| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In a concept of the environmental disaster prevention, an idea that the disaster prevention could provide continuously the environmental benefits is contained as well as an idea of preventing the environmental deterioration. In this lecture, an environment system formation function of a debris flow, a flood, an ocean wave is explained. Also their values as natural reseouces are discussed. The influence of structural countermeasures on the environemt conservation is evaluated from this point of view. A new idea of disaster prevention is introduced considering the function of the natural impacts and the value of the natural phenomena as resources is discussed. Also a new method for baisn management is introduced. | |||
| Course Goals | The course goal is to understand a concept of the basin management balanced between disaster prevention and environment conservation based on the sediment transport hydraulics and the ecology. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Week1-3:Introduction of the environmental disaster prevention First of all, a concept of the environmental disaster prevention is introduced. The utilization of flood plains as agricultural land and the history of rivers with bed above ground and so on are introduced, and the relation between the human being and rivers is explained. A method to balance the sustained resources use with disaster prevention is discussed. Week4-6: Basin sacle ecosystem function A role of the disturbance in maintaining of the structure and function of the basin scale ecosystem is explained. For example, a role of the natural phenomenon such as a debris flow, a flood inundation is explained. Week7-10:Coastal disasters and environment The actual situation of the coastal erosion in our country and the causes are explained. Then, the problems on disaster prevention, environment conservation and utilization in coastal areas are introduced. Technology development to solve these problems is introduced. Also, the relation between environment in river mouth and river basin is discussed. Week 11-12:Sediment disasters and environment Sediment hazards give a big impact to river environment as well as the human beings. As one of the sediment hazards landslides are taken up and the occurrence mechanism is explained. Week 13-14: Sediment management with consideration of environment conservation The basin scale sediment management is carried out for the purpose of safety, appropriate utilization and environmental conservation. Actual sediment management and the realted researches are introduced. A concept, new ideas and new technology are discussed. Week 15:Feed back Evaluation of proficiency level,１times,Students confirm the proficiency level in this lecture. |
