Exhibition Booth Title Disaster Management in Japan
Abstract Because of geographical, topographical and meteorological conditions, Japan is subject to frequent disasters such as typhoons, torrential rains and earthquakes.

The devastating Typhoon Ise-wan is 1959 was a turning point for disaster management, giving rise to a movement to plan and prepare a comprehensive disaster management system, and in 1961, the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act was enacted. Thereafter, the disaster management system has been improved and strengthened following the occurrence of large-scale natural disasters and accidents such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.

There is much apprehension and a sense of urgency regarding the possibility of the occurrence of the Southern Kanto Earthquake of which the hypocenter is directly under the region, the Tokai Earthquake and the Tohnankai and Nankai Earthquakes which are all capable of causing immense damage.

At this booth, you cordially understand Japanese disaster management system including proofing of buildings, disaster emergency response system, etc.

In addition panels describing Japanese International Corporation on disaster reduction will be displayed.

Abstract 'To protect life from natural disasters and to strengthen society's defenses against them, NIED (National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention) conduct research and development of earthquake, volcanic activity, weather, and landslide disasters. After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, NIED has constructed various kinds of seismograph networks throughout Japan. NIED accurately observe seismic motions ranging from micro-tremors to large earthquakes using about 1,800 seismic stations. At NIED display booth, we utilize our results of seismic observations and active fault survey, and reproduce the ground motion on the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake by simulation-derived model. We expect the participants to uplift the awareness on disaster by experiencing visually how the ground shakes from the angle of aerial and inside ground.

Abstract Japan is located in the Asian monsoon region and the majority of its national land consists of steep volcanic terrain.  It is therefore exposed to the hazards of many natural disasters, including earthquakes and typhoons.
 Under this climate, rural people have accumulated experiences in and technologies for coexisting with nature through the production activities of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. For example, paddy fields, upland fields and forestlands reduce flood runoff through their water retention capability. They also play an important role in preventing soil erosion and the occurrence of landslides in hilly and mountainous areas for the conservation of national lands.

Abstract It is scientifically proved that Climate Change has been steadily progressing.
Both developed and developing countries have been and will be affected by the impacts of Climate Change; some parts of Small Island Developing States might be covered by the ocean flow and parts of coastline in these countries might face on erosion; it is concerned that Japan, too, be suffered from significant impacts caused by adverse effects of natural phenomena such as extremely stronger typhoons.
In order to address Climate Change, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was enacted.   Each country has been taking various measures under these agreements and the Government of Japan has been making every effort to accomplish commitment stipulated in the Protocol.
However, even if ultimate efforts are taken by global society to combat Climate Change, the impacts caused by Climate Change will not be avoided; it is thus be of importance to take actions to prevent and minimize those impacts.
In this context, it will be required to develop and implement comprehensive disaster prevention measures, taking fully into consideration impacts induced by Climate Change.

Abstract Endowed with rich natural environment, nurtured by long, multifaceted histories and traditional culture, Awaji Island has developed with the efforts of many island’s predecessors.  The island also has become a new era hub for multi-cultural interchanges thanks to the big projects such as the Akashi Straits Bridge and the Awaji Island International Garden City . 
In 2000, the island achieved brilliant success in holding the Japan Flora 2000, a global event of sharing insights about flowers and greenery, as a momentum of overcoming the tragic impact of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995.  The island is transforming from ‘earthquake-hit island’ to `flower island through the promotion of ‘culture of flower’, which harvests beautiful scenery, on the occasion of ‘Japan Flora 2000’.
The exhibition of Awaji Island shows various kinds of local industries, cultures and activities to make the future ‘Flower Island’.  And the Hokudan-cho Earthquake Memorial Park, Nojima Fault Preservation Museum that was built to commemorate the Great-Hanshin Awaji Earthquake is also introduced.
