Website www.pref.saitama.lg.jp (h ttp://www.pref.saitama.l Geography g.jp/) Saitama Prefecture is bordered by Tokyo, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Nagano, and Y amanashi Prefectures. It is located central-west of the Kanto region, measuring 103 km from east to west and 52 km from north to south. At 3,7 98 km2 , it ranks as the ninth-smallest prefecture. The eastern border with Chiba Prefecture is defined by the Edo River. The northern and north- western border lines with Gunma Prefecture are marked by the Tone River and the Kanagawa River and the drainage divides of the Arakawa River and Kanagawa River. The southwestern border is defined by the drainage divides of the Arakawa River, Tama River, and Fuefuki River. The eastern section of the southern border line, however, does not overlap with any geological feature. The topography of Saitama Prefecture is largely divided by the Hachiōji Tectonic Line, which runs through Kodama, Ogawa, and Map of Saitama Prefecture Hannō, into the western mountain area and the eastern lowland area. The altitude, highest on the western side, gradually lowers Government Ordinance Designated eastward from mountain ranges to hills to plateaus to lowlands. The eastern lowlands and plateaus occupy 67 .3% of the area.[5] City City Town Village The eastern side, part of the Kantō Plain, can be further divided into nine separate expanses of hills and ten plateaus. The former occupy small areas neighboring the Kantō Mount Range, including the Hiki Hills and Sayama Hills. The latter are mainly surrounded by alluvial flood plains. In the southeastern portion of the prefecture, the Ōmiya Plateau stands in a southeastward direction, sandwiched by the Furutone River to the east and the Arakawa River to the west.[6] The western side of the prefecture belongs to the Kantō Mountain Range with Chichibu Basin located in its center. The area to the west of the basin features high peaks such as Mount Sanpō (2,483 m) and Mount Kōbushi (2,47 5 m), in which the Arakawa River has its source. Most of the land is contained in Chichibu Tama Kai National Park. The area to east of the basin consists of relatively low mountains.

  • Chapter 8 Taxation
    A Guide to Living in Saitama Chapter 8 Taxation 1 Income Tax Saitama’s Prefectural Mascot Kobaton 2 Inhabitant Tax 3 Other Major Taxes All residents of Japan, regardless of nationality, are obligated to pay taxes. Taxes are an important resource used to promote a happy and stable environment for everyone. Taxes support various projects across a wide range of fields such as education, welfare, civil engineering, medical treatment, culture, environment, and industry. The two main taxes are income tax, which is levied by the national government, and inhabitant tax (prefectural and municipal tax), which is levied by both the prefectural and municipal governments. You may be exempt from paying income tax and inhabitant tax because of a taxation treaty between your country and Japan. To avoid double taxation, special exemptions have been established through bilateral taxation treaties between Japan and various countries. To check if these exemptions apply to you, please contact your country's embassy in Japan for further information. Payment of taxes must be done by the due date. If payment is overdue, an overdue fee will be incurred every day from the day after the due date until the payment is made. If your taxes remain unpaid for an extended period of time, your taxable assets will be seized. We encourage you to pay these taxes by the due date.

  • Simulation Analysis of Airport Capacity for Disaster Relief Activities
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.13, 2019 Simulation Analysis of Airport Capacity for Disaster Relief Activities Qingqi WANG a, Terumitsu HIRATA b, Shion KUBO c a c Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ibaraki University, 316-8511, Japan; a E-mail:[email protected] cE-mail: [email protected] b Associate Professor, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ibaraki University, 316-8511, Japan;E-mail:[email protected] Abstract: After disaster occurred, a large number of aircraft such as helicopters for disaster relief activities often use a local airport as a base. But local airports did not have enough capacity and experience in operating so many aircraft, and airport can’t find a suitable operation pattern to deploy aircraft efficiently. In this paper, first, we developed an integrated simulation of the runway and apron operation in disaster for airport capacity evaluation with the dynamic capacity concept. Then the simulation is used as a planning tool to allocate and arrange the disaster relief aircraft. we try to find a suitable operation strategy to efficiently utilize the airport’s resource and operate the rescue aircraft. The result of this paper is expected to offer useful advice for airport capacity planning for disaster relief operation.

INTRODUCTION In the Great East Japan Earthquake, compared with the land transportation network which has been disrupted and takes time to restore, airports became a rescue activity base which played an important role in the rescue operation.
