We intended to establish a large population-based cohort study to determine environmental, lifestyle, and genetic risk factors of musculoskeletal and other age-related diseases, and to clarify the association between vitamin D status and such diseases. Methods: We targeted 34,802 residents aged 40–74 years living in areas of northern Niigata Prefecture, including Sekikawa Village, Awashimaura Village, and Murakami City (Murakami region). The baseline questionnaire survey, conducted between 2011 and 2013, queried respondents on their lifestyle and environmental factors (predictors), and self-reported outcomes. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration, an indicator of vitamin D status, was determined with the Liaison® 25OH Vitamin D Total Assay. The primary outcome of this study was osteoporotic fracture; other outcomes included age-related diseases including knee osteoarthritis, perception of chronic pain, dementia, and long-term care insurance use. Mean ages of men and women were 59.2 (SD = 9.3, N = 6907) and 59.0 (SD = 9.3, N = 7457) years, respectively.

(2) Compulsory Education Under the compulsory education system, all children are required to attend and graduate both elementary and junior high school. Although the compulsory education requirement applies only to Japanese nationals, non-Japanese children between the ages of 6-15 living in Japan are able to attend elementary and junior high school at the same cost as a Japanese child regardless of their nationality. Additionally, in 1994, Japan ratified the “Convention on the Rights of the Child” adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989. This convention mandates that the right of all children to an education must be recognized. While Japan does not mandate that the guardians of non-Japanese children force their children to receive an education, children are guaranteed their right to one.

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

  • Tourism As a Key for Regional Revitalization?: a Quantitative Evaluation of Tourism Zone Development in Japan
    sustainability Article Tourism as a Key for Regional Revitalization?: A Quantitative Evaluation of Tourism Zone Development in Japan Hyunjung Kim 1 and Eun Jung Kim 2,* 1 Institute of Construction and Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Urban Planning, Keimyung University, Daegu 42601, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-580-5247 Abstract: Since the dawn of the 21st century, Japan has switched its national industry strategy from traditional industries—manufacturing and trading—toward tourism. Regional revitalization is a particularly important issue in Japan, and by uniting regions as an integrated tourism zone, the government expects an increase in visits to tourism zones. This study quantitatively evaluates whether the regions that contain a tourism zone experience a significant increase in visitors by using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. Additionally, it examines the effects of subsidies through regression modeling. The results indicated that the tourism zones that were comprised of a narrow region in the same prefectures experienced a significant increase in visitors. The subsidy on information transmission, measures for the secondary traffic, and space formation had a significant positive impact on the increase in visitors to these tourism zones. Implications on tourism policies, urban and regional development, and community development can be obtained through this study. Keywords: tourism zone development; regional revitalization; tourism nation; Japanese tourism Citation: Kim, H.; Kim, E.J.

  • Flood Control in Small Urban Rivers: an Example of River Projects in Tokyo
    Urban Water 215 Flood control in small urban rivers: an example of river projects in Tokyo K. Sato1, K. Masuhara1, S. Mochida1, T. Yamamoto2, H. Gotoh3 & M. Takezawa3 1Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Japan 2Chuo College of Technology, Japan 3Department of Civil Engineering, Nihon University, Japan Abstract The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has conducted a variety of river projects to protect citizens and their property from damage due to flooding, storm surges, and landslides. Projects have also been undertaken to improve and create riversides that support nature, and to protect and restore the natural environment. The hardening of urban and inner city areas with high population densities and developed areas have relatively poor water retention and flood prevention properties. Consequently, these areas have sustained extensive water damage during times of heavy rainfall and flooding. Indeed, extensive flood damage was observed in downtown areas as recently as September 2005 and August 2008, demonstrating the need to implement additional flood mitigation measures to prevent flood damage in the metropolitan area. The number of rivers currently under the direct management of the TMG is 61 class A rivers and two class B rivers, which together measure 494.82 km. In addition, the city office of the TMG also controls 33 class A rivers and 13 class B rivers, which together equal 215.91 km.
