around 45 minutes from end to end at the maximum speed of 130 km per hour. When the development plan of Tsukuba Express was proposed, the demand for housing was rapidly swelling over Tokyo and the existing commuting line around the northeast area of Tokyo was seriously congested as there were no alternative modes and routes in the area. To meet the surging demand for both suburban housing and transportation capacity, the national government enacted the Housing-Railway Integration Law of 1989 for the development of Tsukuba Express. Two years later, the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company was established jointly with several local governments and private entities along the new railway corridor. The company skillfully took advantage of zero- interest loans and land readjustment projects to reduce the cost of rail construction, since other suburban rail lines struggled with the payment of loan interests during the 1980’s and 1990’s. Project Overview Kenkyu-gakuen Tsukuba Banpaku-kinenkoen Midorino Special Land Readjustment Practices Major town developmentarea Miraidaira The national government introduced a “special” Ibaragi Prefecture land readjustment approach that aims to Moriya supply a large volume of new housing lots into Kashiwanoha-campus Kashiwa-Tanaka the high-demand market together with fast rail Saitama Prefecture infrastructure and services to and from central Nagareyama-otakanomori Nagareyama-centralpark Tokyo.

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

  • Tokyo to Osaka: Subduction by Slow Train*
    TOKYO TO OSAKA: SUBDUCTION BY SLOW TRAIN* Wes Gibbons 2020 This Holiday Geology guide offers an alternative approach to train travel between Tokyo and the Osaka/Kyoto/Nara area. The journey takes it slow by using the extensive network of local trains, giving time to enjoy the scenery and sample a taste of everyday life in Japan. Instead of hurtling from Tokyo to Osaka by Shinkansen bullet train in three hours, our route takes over a week as we meander from the suburbs of Greater Tokyo to the peaceful shrines of Kamakura and the spa-town of Atami, skirting Mount Fuji to pass Nagoya on the way to the isolated splendours of the Kii Peninsula before reconnecting with the urban masses on the approach to Osaka. For those with extra time to spend, we recommend finishing the trip off with a visit to Nara (from where Kyoto is less than an hour away). The journey is a very Japanese experience. You will see few non-Japanese people in most of the places visited, and it is difficult not to be impressed with the architecture, history, scenery and tranquillity of the many shrines passed on the way. The Kii Peninsula in particular offers a glimpse into Old Japan, especially because the route includes walking along parts of the Kumano Kudo ancient pilgrimage trail (Days 5-7). *Cite as: Gibbons, W. 2020.

  • Environmental Radiation Status in Nagareyama City (Chiba Prefecture) After the TEPCO Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant Disaster
    Environmental radiation status in Nagareyama city (Chiba prefecture) after the TEPCO Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant disaster Sadao IIIZUMII1), Hirofumi FUJII2), Takeshi IIMOTO3)* 1)Nagareyama City Local Government 2)National Cancer Center Hospital East 3)The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8654, Japan *[email protected] Nagareyama city is located in the northwestern part of Chiba prefecture in the metropolitan area of Tokyo, Japan. The city is located ~200 km south of the TEPCO Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. As of April 1, 2012, the population of the city was 166,493 and its area was 35.28 km2. Responding to many requests from the citizens, the local government has performed official surveys of environmental radiation status after the disaster. The radiation surveillance in this area has been conducted by the radiation protection specialists. The two primary measured quantities were (1) the ambient radiation dose (microsieverts per hour) at all school yards, public parks and at representative locations as selected by the local government, and (2) the specific radioactivity (becquerels per kilogram) of the drinking water and of local food items. These data have been reported on the city’s website, in addition to being reported three times per month in the public relations magazine of the local government. This presentation provides the background status and technical information on the related activities. In addition, this presentation documents the measured environmental radiation data. The ambient radiation dose in the city has been surveyed since June of 2011. In the 1st period of the surveillance (from May to September of 2011), data were collected from 40 locations.

    DOI: 10.15669/pnst.4.9 Progress in Nuclear Science and Technology Volume 4 (2014) pp. 9-13 ARTICLE Dispersion of Cs-134 and Cs-137 in river waters from Fukushima and Gunma prefectures at nine months after the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident Seiya Nagaoa*, Masaki Kanamorib, Shinya Ochiaia, Kyuma Suzukic and Masayoshi Yamamotoa a Low Level Radioactivity Laboratory, Kanazawa University, 24 O, Wake, Nomi-shi, Ishikawa-ken, 923-1224, Japan; b Graduate School of Nature and Environmental Technology, Kanazawa University, Kakuma, Kanazawa-shi, Ishikawa-ken, 920-1192, Japan; c Gunma Prefectural Fisheries Experimental Station, 13 Shikishima, Maebashi-shi, Gunma-ken, 371-1036, Japan To estimate short-term and long-term impacts of radiation dose, dynamics of 134Cs and 137Cs in river watershed environments were studied in Fukushima and Gunma prefectures at nine months after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) accident. Radioactivity of 134Cs and 137Cs in the river waters ranged respectively from 0.007 Bq/l to 0.149 Bq/l and 0.008 Bq/l to 0.189 Bq/l. Their horizontal distributions were consistent with those of material that had been deposited on the ground surface. The percentages of particulate forms of 134Cs and 137Cs were 56–89% for the Fukushima river samples. Results show that the transport of 134Cs and 137Cs from the watershed to the river waters occurred mainly as particulate forms and that their radioactivity depends on the levels of radioactivity at the watersheds of the respective river systems. Keywords: 134Cs; 137Cs; radiocesium; existence forms; lake waters; transport behavior 1. Introduction1 2.
