Technical Note of PWRI No. 4162 Report on 2004 - 2008 JICA Training Course “Flood Hazard Mapping” By Mr. Shigenobu Tanaka Mr. Daisuke Kuribayashi ICHARM conducted the JICA training course “Flood Hazard Mapping” as a region-focused training course for East and Southeast Asia from FY2004 to FY2008. The training course aimed at flood damage mitigation by enhancing the technical level of flood countermeasures and promoting flood hazard mapping. The target population was technical managers or engineers engaging in flood or river management. The training course basically accepted about 16 trainees per year, two each from the eight target countries (China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia), and totally 78 participants over the five years. This training course was one core activity of ICHARM and also contributed ICHARM information networking activities. This is a report to describe the contents, evaluate the result of the course over the five years and contribute to plan the next new training course.

Although structural measures, such as levees, are effective to mitigate such flood damage, it is equally important to distribute flood-related information to residents in the form of “flood hazard maps” in normal times. Flood hazard maps can inform residents of past inundations, anticipated inundation areas, evacuation routes and sites and other relevant information, which are all useful to prepare for future flood events. In developing countries where implementation of structural flood countermeasures may not progress as it should due to lack of financial and human resources, this type of non-structural measures is particularly effective and should be put into use promptly to alleviate flood damages. Established in March 2006 as an integral part of the Public Works Research Institute (PWRI), the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM) has been engaged in a wide range of activities organized around the centre’s three principal pillars – “research,” “training,” and “information networking.” ICHARM first started conducting the “Flood Hazard Mapping” training course as a region-focused training course for East and Southeast Asia in cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). It was in 2004 when it was still the Secretariat for Preparatory Activities of ICHARM, the centre’s predecessor. The training course was conducted for five years from FY2004 to 2008. The training course aimed at flood damage mitigation by enhancing the technical level of flood countermeasures and promoting flood hazard mapping in Southeast Asian countries. Table 1-1 shows the outline of this five-year training course. 1.2 What are flood hazard maps? Flood hazard maps are produced principally to mitigate human loss during flooding due to levee breaches and other causes. They typically provide such information as anticipated inundation areas and depths as well as evacuation sites and their phone numbers (Figure 1-1). In Japan, local municipalities produce and distribute their local flood hazard maps produced based on anticipated inundation area maps prepared by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). As of November 2009, a total of 993 municipalities produced and published local flood hazard maps (according to the Hazard Map Survey conducted in November 2009 posted at the “MLIT Hazard Map Portal Site” http://www1.gsi.go.jp/geowww/disapotal/). However, there are issues to be addressed. Even though a local government has provided flood hazard maps to every household, their effective use is totally up to residents. In many cases, the mere distribution of the maps does not lead to the expected results. Residents still need to be informed of how they can effectively use them. 1 Table 1-1 Outline of the Region-focused Training Course “Flood Hazard Mapping” Course title Region-focused Training Course “Flood Hazard Mapping” Implementing Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) organizations International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM) of the Public Works Research Institute (PWRI) Target countries Eight countries (China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia) No. of trainees Two trainees per country Training periods Fiscal year Training periods No. of trainees No. of trainees (No. of weeks) FY2004 Jan.31-Feb.18, 2005 (3) 16 FY2005 Nov.17-Dec.2, 2005 (4) 16 FY2006 Oct.30-Dec.1, 2006 (5) 16 FY2007 Oct.29-Nov.30, 2007 (5) 20 (including two from a counterpart training course) FY2008 Oct.27-Nov.28, 2008, (5) 10 Target population Technical manager or engineer engaging in flood or river management Language English Figure 1-1 Flood hazard map (Kurihashi, Saitama Prefecture) 2 Chapter 2 Preparation for the Training Course 2.1 Target countries Target countries were selected on the following conditions: they had consistently suffered from considerable flood damage, and they could use flood hazard mapping effectively in flood control. Eventually, the following eight countries were selected based also on requests from JICA local offices and coordination with other related agencies. Each country was allowed to send two trainees. China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, The Philippines, Malaysia 2.2 Expected results The training course set the some “expected results” for course trainees to achieve so that they would effectively acquire expertise in flood hazard mapping, which they could use to contribute to flood damage mitigation in their countries. Those goals were modified every year over the five-year implementation period. The followings actually set for the last year of the training course. The course output also was described in the next section on “General Information”. Expected Result in 2008 (1)(1)(1) To acquire general knowledge on the flood hazard map in Japan and the world and capability of explanationexplanation.... (2)(2)(2) To acquire professional knowledgknowledgee and techniques of runrun----offoff analysis, GIS and inundation analysisanalysis,, and be able to make an anticipated inundation area map and capability of explanationexplanation.... (3)(3)(3) To acquire knowledge on how to make, disseminate, and utilize the flood hazard map in Japan and capcapabilityability of explanation. (4)(4)(4) To consider the way to effectively make, disseminate, and utiliutilizeze the flood hazard map through studying Japan’s cases, and make action plans which include activities after returning to their countries. Trainees were given examinations and evaluated for class contributions to assess their achievement levels concerning the goals. The procedure was carefully carried out to secure objectivity. 3 2.3 Development of the General Information The General Information (GI) is the recruitment guidelines for the training course. It was distributed to relevant organizations in the target countries through JICA local offices. The following information was included in the GI. Outline of the training course (training period, objectives, curriculum) Application requirements Application procedures Rules during the stay in Japan Additional information (instructions on the ”Country Report” assignment and data that each trainee should bring for his/her research) In September 2004, when the target countries were selected, ICHARM developed the GI with JICA and distributed it to relevant organizations in the selected countries. The GI was reviewed and modified every year after each training period to improve the course contents for a subsequent period. 2.4 Preliminary investigation on the target countries After the final decision was made on the implementation of this training course based on a multilateral discussion among PWRI, JICA and other relevant agencies, an investigation team consisting of PWRI and JICA staff members was organized and sent to visit the Philippines, Thailand, and Laos from 10 to 18 November 2004.

  • Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J
    Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).

McNair ___________________________ Maya Stiller ___________________________ Maki Kaneko ___________________________ Kyoim Yun Date Defended: 5 October 2018 The dissertation committee for Ye-Gee Kwon certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Embracing Death and the Afterlife: Sculptures of Enma and His Entourage at Rokuharamitsuji ___________________________ Chair: Sherry D. Fowler Date Approved: 5 October 2018 ii Abstract This dissertation investigates a sculptural group of Enma and his entourage that was once enshrined in an Enma hall located within the Kyoto temple Rokuharamitsuji precinct, and hopes to highlight the role that significant yet understudied sculptures played in the development of the cult of Enma and the Ten Kings in premodern Japan. Rokuharamitsuji is of great importance to study the cult of Enma and the Ten Kings not only for its rare early sculptures of Enma and his two assistants created in the thirteenth century when the cult began to flourish in Japan, but also for the later addition of a seventeenth-century Datsueba sculpture, which reveals the evolution of the cult through its incorporation of Japanese popular belief. This study examines how the Rokuharamitsuji sculptural group presented images of hell within a designated space and conveyed messages of salvation to their beholders, responding to the environs of the salvation- oriented temple.

  • A Checklist and Bibliography of Parasites of Salmonids of Japan
    ;r c j . 3 $JJ#~,Sci. Rep. Hokkaido Salmon Hatchery, (41) : 1-75 (1987) A Checklist and Bibliography of Parasites of Salmonids of Japan Kazuya NAGASAWA*',Shigehiko URAWA", and Teruhiko AWAKURA*~ Abstract Information on the parasites of salmonids in Japanese waters that was published during the years 1889-1986 is assembled in the form of Parasite-Host and Host- Parasite lists with accompanying bibliography. Ninety-four named species of parasites (18 Protozoa, 5 Monogenea, 21 Trematoda, 7 Cestoidea, 19 Nematoda, 15 Acanthocephala, 1 Hirudinoidea, 1 Mollusca, 1 Branchiura, 5 Copepoda, 1 Isopoda) have been reported, and numerous other parasites not identified to species level are also included. The Parasite-Host list, arranged on a taxonomic basis, includes for each parasite species its currently recognized scientific name, and synonyms oc- curring in the literature, habitat (freshwater or marine), location of infection (site) within the host, species of host(s), known geographical distribution in Japanese waters, and the published source for each host and locality record. Where neces- sary, remarks and footnotes dealing with such topics as taxonomy, nomenclature, and misidentifications are included. The Host-Parasite list summarizes the species of parasites from each species of salmonid and their geographical distributions. Although taxonomic revision is not the aim of the checklist, the following three new combinations and one new synonym are proposed : Microsporidium takedai (Awa- kura, 1974) n. comb. for Nosemu tukedui ; Sterliudochonu ephemeridurum (Linstow, 1872) n. comb. for Cystidicoloides ephemeridurum ; and Salvelinema ishii (Fujita, 1941) new synonym of S. salvelini (Fujita, 1939) n. comb. for Metabronemu salvelini.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract In this study, we examined the influences of the differences in basin scale and river-crossing structures of 8 rivers of Ise Bay in Mie and Aichi Prefectures, Japan on the vegetation in the estua- rine tidal flats of these rivers. The dominant plant communities of the estuarine tidal flats formed from rivers of large-scale river basins (exceeding 300 km2) were determined. In the Miya River, the dominant plant community was the Suaeda maritima and Artemisia fukudo community. In the Kushida River, the dominant plant community was composed of Phacelurus latifolius, Artemisia fukudo, Phragmites australis, and bamboo. In the Kumozu River, the dominant community was composed of the coastal plants Calystegia soldanella, Lathyrus japonicus, and Carex pumila and the exotic plant of Lolium multiflorum. The plant community of Suzuka River was dominated by the exotic plant of Eragrostis curvula.
