For Recovery From Great East Japan Earthquake
The Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology, Hosei University Hidenobu Jinnai, Director
We extend our heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The quake raised important issues closely related to research themes of our laboratory aiming for true “regeneration of cities and regions” opening up the era of environment. As we have continued researches focusing on “waterfront cities”, the tsunami that devastated port towns and fishing villages along the Sanriku coast, and soil liquefaction of post-war reclaimed lands in the areas around Tokyo, revealed critical issues for us to tackle with. The development-based city building typical in global mega city Tokyo that has repeated the process of destruction and construction using massive energy promoting expansion, must be fundamentally reconsidered.
In one of the most frequently disaster-hit countries, Japanese have never lost awe of nature, and created safer and rich living environment unifying experiences of repeated disasters and gained practical knowledge. In the quake-hit areas, most old townscapes along streets on higher grounds as well as temples and shrines that have been symbols of towns, suffer relatively minor damages such as falling off of materials of walls, though some unfortunately collapsed. These towns and villages have fostered human relationships and communities that have served important roles for disaster prevention and recovery.
In the course of modernization, the rapid development after the post-war era made a turnaround of the values in Japanese society. Overestimating technologies and economic strength, we have developed lowlands along shores, reclaimed lands, watershed areas, and slopes of hills where we should consider reasonable possibilities of disasters. We may have enjoyed prosperity, while encouraging excessive development. The earthquake disaster in 2011 finally made us realize the vulnerability of our lands, which might have and in fact leads to unprecedented loss of life and wealth. We now feel powerless to nature. Technology and economy can’t stand against nature’s force. Based on the sense of humility, we need to regain a traditional way of regional development, with which people can coexist with environment to establish rich living spaces. The accumulation of knowledge on a place becomes regional history of the place. The Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology has been proposed and will propose Japanese town/regional development through varieties of researches based on the humility to nature and knowledge of the place as described.
Meanwhile the Japanese government has announced a reconstruction plan, applying a stereotypical way to various villages and towns; removing a part of mountain and relocating inhabitants to safe higher grounds. However it seems insufficient because devastated villages and towns along the Sanriku coast naturally have different geographies and histories. Looking back at the Edo period, only limited numbers of port towns were constructed along the Sanriku coast such as Miyako, Kesennuma and Ishinomaki, considering the risk of tsunami. Each town built dykes from the viewpoint of safety. Settlements grew up in surrounding small fishing villages closely linking to the ocean and other natural conditions through fighting against disasters. Strong bonds were developed among inhabitants as well. Old villages surely retained flexible and sustainable ideas against catastrophe, including sophisticated procedures of evacuation for people, boats and ships, and of easy reconstruction of infrastructure. The long absence of giant tsunami might have gradually eliminated the knowledge of risk control.
Many elementary school children and junior high students in port towns and fishing villages where emergency drill programs were thoroughly conducted, successfully evacuated to higher grounds partly because students were at schools when the tsunami hit. It is also to be noted that a town had no deaths, though struck by tsunami waves 16m high and 60% of buildings were destroyed.
The relocation to hills should be firstly considered; however it is not always sufficient. It is essential to choose a right place considering risk of landslide, evaluating damages of houses on terraces triggered by the past and March 11 earthquakes. Another point to be considered is the repeated relocation from coastal areas to higher grounds and vice versa. For example, a village relocated to a hill after “Meiji Sanriku Grate Tsunami” in 1896 (29th year of Meiji), but fishing people gradually returned to coastal areas; many of them became victims of “Showa Sanriku Grate Tsunami” in 1933 (8th year of Showa). Although settlements relocated to higher grounds after the tsunami of 1933, some of which have been struck again by the tsunami waves in 2011. As we know from history, for reconstruction planning, characteristics of geographical and natural conditions of each port town or fishing village, historical backgrounds including success or failure of relocation to higher grounds, regional industries/economic activities, communities, and other social conditions must be well considered. Furthermore, it is important to assign maximum value to local opinions.
Now we will examine which elements of “regional history” are to be focused.
Sometimes the Edo period is too much emphasized, which might lead to incorrect evaluation of regional history. During the period of time between the Meiji and pre-war Showa eras, citizens chose lower lands for living, while risk of tsunami was not fully considered. We should not ignore this process because it was also part of valuable regional history where living places and human relationships were established and accumulated. Even on lower lands, it is utmost important to regain flexible methods and ideas of risk control, that are common in Asian world including Japan; placing maximum priority on human life, at the same time facilitating reconstruction of towns and buildings. We have been too much dependent on powerful Western technology to fight against natural force.
Considering citizens’ attachment and pride to/in lands and ocean, as well as bonds of communities, a new reconstruction plan highlighting safety should be made. A true vision of reconstruction must fully bring out potential regenerative power of each region. The Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology has proposed regional development from the viewpoints of “ecology” and “history”; the concept upon which we should be based for recovery from the disaster in 2011. It will be important to restore towns and villages with the conceptual plan focusing on geography, climate and history, from the viewpoint of historical regional formation. Fully utilizing potential of the land and considering disaster prevention, we will propose regeneration guidelines to restore the devastated areas to an attractive region.
On the other hand, soil liquefaction triggered by this earthquake caused damages on some areas in capital region; especially the reclaimed lands along Tokyo Bay were globally worst-hit. The reclaimed lands rapidly developed in 1960’s for industrial and housing needs were most seriously damaged, that once were fertile fishing grounds. The buildings in popular rich neighborhood on the reclaimed land of Urayasu were also damaged and lifeline utilities were unavailable for a long period of time. Meanwhile traditional houses along Sakaigawa in former fishing village situated a little landward from the bay area were rarely damaged. The level of damages was widely varied.
In Katori City and Abiko City located on the inland along Tonegawa, soil liquefaction was evident within limited areas on reclaimed lands that were former paddy fields and swamps. It has gradually become clear that old housing areas in good locations established during long period of time are less prone to natural disasters.
In post-war Japan, nature in countryside and farmlands had rapidly been replaced by sprawled urban districts. The urbanization accompanied by explosive increase of population in the first half of the 20th century required vast housing areas, which lead to development of lands in poor conditions to live in. But in this mature society of the 21st century accompanied by depopulation, urban districts are expected to be reduced. It will be important to redesign compact cities and regions on safer areas well considering historical climate and natural conditions. The needs of aging society must be compatible with such compact living spaces using less energy.
When discarding urban sprawl, our concept “historical/ecological corridor” fostering attractive spatial axis integrating history, green and water as urban “soft infrastructure” will become more important from the viewpoint of disaster prevention as well.
The Laboratory of Regional Design with Ecology will continue to contribute to society proposing how cities/towns and people should be related including recovery visions.
Meanwhile “Task Force on Earthquake Disaster Problems” was launched within The Institute for Sustainability Research and Education, Hosei University (established in 2009), in which our laboratory is participated. The task force is divided into three sub teams by research theme. “Theme 1” addresses political and economic issues revealed by the March 11 earthquake; “Theme 2” addresses issues regarding urban/regional regeneration that are main themes of our laboratory; “Theme 3” will develop research activities focusing on various problems triggered by the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and future energy problems.

