    Matsushima Bay as an Early Holocene coastal mega-landslide, Northeast Japan Shuichi Hasegawa (Kagawa University, Japan) Timihiro Sawada (Sawa Soft Science, Japan) Ranjan Kumar Dahal (Kagawa University, Japan and Tribhuvan University, Nepal) Atsuko Nonomura (Kagawa University, Japan) Minoru Yamanaka (Kagawa University, Japan) Abstract. Matsushima, a group of island at Matsushima Bay visited both Matsushima and Kisakata. He composed three in Miyagi Prefecture, northeast Japan, is one of the three haiku poems for Kisakata, but he could not express his famous scenic spots of Japan. It is composed of more than excitement in a haiku poem for Matsushima. 200 islands in Matsushima Bay and the islands just out into Matsushima and Matsushima Bay have long been the sea. Topographically Matsushima Bay suddenly breaks considered as a typical submerged coast, but they are inferred the gently concaved coastline from Sendai Bay to Ishinomaki to have been formed by a coastal mega-landslide in middle Bay. Matsushima and Matsushima Bay have been considered Holocene age from geological and topographical inferences. as a typical submerged coast, but they are inferred to have been formed by a coastal mega-landslide in middle Holocene age from geological and topographical evidences. Keywords. Mega-landslide, Holocene, Jomon transgression, Active fault, topography 1. Introduction Mega-landslides due to volcanic activities and earthquakes have caused severe damage to the surrounding areas. Sector collapse of volcanoes is one of the most destructive landslides. Debris avalanche deposits from a sector collapse generally form strange topography punctuated by hundreds of small hills, ridges and closed depressions. The 1792 Mayuyama sector collapse of Unzen volcano in Kyushu, southern Japan, caused debris avalanche which flowed through ancient Shimabara City and entered the sea.

    Studies on the Urban and Local Level Securement of Disaster Preparedness Functions of Coastal Cities and Towns After the Great Tohoku Earthquake

    Proceedings of International Symposium on City Planning 2013 Studies on the Urban and Local Level Securement of Disaster Preparedness Functions of Coastal Cities and Towns after the Great Tohoku Earthquake Nozomu Kiuchi* Abstract In the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, in Pacific coastal areas of Tohoku region in Japan, many of the public facilities such as fire department and municipal office, hospital, etc., were severely damaged by tsunami submergence and earthquake vibration. These facilities were supposed to function as disaster preparedness facilities in such occasions, and the result was such that many of the municipalities, during the crisis and the recovery process, lacked all or a part of the disaster preparedness functions and could not react to the situation autonomously. The main purpose of this study is, investigate, from city planning point of view, suggestions to locations and functions of disaster preparedness facilities, from studies of the Great Tohoku Earthquake experience. Many interviews, in addition to document investigations, in 4 tsunami-affected cities and towns were made to person in charge of these facilities on the deprivation and recovery process of the functions. This article will focus on the phenomenon, in urban and local level to secure disaster preparedness functions, that were clarified from investigation of 4 case study municipalities; Ishinomaki City, Minami-Sanriku Town, Ofunato City, and Kamaishi City. As a result, such types of responses were seen and the followings are the suggestion to disaster mitigation city planning. 1) Deprivation, substitution and relocation of functions. 2) Consolidation and dispersal of headquarter functions. 3) Hierarchy of stations for external disaster relief teams.

    Increasing Incidence of Tuberculosis Infection in the Coastal Region of Northern Miyagi After the Great East Japan Earthquake

    Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2016, 238, 187-195Increasing Incidence of TB Infection after Tohoku Disaster 187 Increasing Incidence of Tuberculosis Infection in the Coastal Region of Northern Miyagi after the Great East Japan Earthquake Masahiro Sakurai,1 Tatsuya Takahashi,1 Miyako Ohuchi,1 Yuki Terui,1 Kouji Kiryu2 and Kazuo Shikano1 1Division of Health and Welfare, Miyagi Prefectural Government, Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan 2Division of Health and Welfare, Metropolitan Government, Tokyo, Japan On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan. Within an hour of the earthquake, devastating tsunamis swept over the coastal region of the Miyagi Prefecture, facing Pacific Ocean. Accordingly, more than 400,000 residents were forced to stay at evacuation shelters. We investigated the changes in tuberculosis prevalence after the disaster. Annual data for all tuberculosis patients between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2013 were extracted from the database of the Miyagi Prefectural Government. In the coastal region of Northern Miyagi, the number of tuberculosis patients increased in the post-disaster period (p < 0.001, 9.6 vs.19.1 per 100,000 people), compared to the pre-disaster period. In contrast, its prevalence did not change in the inland region of Northern Miyagi and the coastal and inland regions of Southern Miyagi. Importantly, in the inland and coastal regions of Northern Miyagi, the number of patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) increased in the post- disaster period (p < 0.001). Furthermore, in the coastal shelters, 11 evacuees with the history of contacting tuberculosis patients were diagnosed with LTBI, whereas no cases of LTBI patients were observed in the inland shelters.

    lakyara vol.190 Special Edition Post-earthquake reconstruction continues to blaze trail into uncharted territory - Interview with Shinya Endo, General Manager, Miyagi Prefecture Civil Engineering Department - 18.March 2014 Special Edition Post-earthquake reconstruction continues to blaze trail into uncharted territory vol.190 Executive Summary Miyagi Prefecture was particularly hard-hit by the catastrophic Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011. It is now implementing a ten-year reconstruction plan in three phases. The first phase (three years) is restoration to the pre-earthquake status quo. In the second phase (four years), the Prefecture plans to revitalize (upgrade) its infrastructure to where it would have been if the earthquake had never occurred. In the third phase (three years), the Prefecture aims to better fortify itself against future natural disasters. With no model to follow for any of the three phases, Miyagi Prefecture is grappling with difficult challenges on a daily basis. NRI's Fumihiko Kamio spoke to Shinya Endo, head of Miyagi Prefecture's reconstruction program, about the challenges that lie ahead in 2014, the first year of the ten-year plan's revitalization phase. Shinya Endo General Manager, Miyagi Prefecture Civil Engineering Department Hired by Miyagi Prefecture in 1979. Has worked at prefecture's Ishinomaki Civil Engineering Office, Urban Planning Section, Sendai-Higashi Civil Engineering, Kessennuma Civil Engineering, Road Construction Section, Civil Engineering General Affairs Section, Tokyo Office, and Planning Department's Policy Section. Promoted to Deputy General Manager of Civil Engineering Department in April 2011 after managing Urban Planning Section and Roads Section. Assumed current post in April 2013.
