    Iwate Prefecture Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Reconstruction Plan Basic Reconstruction Plan To Protect Life, To Live Together with the Sea and Land, and To Create a Homeland Iwate and Sanriku August 2011 Iwate Prefecture Developing the Plan Many precious lives and property were lost in the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, the giant tsunami that followed, and the subsequent intermittent aftershocks. I would like to once again pray for those who were sacrificed and express my sincere sympathy for those affected by the disaster. In addition, I would like to give thanks from the bottom of my heart for the volunteer activities performed around Japan and throughout the world at the time of this Great Earthquake and Tsunami, and also for the sympathy, encouragement, goods, donations, and other various support provided. Moving in the direction of reconstruction, on April 11, one month after the disaster, a “Basic Policy for the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Reconstruction Efforts” was drawn up. In this policy, ensuring humane living conditions, education, and jobs for survivors, thereby guaranteeing the right of every individual to the pursuit of happiness, and inheriting the hopes and dreams the victims had for their hometowns, were chosen as the two underlying principles. The reconstruction plan was drawn up as a blueprint for the region, heading towards reconstruction. Following the way in which Shinpei Goto, born in Iwate Prefecture, launched the Imperial Capital Reconstruction Department after the Great Kanto Earthquake and proposed bold reconstruction measures through exhaustive surveys and fine-tuned analysis, an Iwate Prefecture East Japan Great Earthquake and Tsunami Reconstruction Committee was established, made up of academic experts, specialists, and representatives from all fields and all levels within the prefecture.

  • Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku)
    TM Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku) Tōhoku Vorwort Selbst Besuchern, die schon in Japan waren, ist die Region Tōhoku, die den nördlichen Teil der Hauptinsel Honshū umfasst, oft gänzlich unbekannt. Dabei findet man hier all das, was Japan so faszinierend macht, und zudem ohne Besuchermassen. Bis vor kurzem war der Norden Honshūs tatsächlich schwierig zu bereisen – die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel waren nicht so gut ausgebaut wie im südlichen Teil von Honshū, und auch die englisch- sprachige Ausschilderung ließ noch zu wünschen übrig. Dies alles ist nun im Vorfeld der Olympischen Sommerspiele in Tokio 2020 in Angriff genommen worden. Tōhoku begeistert mit großartigen Landschaften wie den Heiligen Drei Bergen Dewa San- zan in Yamagata, der berühmten Bucht von Matsushima nahe der Stadt Sendai, oder mit der Mondlandschaft um den Vulkan Osorezan. Für kulturell Interessierte bieten die UNESCO Weltkulturerbe-Stätten von Hiraizumi einen Einblick in vergangene Feudalzei- ten. Zahlreiche Feste wie das berühmte Nebuta Matsuri in Aomori oder das Reiter-Festi- val Soma Nomaoi locken jedes Jahr zigtausende Besucher in die Region. FASZINIEREND — BUNT — JAPAN Kurz: es gibt hier Vieles zu entdecken in einer bisher wenig besuchten Region Japans. Das findet inzwischen auch Lonely Planet: für das Jahr 2020 steht Tōhoku an dritter Stelle WIR FLIEGEN SIE HIN! unter den vom Lonely Planet an Top 10 gesetzten Regionen weltweit.

  • Assessment of Tsunami Flood Situation from the Great East Japan Earthquake 55
    Assessment of Tsunami Flood Situation from the Great East Japan Earthquake 55 Assessment of Tsunami Flood Situation from the Great East Japan Earthquake Hidetoshi NAKAJIMA and Mamoru KOARAI Abstract The massive tsunami from the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake (hereinafter referred to as the “Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake”) that occurred on March 11, 2011, caused devastating damages along the Pacific Coast. The GSI immediately formed an emergency team and started investigating to uncover the situation of tsunami damage. We emphasized on promptness in the beginning of the survey, created the "Tsunami flood area overview map" with a purpose of improving the accuracy in our best effort over time, and kept on distributing the maps to the municipalities of the affected areas, the national disaster response headquarters etc, while also releasing this information on the GSI website. In addition to calculating the areas of inundation by the municipalities and by land use, an attempt was made to analyze the distance and elevation reached by tsunami in coastal Miyagi Prefecture. Furthermore, elevation was measured precisely by aerial laser survey mainly on areas where ground subsidence occurred due to the earthquake, and high precision elevation data and the digital elevation topographic map have been prepared/provided. 1. Creating an inundation area overview map There are two types of error cause which are 1.1 Method of creation "interpretation error" and "error in transferring onto Immediately after the tsunami disasters triggered by topographic map". Since single (aerial) photographs are the Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake on March 11th, the used for the interpretation, difference in landform GSI decided to create an "Tsunami flood area overview interpretation skills has little effect on the former, whereas map" to find out the situation of tsunami damage, and landform interpretation skills would be required to minimize created a damage overview map and also discussed about the latter.
