| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Mechanism and countermeasures of sediment disasters, flood disasters, urban flood disasters and coastal disasters are explained. An integrated watershed management of these disasters and water/sediment resources is also introduced. This lecture will be open at Katsura Campus and Ujigawa Open Laboratory. | |||
| Course Goals | Learn an integrated basin management system for natural disasters (sediment disasters, food disasters, coastal disasters, urban flood disasters) mitigation and water/sediment resources utilization considering environmental conservation. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Introduction,1time,Contents of this lecture are explaned. Urban flood disaster managemnet,2times,We review urban floods from the viewpoint of river basins, flood causes, and features, together with the results of recent studies. Based on these studies, we propose comprehensive measures against urban floods, including underground inundations. In addition, we discuss on prediction methods of the tsunami disaster in urban area. Flood disaster management,2times,Prevention / mitigation measures against flood disasters and flood prediction methods are explained as well as examples of recent flood disasters in Japan. Sediment disaster management,2times,Showing the problems on sediment disasters and sediment resources, I explain an integrated sedimnet management system both for sediment disasters and sediment resources. Coastal disaster management,2times,Coastal erosion and tsunami hazard become remarkable in these days in Japanese coast. In a lecture, we discuss on characteristics of such coastal disasters. Exercise on flood disaster at Ujigawa Open Laboratory,５times,Experiment and analysis on debris flows, riverbed variation and flooding at Ujigawa Open Laboratory, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto city. Evaluation of proficiency level,１times,Students confirm the proficiency level in this lecture. |
