Section 1, Japanese Economy and Its Surrounding Conditions, provides an overview of an increasingly declining population, especially that of a productive-age population, to become a super aging society with an estimated aging rate of close to 40% in 2050, and a severe fiscal position due to rapidly growing, long-term outstanding debts and other circumstances. Section 2, Economic Trends and Infrastructure Development, looks at how infrastructure has supported peoples’ lives and the economy of the time by exploring economic growth and the history of infrastructure development (Edo period and post-war economic growth period). In international comparisons of the level of public investment, we describe the need to consider Japan’s poor land and severe natural environment, provide an overview of the stock effect of the infrastructure, and examine its impact on the infrastructure, productivity, and economic growth.

  • Restoration of Sumida River

    Restoration of Sumida River

    Restoration of Sumida River Postwar Sumida River waterfront was occupied by factories and warehouses, was deteriorated like a ditch, and was shunned by people. At the same time, industrial and logistical structure changes sap the area’s vitality as a production base. But increasing interest in environment headed for the semi-ruined city waterfront and a possibility of its restoration emerged and city-and-river development started, thus attractive urban area was gradually created. In Asian nations with worsening river environments, Sumida River, improving after experiencing 50-year deterioration is a leading example in Asia. Key to Restoration ¾ Water quality improvement ¾ Waterfront space restoration and waterfront development (river-walk) Overview of the River Sumida River branches from Ara River at Iwabuchi, Kita Ward. It unites with many streams such as Shingashi River, Shakujii River, and Kanda River, and flows in Tokyo Bay. It flows south to north in the seven wards in lower-level eastern areas in Tokyo (Kita Ward, Adachi Ward, Arakawa Ward, Sumida Ward, Taitou Ward, Chuo Ward, and Koutou Ward). Its total length is 23.5 km, its width is about 150 m, and the basin dimension is 690.3 km2 including upstream Shingashi River. The basin population almost reaches 6.2 million. Sumida River’s water quality, though quite polluted in the high-growth period, has substantially improved by the efforts such as water Sumida River purification projects for Sumida River restoration (e.g., construction of a filtering plant in Ukima). The variety and the number of fish, water birds, and water plants have also started to increase.

    A Study on the Water Environment in Shingashi River Basin AHW36-P02

    AHW36-P02 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2017 A study on the water environment in Shingashi river basin *Asami Kazuki1, Koji Kodera1 1. Hosei University Lab. for Hydrogey 1.First Some rivers flowing through urban areas in Japan still have problems with water quality, and it is important to grasp the water environment of the river in the current urban area in order to promote the conservation of the water environment. Hosei University has continued to conduct research on the Shingashi river basin that flows through suburbs of Tokyo since the 1930s, and in recent years it has been conducting water quality surveys in cooperation with civil society groups. Here we will clarify the water environment of the current Shingashi river basin, based on the results of the water quality survey conducted four times from 2013 to 2016. 2.Region overview The Shingashi river basin is located in 10 cities and 1 town in Saitama Prefecture, 6 cities and 1 town in 3 wards in Tokyo. The Shingashi river of mainstream is a first class river belonging to the Arakawa water system. The flow path extension is 34.6km, and the tide zone is about 16km from the confluence point with the Sumida river. In addition, the catchment area is 411km2. 3.Survey method In the Survey on familiar water environments conducted in June every year, citizen groups provided water collected, and in the laboratory we measured pH, RpH, EC and analyzed TOC, Analysis of major dissolved components is carried out. 4.Results As a result of the survey, various water quality is distributed in the Shingashi river basin, but in the upstream area of each river, the Calcium bicarbonate type water quality composition is shown, the downstream side tends to show the composition of sodium chloride type at the downstream side, this suggested the effect of domestic wastewater.

    Selected Papers

    Selected Papers No.2 Institute for Ocean Policy,SOF D irector's Message As mankind moves into the 21st century, integrated policies of ocean governance are necessary for the sustainable development and use of our oceans and their resources and the protection of the marine environment. Towards this end, the Ship & Ocean Foundation has launched an "Institute for Ocean Policy", with the mission statement "Living in Harmony with the Oceans". The Institute for Ocean Policy aims to conduct cross-sectoral research in ocean related issues in order to initiate debate on marine topics and formulate both domestic and international policy proposals. We publish a Japanese-language newsletter called the "Ship & Ocean Newsletter" twice a month. The "Ship & Ocean Newsletter" seeks to provide people of diverse viewpoints and backgrounds with a forum for discussion and to contribute to the for- mulation of maritime policies to achieve coexistence between mankind and the ocean. Our Institute believes that the Newsletter can expand effective communication on these issues through its function as editor, publishing timely research and welcoming responses from readers, which might then be published in turn. "Ship & Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers No.2" is an English-language version of papers from the Japanese Newsletter edition, published from No.17(2001.4.20) to No.28(2001.10.5). It is our sincere hope that these Selected Papers will provide useful insights on policy debate in Japan and help to foster global policy dialogue on various issues. Hiroshi TERASHIMA
