Japan Asia Group Limited Review: Tsunami Reconstruction

We have been building a better and more resilient future for communities affected by the March 2011 earthquake/tsunami, based on Kokusai Kogyo’s social infrastructure development experience.

Disaster risk reduction

-3D laser surveying (DMC, LP) -Various simulations, ocean short-wave radar -Emergency communication systems DRR education -Slope/dam monitoring/management


3D laser scanning (tunnel)

-Property tax/cadastral surveys -GIS to manage. waterworks, sewage, road register -Hazard maps, DRR planning -Spatial information, surveying data archive sales


Geographic information system (GIS)

Immediate aftermath

-Aerial photography (nadir, oblique), Photo interpretation/analysis -Detailed tsunami field surveys, CG tsunami simulations – rapidinundation analysis

-Local survey research -Local govt. administrative support -Survey of collapsed/washed away houses


Local survey research

Recovery

-Detailed disaster surveys, reconstruction planning -Making maps for reconstruction planning -Disaster waste surveys, making disposal plans -Detailed disaster surveys, reconstruction planning


Waste disposal plan

-Survey of collapsed/washed away houses -Management of house demolishing -Waste surveys/developing waste disposal plans -Supporting integration/use/evaluation of administrative data -Developing/managing geographic information systems (GIS) -Assisting community consensus building for reconstruction utilizing 3D simulations -Provision/sale of tsunami simulation/survey/map data


Disaster debris analysis

Reconstruction

-Road, bridge, port etc. survey/design -Liquefaction/slope stabilization countermeasures -Radiation surveys/decontamination planning -Survey, design, construction of renewable energy -Recovery of industry (creating jobs for those affected)


Bridge survey/design

-Urban reconstruction plans (DRR/land use/urban plans) -Development of basic urban infrastructure (land readjustment/victim relocation projects) -Administrative support -Development of integrated databases for reconstruction -Renewable energy adoption for emergency power backup -Eco town projects
