  • Research on Prevention and Mitigation of Flood-Related Disasters in the World by Utilizing Integrated Risk Management Approach
    -Priority Research Project- Research on prevention and mitigation of flood-related disasters in the world by utilizing integrated risk management approach Research Period: FY2005-2010 Project Leader: Director of Water-related Hazard Research Group TERAKAWA Akira Research Group: Water-related Hazard Research Group Cold-Region Hydraulic and Aquatic Environment Engineering Research Group Abstract: In order to make contribution for preventing and mitigating flood-related disasters in the world, this project covers several topics for integrated risk assessment and risk management in various natural and social conditions. The research topics in FY2006 include analysis of social vulnerability to flood disaster, flood forecasting and warning making use of satellite information, flood hazard mapping and experimental/analytical study on the behavior of tsunami wave running up into rivers. The outputs from the project are expected to be used as training materials for practical engineers of developing countries in charge of flood related disasters management. Key words: flood, tsunami, risk management, capacity building, forecasting, warning, hazard map -Individual Themes- A case study on asistance for strengthning flood damage mitigation measurers Budged: Grants for operating expenses General account Research Period: FY2006-2008 Research Team: Disaster Prevention Author: YOSHITANI Junichi TAKEMOTO Norimichi Abstract: This study is to summarize analyses of local vulnerability for water hazards and tangible measurers for strengthening damage mitigation systems on a regional basis. In fiscal 2006, we selected two countries of Philippines and Sri Lanka and did factor analysis of flood damages by means of literature research. Furthermore, regarding Bangladesh, we collected additional information mainly by hearings, formed a hypothesis and verified it by field survey.

  • 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).

  • Consensus Building with Participation in River Management ―――As the Examples of Dam Project―――
    CONSENSUS BUILDING WITH PARTICIPATION IN RIVER MANAGEMENT ―――AS THE EXAMPLES OF DAM PROJECT――― Yutaka TakahasiTakahasi(Prof. Emeritus , the University of Tokyo ) (Executive Board Member, Japanese National Water Problems Association) (Senior Program Adviser, United Nations University) Yoshiko MonmaMonma(Executive Researcher, Japanese National Water Problems Association) Japanese National Water Problems Association 4-11-2-304 Arakawa, Arakawa-ku,Tokyo 116-0002,Japan Prolog This report has been made from the part of achievement of Japanese National Water Problems Association for more than 30 years. This 30 years correspond to the active period of water resources development in Japan. Because, most of confusion and conflict relating to dam project in Japan today have its history for more than 30 years or so. We have had cooperated with the residents and the local government who had suffered from long-term negotiations with planners (most of them were the Government experts) for more than 30 years, during that time, it was very rare case and the difficult time for them to cooperate with the residents.. However, the government of Japan recently abandoned more than 92 dam construction projects. While such a change in the policy is attributed to the economy crisis and surplus of water resources by the government, very long delays in negotiation both dam constructors and project-affected residents, in terms of monetary and societal losses. These losses should be compensated. Modalities should be established so that either agreement between those related or cancellation of the project could be made without major delay in decision-making. The bitter experiences in Japan should be examined so that useful lessons may be secured both for Japan and other countries in abroad.

  • Characteristics of Heavy Rainfall and Flood Damage in Aichi Prefecture from September 11Th to 12Th 2000
    Journal of Natural Disaster Science, Volume 24, Number 1, 2002, pp15-24 Characteristics of Heavy Rainfall and Flood Damage in Aichi Prefecture from September 11th to 12th 2000 Haruhiko YAMAMOTO Faculty of Agriculture, Yamaguchi University Kiyoshi IWAYA United Department of Agricultural Science, Graduate School of Tottori University (Received for 4. Apr., 2002) ABSTRACT Record heavy rainfall occurred in Aichi Prefecture from September 11 to 12 2000. We collected about 250 sam- ples of precipitation data observed by various organizations, and analyzed the characteristics of the heavy rainfall that occurred in Aichi Prefecture. The Midori Ward Engineering-Works Office, Nagoya City recorded a daily precipitation of 499.5mm on September 11th and 147.5mm on the 12th. The total precipitation was 647.0mm. In the area from Midori Ward, Nagoya City to Agui Town in Chita district, in the NNE to SSW direction and area 6km wide by 20km long, total precipitation exceeded 600mm. Heavy rainfall of more than 80mm in the area run- ning north and south from Moriyama Ward, Nagoya City to Agui Town appeared at 19:00, and strong rainfall occurred in the surrounding region. Flood damage was severe in 3km north-south and 1km east-west areas bounded by the Shin River, JR Tokaido, Nagoya Railroad Inuyama , and Johoku lines. In the southwest part of Ashihara-cho, Nishi Ward where the bank of the Shin River collapsed and in Nishibiwajima Town, flood depth exceeded 200cm in buildings. Aichi Prefecture is located in the center of Japan and faces the 1. INTRODUCTION Pacific Ocean to the south.
