  • Ise-Shima National Park Lies on the Shima Peninsula, Located in the Center of Mie Prefecture in Western Japan
    A scared landscape featuring the historical site of Ise Jingu Grand Shrine, as well as a picturesque coastal route and bountiful seascape 12 Ise-Shima Ise-Shima National Park lies on the Shima Peninsula, located in the center of Mie prefecture in Western Japan. Ise-Shima National Park includes the municipalities of Ise, Toba, Shima, and Minami-Ise, occupying a vast area of National Park nearly 60,000 hectares. The park is broadly divided into two areas: the inland area which is home to Ise Jingu and its surrounding forests; and the coastal area which is characterized by an archipelagic landscape with intricate ria coasts. The interaction between people and nature is very profound in the region, and the essence of this relationship can be observed in the ancient tradition of ama, female diver, fishing, among other traditional cultural practices that have developed around Ise Jingu over the millennia. The wisdom to enjoy the bounties of nature in a sustainable manner is figured prominently in Ise Jinguʼs Shikinen Sengu, a ritual held once every 20 years whereby the shrine is rebuilt in its entirety. The region has a long history of providing seafood to the Imperial Court and Ise Jingu, and the Manyoshu (Japanʼs oldest poetry compilation) refers to the region as Miketsu Kuni or the "land of divine off erings". Thus, the region boasts a rich marine environment home to diverse aquatic life, including Japanese spiny lobster, abalones, turban shells, oysters, tunas, red sea breams, and various types of seaweed. The Kuroshio sea current has blessed the region with a warm climate, which has led to the development of Ise Jinguʼs lush forest and dense evergreen forests that cling to the foothills of the mountainous regions.

  • How Is the Gap Between the Concept and Practice of Integrated Sediment Management Bridged?
    K-3 Fourth International Conference on Scour and Erosion 2008 HOW IS THE GAP BETWEEN THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF INTEGRATED SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT BRIDGED? Koh-ichi FUJITA Member of JSCE, Research Coordinator for Environmental Affairs, Environment Dept., National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) (Asahi 1, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki-ken, 305-0804, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] In Japan, various and intensive modifications to river systems through projects for sediment/flood control, water resources development, electric power supply, river improvement and so on have played extremely important roles in mitigating flood/sediment related disasters and improving our lives and society. At the same time, they have changed river-basin-scale sediment transport systems, bringing new problems with their system soundness in terms of continuity, sustainability and ecological functions. Perceiving that this shows limitations of a locally optimized approach by the area and purpose, which had been taken because of its efficiency, the government has already laid out the concept of “integrated management of a sediment transport system” as a new national policy direction. However, there still appears to be the gap between the concept and its practice, which may retard sweeping development of the new policy. Instead of seeking for “magic technology” that alone can bridge the gap, this overview paper stresses three keys to firmly establishing integrated sediment management: (a) grasping and sharing an overall image of a sediment transport system by using a “common language” that macroscopically describes sediment transport phenomena, not being limited to excessively precise analysis; (b) appropriately performing a diagnosis to identify the structure of problems through a scenario-driven approach, not being preoccupied by stereotyped thoughts; (c) prioritizing the development of component technologies and linking them with policy setting & implementation processes.

  • Recent Trends in Japanese Transportation Masahiro Sugiyama
    Recent Trends in Japanese Transportation Masahiro Sugiyama 1. Countermeasures for Natural Disasters 2004 was a year with an unusually high occurrence of natural disasters. There were 10 typhoons from June and the country was visited by heavy rains in the Niigata/Fukushima region and Fukui region in July. The disasters led to more than 230 dead or missing and almost 170,000 homes immersed in water. In October, the Chuetsu Earthquake with an intensity of 7 rocked the country, resulting in 40 deaths and the evacuation of over 100,000 people. In December, furthermore, the Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake and ensuing tsunami, led to approximately 100,000 dead or missing in 10 countries around the Indian Ocean. Many Japanese were among the victims. Faced with such a serious situation, the annual White Paper on Land, Infrastructure and Transport in Japan 2005 published in fiscal 2004 mentions the disaster recovery countermeasures and rebuilding support offered by the national government and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport under the title of "Aiming to Build a Country Resilient to Disasters." This attempt was made to actively respond to social needs, and discussion includes actions taken against heavy rains and typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis.

  • Transport Policy in Perspective : 2005
    TRANSPORT POLICY IN PERSPECTIVE : 2005 Preface Automobiles made rapid advances in the last century, surpassing railways to take over the main role of surface transport, and contributed greatly to the advancement of global socio-economic systems. Therefore, the 20th Century is very much "the Century of Automobiles". Automobiles are now playing a major role in moving people and transporting goods. Our lifestyles and the economy are based upon the mobility provided by automobiles in all aspects of our society, from where we live and how we do business. Our "automobile-dependent society" has become the base for more affluent lifestyles. On the other hand, road traffic problems including traffic accidents, traffic congestion, and environmental problems such as global warming and air pollution, social problems including the transport poor, urban sprawl and the decline of city centers, are widely acknowledged as serious problems throughout the world. Under these circumstances, we are reaching a major turning point in the movement toward a mature motorized society for the 21st Century. Fortunately, advanced road traffic systems and next generation motor vehicles that will be safer as well as more environmentally friendly are beginning to emerge. These include technological innovations for motor vehicle themselves, such as less polluting and more efficient hybrid motor vehicles, and the development of intelligent motor vehicles and roads that use ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) technology. In addition to the globalization of our economy, we must reassess the significance of roads and motor vehicle traffic systems in the overall transportation system in Japan, where the society has become more urbanized while the total population is declining and the population is aging rapidly.
