  • Importance of the Inherited Memories of Great Tsunami Disasters in Natural Disaster Reduction
    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan IMPORTANCE OF THE INHERITED MEMORIES OF GREAT TSUNAMI DISASTERS IN NATURAL DISASTER REDUCTION Akenori SHIBATA Professor Emeritus, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The two gigantic tsunamis, the 869 Jogan tsunami and the 1611 Keicho tsunami, which had attacked the Sendai plain prior to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake/ tsunami, are reflected. Pioneering works in the historical field by Mr. Y. Iinuma and in the scientific field by Prof. K. Minoura are introduced. To mitigate the damages by natural disaster, the knowledge on the past natural disasters occurred in an area should be properly shared by the people in that area. Necessity of the continued education on disaster reduction in schools and in regional societies is pointed out. Key Words: Great East Japan earthquake, Jogan tsunami, Keicho tsunami, disaster mitigation, disaster education INTRODUCTION The gigantic tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake gave enormous disaster to the wide coastal areas from Aomori Pref. to Ibaragi Pref. on the Pacific Ocean. The damages to Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Pref. were especially large. The Sanriku ria coast areas in Iwate and in northern Miyagi have been exposed to frequent attack of large tsunamis and the people in those areas have been quite aware of tsunami disasters. On the other hand, the long flat coasts in southern Miyagi and in Fukushima had few experience of large tsunami in these several hundred years, by which reason very few people there had expected the attack of tsunami before the gigantic tsunami of 2011.

  • Some Funny Niihama Dialect
    What’s New? Niihama City No.266 October 2017 Published by SGG Niihama What is the personality of Ehimeites? Keiko Uraji, a gift concierge (from Ehime Shimbun May 4, 2017) I found an interesting article on SNS the other day. “Institute of Media Plus” conducted research on the stress index of about 70,000 women from age 20 to 69 all over Japan and it announced the ranking of "low-stress" prefectures. “Low-stress” means that a person feels fine in their daily life and keeps a balanced mind against stress. Surprisingly, the women of Ehime have the least stress in Japan. They pointed out the reasons why the women of Ehime have low-stress: 1. mild climate 2. few disasters 3. many gentle people 4. many hot springs 5. nature near the town 6. strong love for their hometown Indeed!! I quite agree with what they say. Ehimeites are commonly accepted as gentle and easygoing. Ehime is blessed with a mild climate so people did not have to work so hard to get food compared to other regions. As a result they evolved to be gentle and easygoing. Although generally they are fine and easygoing, they can also be quite hasty. They tend to turn right impatiently before a car passing straight in the opposite lane. This risky way of driving is often seen. This bad habit gave birth to the shameful expression “Iyo no Hayamagari”, which roughly translates to "People in Ehime behind the steering wheel turns right instantly" (Iyo refers to the old name of Ehime). My husband often comments that my personality is hasty, but also optimistic and positive.

  • Analysis of the Effects of Air Transport Liberalisation on the Domestic Market in Japan
    Chikage Miyoshi Analysis Of The Effects Of Air Transport Liberalisation On The Domestic Market In Japan COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis Academic year 2006-2007 Chikage Miyoshi Analysis of the effects of air transport liberalisation on the domestic market in Japan Supervisor: Dr. G. Williams May 2007 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2007. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the different experiences in the Japanese domestic air transport market compared to those of the intra-EU market as a result of liberalisation along with the Slot allocations from 1997 to 2005 at Haneda (Tokyo international) airport and to identify the constraints for air transport liberalisation in Japan. The main contribution of this study is the identification of the structure of deregulated air transport market during the process of liberalisation using qualitative and quantitative techniques and the provision of an analytical approach to explain the constraints for liberalisation. Moreover, this research is considered original because the results of air transport liberalisation in Japan are verified and confirmed by Structural Equation Modelling, demonstrating the importance of each factor which affects the market. The Tokyo domestic routes were investigated as a major market in Japan in order to analyse the effects of liberalisation of air transport.
