Ishikawa & S. Yasuda Tokyo University Denki, Hatoyama, Saitama, Japan S. Komiya Graduate School of Tokyo Denki University, Hatoyama, Saitama, Japan ABSTRACT: In this study about seismic responses, the Kita-Senju region of Tokyo, which is a narrow area surrounded by Arakawa River and Sumida River, is the area of interest. In addition to the considerable movement due to strong earthquake, there is a risk of soil lique- faction in a few areas. First, two representative soil-profile models (RSPMs) were constructed from existing ground survey data: one using a 250-m and the other using a 50-m mesh. Second, a seismic response analysis based on a wave generated by a local metropolitan earth- quake was conducted using the RSPMs, and the influence of the mesh size and accompanying micro-topography resolution were evaluated.

    Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology

    Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology Ito, Kazumasa Head of planning office, Research Center for Sustainable Communities, CTI Engineering Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan Senior Councilor, Technical Coordination and Cooperation Division, Foundation for River Improvement and Restoration Tokyo, Japan Lecturer Musashi Institute of Technology Dept. of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo, Japan Abstract : About 50% of the population and 75% of the properties concentrate on the flood plain in Japan. The rivers have intimate relationship with our lives. Those conditions have been seen after modern river improvement projects that began about a century ago. The technology which was introduced from foreign countries was improved in conformity with geographical features and the climate condition of our nation, and has redeveloped as a Japanese original technology. In 1940's, Japan had serious natural disasters that were caused by large- scale typhoons. Those typhoons wiped out everything completely. Even though the government realized the importance of flood control and management after those natural disasters, civil work still aimed to economic development. Those construction works have become the one of factors for concentrating population and degrading natural environment in urban areas. Deterioration of river environment has become serious issue in urban development and main cause of pollution. The approaches for environmental restorations which were started about 30 years ago aimed to harmonize with nature environment and cities and human lives. There have been going on many projects called “river environmental improvement projects”, the “nature friendly river works” and “natural restoration projects.” The society has tried to find a way to live in harmony with nature.
