This paper discusses the kinematics of a retrogressive rockslide area and factors promoting slope instability subsequent to the 2004 collapse, on the basis of geodetic surveys and meteorological observations from 2006 to 2010. the unstable area
the next collapse. The primary trigger of the acceleration in the unstable area is the stress release by the 2004 collapse. In addition, the presence of a potential slip plane below the sackung features also promotes slope instability, suggesting

Relationship between ground ice and solifluction : field measurements in the Daisetsu Mountains, Northern Japan
Creep ; Ground ice ; Hokkaido ; Japan ; Mountain ; Periglacial features ; Slope dynamics ; Solifluction ; Thawing
Soil temperature, surface heave and downslope movements were monitored continuously for one year (1998-99) within a solifluction lobe developed on seasonally frozen ground in the Daisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. Observations were also made
the thaw season promoted gelifluction as well as seasonal frost creep. At greater depths, gelifluction did not occur even when the thaw plane reached the ice-rich layers. The results at the study site demonstrate that segregated ice plays an important role

Within the context of global environment concerns the National Forest builds upon culturally specific interpretations of nature to construct a new national landscape for the next millenium. The nature-society relations which underpin the Forest
vision are explored. They are examined by reference to the planning design with its radical approach to environmental transformation, and to the promotion of environmental citizenship. The changing relations between participation, professional knowledge

Japanese and South Korean national territorial development. An evaluation of high-technology complexes
Comparative study ; Decentralization ; High-tech park ; Japan ; Regional development ; Research and development ; Science park ; South Korea ; Technology
The Japanese and South Korean models of high-technology complexes are compared. This will provide a better understanding of their roles in technology development. The Japanese government has oriented its policies toward innovation linked to regional
development since the 1960s with the planning of Tsukuba Science City located to the Northeast of Tokyo. In South Korea, the need for regional decentralization appeared in the early 1970s with the proposition of a new science town called Taedok Science Town
by President Park. At the beginning of 1980s, the Technopolis Plan was proposed as a new concept of regional development policy in Japan. Ten years later, South Korea also entered the course of technopole-development. - (MT)

This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system for the urbanization level in China in terms of four aspects of urbanization connotation: population, economy, society, and land. A comprehensive measurement is carried out
for the Chinese urbanization between 1981 and 2006 based on the Entropy method. Moreover, the effects of urbanization on resource and environment are examined to promote the healthy development of urbanization.

This paper uses an extended case study of Japan to illustrate how surnames, or family names, can be used as a basis for regionalization. It undertakes a comparison between inductively surname regions of Japan with areal geographies based upon both
contemporary and historical prefecture (administrative) units. The work is seen as using highly disaggregate framework data to evaluate the integrity of the areal units that are used in regional science. It also is relevant to understanding population
