Chapter 1. Relationships Between Japanese Economy and Land
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. -

The 1St International Conference on Spring Technologies Tokyo, Japan November 16-18, 2015
The 1st International Conference on Spring Technologies Tokyo, Japan November 16-18, 2015 Scope Springs, which are simple machine parts which utilize elastic restoring force, have been used by mankind since ancient times. These days they are very familiar to us and are used in numerous machines and devices. We already understand the fundamental principles of springs and have established basic technologies for them. However, due to increasing demands for them to be smaller, lighter and more sophisticated, we must continue to improve their design and the manufacturing technology used to make them. This includes technology such as heat treatment and surface treatment. In consideration of such demands, the Japan Society of Spring Engineers (JSSE), while maintaining a close, collaborative relationship with the Japan Spring Manufacturers Association (JSMA) has been arranging a number of activities. These activities include establishing collaborative research committees, holding regular Spring and Autumn lectures as well as offering a variety of other lectures. The activities have been organized with a focus on the following three points: 1. To make research and development activities more fruitful 2. To improve benefits for members 3. To promote International Activities In an effort to enhance international activities, JSSE held an International Symposium in 2007 as part of events to commemorate its 60th anniversary and, in 2012, proposed the establishment of an International Committee to handle the International Conference on Spring Technologies (ICST). A preparatory meeting for the International Committee was held in Germany in September 2013, and the following three proposals were approved by all participants: 1. To establish the International Committee 2.
