  • Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City That Pursues Harmony
    Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City that Pursues Harmony between Conservation and Development- 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY’S BIODIVERSITY RESOURCES Geography The city of Kanazawa is located near the center of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is bordered to the north by the Noto Peninsula and to the west by the Sea of Japan, with its coast covered by sand dunes which extend north into the famous Uchinada Dune. Mt. Okuiozen (939 m) and other mountainous areas to the east separate the city from neighboring Toyama Prefecture, while mountains in the southeast rise to altitudes of over 1,500 m above the sea level, with Mt. Naradake (1,644 m) being the highest peak within the metropolitan area. Kanazawa‟s most important watercourses, the Sai and Asano Rivers, have their sources in these mountain systems, from where they flow towards the Sea of Japan, dividing the city into 3 plateaus. Further downstream, the Sai River divides the plains to the west of the city into a northern and a southern area, with different characteristics. The northern area is an alluvial plain formed by deposits of gravel, sand, clay and silt, which have been transported by the Sai, Asano, Kanakusari and Morishita Rivers. It is characterized by low humidity and mild slopes and contains the largest body of stagnant water in Ishikawa Prefecture, the Kahoku Lagoon (4.13 km2). On the other hand, the southern plain represents the northeastern part of the alluvial fan formed by Tedori River, the longest river in the prefecture, having a more hilly structure than the northern plain.

  • Analysis of the Effects of Air Transport Liberalisation on the Domestic Market in Japan
    Chikage Miyoshi Analysis Of The Effects Of Air Transport Liberalisation On The Domestic Market In Japan COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis Academic year 2006-2007 Chikage Miyoshi Analysis of the effects of air transport liberalisation on the domestic market in Japan Supervisor: Dr. G. Williams May 2007 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2007. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the different experiences in the Japanese domestic air transport market compared to those of the intra-EU market as a result of liberalisation along with the Slot allocations from 1997 to 2005 at Haneda (Tokyo international) airport and to identify the constraints for air transport liberalisation in Japan. The main contribution of this study is the identification of the structure of deregulated air transport market during the process of liberalisation using qualitative and quantitative techniques and the provision of an analytical approach to explain the constraints for liberalisation. Moreover, this research is considered original because the results of air transport liberalisation in Japan are verified and confirmed by Structural Equation Modelling, demonstrating the importance of each factor which affects the market. The Tokyo domestic routes were investigated as a major market in Japan in order to analyse the effects of liberalisation of air transport. The Tokyo routes market has seven prominent characteristics as follows: (1) high volume of demand, (2) influence of slots, (3) different features of each market category, (4) relatively low load factors, (5) significant market seasonality, (6) competition with high speed rail, and (7) high fares in the market.

It considers the suspension of local route op- eration by a monopoly airline that changes the network structure from fully-connected to hub-and-spoke. The main finding is that hub-and-spoke networks are preferable from the standpoint of social welfare when travel demand of local routes is low, when flights are expensive to operate, and when passengers place a high value on flight frequencies. How- ever, when the local travel demand is similar to that of urban routes, the fully-connected systems are chosen by a social planner.

Introduction After deregulation in the late 1980's, rivalry in the Japanese airline industry became fierce.
