Previous studies and borehole temperature measurements suggest that subsurface temperature distribution on the west side of
Tokyo Bay (from Tokyo to Yokohama) is higher than that of the east side (Chiba side). To understand the groundwater flow and
other factors which may contribute to the subsurface temperature discrepancy such as geological setting in the study area,
groundwater temperature profiles were measured in 119 boreholes around the Tokyo Bay from 2002 to 2007. The data were analyzed
and compared with previous studies. Horizontal distribution of subsurface temperature at the depths of −50 and −100 m was
made to show the distribution of thermal regime. A cross-section across the bay of Tokyo was made to see the isothermal lines
and distribution of hydraulic heads in a vertical perspective. These results show that the highest subsurface temperature
zone is in the Tokyo area, along the river valley. Subsurface temperature at the depth of 50- and 100-m below sea level in
the western part of the bay is comparatively higher than its eastern side at the same elevation and distance from the bay.
This fact suggests that there is a regional groundwater flow system in the area and it is strongly affected by the geological
structure, particularly buried valley systems of the bay during the Paleo-Tokyo River and the topographical driving force
which is the result of the different elevation of recharge areas. Groundwater discharge is concentrated along the buried valley of Paleo-Tokyo River. 相似文献

Confined groundwater system in Tokyo 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Musashino Terrace and the Shitamachi Lowland, the main urban areas in the Tokyo metropolis, are in the eastern part of Tokyo and are underlain by thick Quaternary sediments. The geologic structrue of these sediments has a general strike of WNW—ESE, with a gentle dip to the east in the western part of the Musashino Terrace, and strikes generally to the E—W with a gentle dip to the north in the eastern part of the terrace and strikes WNW—ESE to N—S with a very gentle dip to the east in the Shitamachi Lowland. The basal sediments in this area consist chiefly of massive thick silty layers, whereas the sediments overlying them consist of alternating layers of silt, sand, and gravel, which act as confined aquifers throughout the Musashino Terrace and the Shitamachi Lowland. Confined groundwater systems are being developed in the Tama District, the western part of the terrace, and are mainly recharged with river water from the Tama River. The unconfined groundwater system is being developed in the surface layers such as terrace sand and gravel formations and the Kanto Loam Formation. These confined aquifers that are being developed throughout the terrace and the lowland have been exploited for household water supplies and industrial and air-conditioning use for nearly seven decades. The heavy utilization of the confined groundwater, however, has caused a major lowering of groundwater levels. As a result of the lowering of groundwater levels, land subsidence has occurred all over the Lowland and the terrace. At this time the national government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government restricted groundwater withdrawals for industrial, air-conditioning use and the others except for household supply. Owing to these restrictions, not only have the water levels recovered, but land subsidence has rapidly declined since around 1973. 相似文献

The “Little Tokyo” neighborhood of Los Angeles was the center of pre-internment community life for Japanese immigrants and
their children and is still considered the symbolic home of later generations of Japanese Americans in Southern California.
Drawing on three years of ethnographic research in Little Tokyo, I explore in this article how contemporary Japanese Americans
have used and transformed this ancestral landscape in order to express, contest, and formalize collective memories of the
Japanese American experience, particularly with regard to their place in the national body politic. Historical narratives
inscribed at many places in Little Tokyo, both informal and institutional, project a narrative of sacrifice, suffering, and
redemption in the context of internment and military service, articulating neatly with mainstream American tropes of overcoming
hardship as a process of ‘earning’ citizenship and its benefits. However, such narratives are also contested by alternative
interpretations and representations of these spaces that describe a special role for Japanese Americans in making demands
of their government, rather than just sacrifices to it. The resulting debates, disagreements, and even occasional consensus
around constructions of nation, identity, community, and belonging are rooted in the ‘sacred ground’ of Little Tokyo, gathering
meaning and persuasive power through their connection to a symbolically dense site of shared memory. The multiple memory projects
of this landscape reveal how Japanese Americans have envisioned their relationship to the concept of America, to each other,
and to other communities with shared experiences in a diverse metropolis.

