The TDD was organized in collaboration with the Building Regulations for Resilience, Climate Change Adaptation, and Mitigation Knowledge Silo Breaker. CONCEPT: THE TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE (TDD) Technical Deep Dives (TDDs) bring together experts and practitioners through workshops, site visits, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and action planning. The objective is to provide specific support to World Bank clients and their projects by addressing thematic topics of high client demand. Typically, reference is drawn from Japan, which offers relevant experience and solutions for a wide range of topics. TDDs offer firsthand knowledge-exchange opportunities and enable developing countries to deepen their knowledge and identify operational solutions through intensive study tours and peer learning. Client demand is determined through a survey conducted by the World Bank. Demand is met by offering participants structured learning before they arrive in Japan, and by providing ongoing support to connect them to technical experts and best practices in close collaboration with the World Bank’s Communities of Practice (CoPs). TDDs have four core elements: ◾ A challenge-driven approach, which reflects the demand-driven nature of the program and involves problem solving and technical assistance, including expert consultation and expert visits to client nations. ◾ Knowledge development for operational development, which involves knowledge exchange, just-in-time assistance, and potential technical assistance for clients and World Bank task teams. ◾ Structured learning, which is delivered to clients and partners through e-learning courses and a package of selected knowledge-exchange instruments before, during, and after the TDD in Japan. ◾ Application to knowledge networks, which involves contributing relevant inputs to CoPs to support the development of case studies as well as best-practice lessons and to diffuse knowledge to the broader community.

  • Japan's Population Has Started to Shrink and Polarize Geographically
    Mizuho Economic Outlook & Analysis April 5, 2016 Japan’s population has started to shrink and polarize geographically The census reveals the concentration of people in large cities and city centers < Summary > ◆ The preliminary report on the 2015 population census of Japan was released on February 26, 2016. The report shows that Japan’s population declined for the first time since World War II, marking the advent of a depopulating society. ◆ Regional populations are moving further in the direction of polarization. While the populations of urban areas other than Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya continue to plunge, populations are rising in metropolitan areas functioning as local economic hubs. ◆ Population polarization is striking even among the three major metropolitan areas, with the tendency of people to return to city centers. The overall population of Osaka Prefecture dropped for the first time in 68 years, but the population surged in central Osaka City. Mizuho Research Institute Ltd.

  • YOKOHAMA and KOBE, JAPAN
    YOKOHAMA and KOBE, JAPAN Arrive Yokohama: 0800 Sunday, January 27 Onboard Yokohama: 2100 Monday, January 28 Arrive Kobe: 0800 Wednesday, January 30 Onboard Kobe: 1800 Thursday, January 31 Brief Overview: The "Land of the Rising Sun" is a country where the past meets the future. Japanese culture stretches back millennia, yet has created some of the latest modern technology and trends. Japan is a study in contrasts and contradictions; in the middle of a modern skyscraper you might discover a sliding wooden door which leads to a traditional chamber with tatami mats, calligraphy, and tea ceremony. These juxtapositions mean you may often be surprised and rarely bored by your travels in Japan. Voyagers will have the opportunity to experience Japanese hospitality first-hand by participating in a formal tea ceremony, visiting with a family in their home in Yokohama or staying overnight at a traditional ryokan. Japan has one of the world's best transport systems, which makes getting around convenient, especially by train. It should be noted, however, that travel in Japan is much more expensive when compared to other Asian countries. Japan is famous for its gardens, known for its unique aesthetics both in landscape gardens and Zen rock/sand gardens. Rock and sand gardens can typically be found in temples, specifically those of Zen Buddhism. Buddhist and Shinto sites are among the most common religious sites, sure to leave one in awe. From Yokohama: Nature lovers will bask in the splendor of Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji and the Silver Frost Festival. Kamakura and Tokyo are also nearby and offer opportunities to explore Zen temples and be led in meditation by Zen monks.

  • Seismic Risk Perception and Household Adjustment in Salt Lake

Greater than 90% of the Utah population lives within 25 km of the Wasatch Fault System (WFS), and a 2012 FEMA report ranked seismic risk in Utah as the 6th highest in the U.S.A. We administered a geocoded, mail-out survey to households located in high-risk ground shaking and liquefaction hazard zones. We examined relationships between adoptions of 13 household adjustments and how respondents perceive risk and responsibility in the context of demographic characteristics, house location, and construction type (e.g. year built, unreinforced masonry (URM) or not, number of floors). Results characterize a population that perceives seismic risk as high, but varies significantly in its preparedness and sense of vulnerability. Further research is needed about how residents obtain information, given that fewer than 10% of respondents were aware of Utah's earthquake preparedness guide. Keywords: Earthquake risk; Preparedness; Geocoded survey; studies in the New Madrid Fault area in the south-central U.S.A., Unreinforced masonry; Hazard mitigation; Hazard adjustment an intra-plate zone that includes areas of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi [3,9,10].

  • Lessons Learned from the Kobe Earthquake a Japanese Perspective
    SPECIAL REPORT Lessons Learned from the Kobe Earthquake A Japanese Perspective Hiroshi Muguruma This report presents an overview of the Ph.D. performance of reinforced and precast, Professor Emeritus Department of prestressed concrete buildings during the Architectural Engineering Kyoto University Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake (also known as Kyoto, Japan the Great Hanshin earthquake) of January 17, 1995, situated in and around the city of Kobe, Japan. The performance of pile foundations is also examined. Highway bridges, rapid transit structures, and other special structures are covered elsewhere. The assessment of damage is related to the Minehiro Nishiyama evolution of design code provisions for Ph.D. concrete building structures in Japan. Department of Preliminary reports indicate that precast, Architectural Engineering Kyoto University prestressed concrete structures performed Kyoto, Japan remarkably well during the earthquake, especially those designed with recent seismic code provisions. The probable causes of the damage are examined, although it should be emphasized that several investigations are currently being carried out to determine more comprehensive causes of structural failures Fumio Watanabe, Ph.D. by many researchers, engineers, the Professor Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ), the Department of Architectural Engineering Japan Prestressed Concrete Engineering Kyoto University Kyoto, Japan Association (JPCEA), and other organizations. 28 PCI JOURNAL t precisely 5:46 a.m. in the N early morning of January 17, A 1995, a devastating earthquake struck Japan, imparting a trail of de­ ® ~ Severely damaged area struction across a narrow band extend­ ing from northern Awaji Island through the cities of Kobe, Ashiya, Nishinomiya and Takarazuka (see Fig. 1).

PART I - HIISTORICAL 2. The Japanese Government and the Bank agreed in 1957 that transportation had a high priority in Japan's economic development and the Government pro- posed the Kobe-Nagcya expressway as a project for the Bank's consideration. Preliminary studies made by a Bank mission which visited Japan in February 1958 confirmed that a Kobe-Nagoya expressway was econonically justified.
