Chiba-shi is a port and administrative centre in southern Kanto, the largest city in the eastern part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Region and located about forty kilometres from downtown Tokyo. The study privileges the role of process as a theoretical basis for exploring the dynamics of the production and transformation of urban space.

Estimation of Day-Long Population Dynamics of Workers Using Nation-Wide Statistical Data and Its Application to the Keihanshin Metropolitan Area, Japan
Estimation of Day-long Population Dynamics of Workers Using Nation-wide Statistical Data and its Application to the Keihanshin Metropolitan Area, Japan Keisuke Himoto 1, Junpei Kimata 2, Tomoaki Nishino 3 and Takeyoshi Tanaka 4 1 Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University , Kyoto , Japan 2 Construction Division, Aichi Prefectural Government, Nagoya, Japan 3 Department of Architecture, Kobe University, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan 4 Research Center for Disaster Mitigation of Cultural Heritage, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan email corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Extent of fatality due to natural disaster depends largely on spatial distribu- tion of population at the moment the disaster occurs. In this study, a com- putational model for estimating day-long spatio-temporal distribution of workers was developed by using a number of nation-wide statistical data such as "Population Census", "Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activi- ties", and “Economic Census”. The model estimates behavior of individual workers by considering their attributes including gender, occupation, place of work and residence, and whether he/she works at home or not. As a case study, the proposed model was applied to the Keihanshin (Kyoto-Osaka- Kobe) Metropolitan Area, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Japan. Estimated instantaneous number of workers unable to return home be- comes the maximum of about 1.4 million between 10:00 and 16:00, around which the utmost disorder in association with traffic disruption is expected if an earthquake strikes. 2 CUPUM conference papers 1.

Changement Identitaire Et Revendications Régionalistes Du Kansaï Au Japon
Université de Montréal Changement identitaire et revendications régionalistes du Kansaï au Japon par Sachiyo Kanzaki Département d’anthropologie Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales en vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) en anthropologie Octobre, 2013 © Kanzaki, 2013 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Cette thèse intitulée : Changement identitaire et revendications régionalistes au Kansaï, Japon Présentée par : Sachiyo Kanzaki a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Gilles Bibeau, président-rapporteur Bernard Bernier, directeur de recherche Thomas Lamarre, membre du jury John Price, examinateur externe Dominique Caouette, représentant du doyen de la FES Résumé Depuis quelque temps, au Japon, on utilise de plus en plus le terme « Kansaï » pour désigner la région du Kinki (littéralement « le voisinage de la capitale »). Cette thèse propose d’analyser l’émergence de cette entité régionale et de son discours culturel dans le but de pallier le manque de recherches antérieures sur la diversité socioculturelle et le régionalisme au Japon. Il y existe, d’une part, une volonté de considérer le Japon comme une entité homogène, et d’autre part, un contexte dans lequel le Japon lui-même prône l’homogénéité de son peuple. Historiquement, ces énoncés ont été réfutés à plusieurs reprises par différents chercheurs et organismes. Entre-temps, sur le plan régional, la diversité devient de moins en moins clairement observable dû à l’urbanisation, aux moyens de transport, à la migration interne et au développement des médias de masse. Cette situation à l'époque post-industrielle a engendré aujourd’hui le discours régionaliste du Kansaï.