Abstract from event information:
“This place familiar to citizens as “Square for natural experience in Nakada-no-Mori”,
was old Hino Mulberry Farm managed by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry
from the beginning of the Showa Era to the 55th year of Showa.
The farm conducted study on integration of silkworm eggs and quality of cocoons.
After the facilities’ movement to Tsukuba, the enclosed site with fences has
been isolated from the development of the surrounding areas. As a result, natural
environment can be regenerated in the site within 20 years afterward.
……………
The deserted place left for nearly 30 years, and finally assimilated into surrounding
forests is touching.
Such beautiful ruins can be rarely seen in changeable Tokyo.”

The researches on groundwater have been concentrated
on Musashino Tableland. Mr. Tsunoda has been involved in various
researches on groundwater. Few researchers tackle with groundwater
of Hino Tableland. Hino city is one of such autonomous bodies
which have continued to research groundwater. However, the
results have not been stored enough when compared with Mosashino
area. Mr. Tsunoda is the only person who has conducted researches
on whole Hino Tableland area. This is unpublished study which
is financed by The Tokyu Foundation for Better Environment.
Our team uses his data as a base. We hope you will participate

Exhibition, "Water Tokyo Seen from Outer Moat-For Historical
and Ecological Corridor" |
| |
|
The outer moat was the outer framework
of the Edo Castle and the core of the water system in Edo.
It had served the key role in the water system of Tokyo area
since ancient times. Before the Jyomon Era, "Old Tokyo River"
(present Tamagawa, Arakawa, and Tonegawa) had flowed toward
Tokyo Bay located below the Edo Castle constructed in the later
day. Since the Edo Era, dense canal networks in the vast lowland
formed by Arakawa and Tonegawa were connected together below
the castle. Tamagawa Canal and its diversion channels constructed
in the Musashino Tableland formed by Tamagawa, were also linked
to the outer moat of the castle. The groundwater under the
above water system spread over the vast river basin of Old
Tokyo River. People depended upon and controlled the water
system. The system spread in a radial pattern or circular pattern,
composing a wide "water network city" around the castle. The
inner and outer moats were the core of water ring linking with
head waters in outer edge of mountains.
Even today, the outer moat configures the water corridor which
encircles city core of Tokyo. Similar to other waterfront areas
in Tokyo, the issues such as degradation of water quality,
and how to use should be considered. For looking over the future
way of Tokyo area, we should be based on historical and ecological
backgrounds. Our activities aim to regenerate regions based
on the viewpoint of eco-history. Starting from the outer moat
along which Hosei University is located, we will hold the exhibition
proposing regeneration of whole water system of Tokyo area.
Furthermore, we will propose historical/ecological corridor
in Tokyo area. |

*"Ubiquitous exhibitions" will be held in various
sites. |
| |
|
[Overview of Exhibition]
Outer Moat: We will show rich landscapes and latest situations
of inner and outer moats as cradle of culture which encircle
the Edo Castle. For regeneration of moats, we will consider
water system regeneration through the old system where Tamagawa
canal was included. The regeneration of outer moat is one
of our major issues because Hosei University is located along
the moat. One of our involvements for regional regenerations,
is "Chiyoda-gaku" which has been realized by cooperation
between Chiyoda-ku and Laboratory of Regional Design with
Ecology. |
| |
|
Tokyo Area: Regarding low lands and city core,
we will address regeneration of canals, Nihonbashi, and bay
area, etc. As for table lands, we will introduce local activities
developed in Hino, Koganei, and Suginami, spring water conservation
activities for Nogawa, and regeneration of Tamagawa canal,
etc. Also, the relationship between Laboratory of Regional
Design with Ecology and communities will be shown; e.g., head
water areas of Tamagawa, Arakawa, and Tonegawa. |