The aim of this study was to reveal the mechanisms of occurrence, movement, and distribution of unconfined water under the Tokyo District, Japan's largest city, and the outlying areas, where its people live and do business. As many as 15 simultaneous investigations were made to determine the exact level of the groundwater table and the long-term fluctuations of the water level. The work was aided by automatic recorders, aquifer testing, geological observations, and topographical and other related studies undertaken from 1966 to the present. Unconfined groundwater systems in the Tokyo area are controlled by the geology and topography of a diluvial upland and alluvial lowland. The former is represented by a deposit referred to as the Kanto loam, which is a volcanic ejecta originating from the volcanos of Fuji and Hakone. An aquifer, representing the unconfined water beneath the upland, is probably related to terrace gravels widely distributed throughout the upland area. It should be noted that in some sections of the area, the Kanto loam forms groundwater mounds, and shallow well zones have been presently confirmed which have been there since ancient times and are used as a partial source for household water supplies. This means that the unconfined water now available seems to come from several formations and is related to the topography and geology of that particular area. The massive movement of people to the suburbs of the western part of Tokyo began in the latter half of the 20th century. During this urbanization, there was a tremendous need for housing and subsequent need for additional and dependable water supplies. This need was met by the introduction of advanced equipment and technical knowledge. Changes in the hydrological environment caused by the urbanization of the area are, at present, so serious that immediate action needs to be taken for a more permanent and stable supply of groundwater. This can only be achieved by adequate maintenance of the surrounding environment as well as conservation of the underground water resources. This article discusses quantitatively the analytical reports of the changes found as a result of a hydrological survey of that environment. 相似文献

The groundwater leve in the Tokyo area had declined to about 60 m below the surface because of excess withdrawal of groundwater from various aquifers. Many construction workers died due to oxygen deficiency at construction sites from 1960 to 1980, the period of decreasing groundwater level. The compressed air in pneumatic foundation construction sites passed easily through the aquifer, and the oxygen in it was consumed by ferrous ions oxidizing to ferric ions. During periods of high barometric pressure, atmospheric air penetrates into the strata and it is deoxygenated there. Suffocation occurred not only at construction sites in underground excavations, but also in residences in Tokyo. Such acidents have become less frequent with recovery of the pore-water pressure in aquifers, which has accompanied the recovery of the groundwater level since 1972.With the recovery of the pore-water pressure and the groundwater level in the aquifer, fires and explosions resulting from gushes of methane have occurred in Tokyo lowlands since 1973. These blow-off gases are classified into two types: Kameido and Asakusa.The gas of the Kameido type originates from the Kazusa Group and migrates into upper alluvial deposits or Pleistocene sediments because of the recovery of pore-water pressure in the Kazusa Group. The gas of the Asakusa type formed from the air that penetrated the aquifers during the period of low groundwater level. Methane was produced by the depletion of oxygen accumulated in alluvial deposits and Pleistocene sediments. This gas blows off through wells in alluvial deposits and Pleistocene sediments at times of low barometric pressure. Accidents of the Asakusa type will not happen when the groundwater level and pore-water pressure in alluvial and Pleistocene sediments is restored to previous levels. 相似文献

This paper summarizes the subsurface geology of the recent (both and latest formations and the buried topography beneath them in and around Tokyo Bay, the type area of the late Quaternary in Japan. Buried abrasion platforms in the buried topography are classified into upper (ca. 0 to ?10 m high) and lower (ca. ?20 to ?40 m) platforms; upper and lower buried river terraces are also distinguished, and are correlated to the subaerial late Pleistocene terraces of Tc1 and Tc2, respectively. A buried valley system is elucidated, of which the trunk valley floor reaches ?70 m in Tokyo and emerges into a flat surface at the shelf edge in the entrance to Tokyo Bay. Approximate dates for these geomorphic surfaces are given. The height of sea level contemporaneous with the buried valley floor (ca. 20,000–15,000 yr BP) is estimated at about ?135 m. The recent formations are divided into two members, upper and lower, by a middle sand bed, in addition to the lowest buried valley floor gravel. The lower member, which is composed of brackish to marine deposits of complicated lithofacies, was accumulated in narrow drowned valleys during the early stage of the Yurakucho (Flandrian) transgression. The middle sand bed is the foreset bed of deltas, which was formed during a slight regression between ca. 11,000 and 10,000 yr BP. The upper member, which consists mainly of widespread homogeneous marine clay and deltaic sand, was accumulated in a wide bay and its embayments during the late stage of the Yurakucho transgression and the following stage of a relatively stable sea level. 相似文献

Information on the distribution of subsurface temperature and hydraulic heads at 24 observation wells in and around the Tokyo
Lowland, the eastern part of the Tokyo Metropolitan area, were examined to make clear the relationship between groundwater
and the subsurface thermal environment in the urban area. Minimums in temperature–depth logs due to subsurface temperature
increasing at shallow parts were recognized in 21 wells. This fact shows subsurface temperature is affected by ground surface
warming in almost all of this area. Deeper than minimums, where the effects of surface warming became relatively small, regional
variation is observed as follows: high temperatures are shown in the central part to the southern part, and low temperatures
shown in the inland to eastern part. The high temperature area corresponds to an area where the lower boundary of groundwater
flow is relatively shallow. This area corresponds also to an area with severe land subsidence resulting from excessive groundwater
pumping. It is considered that this high temperature area is formed by the effects of upward groundwater flow affected by
hydrogeological conditions and pumping. On the other hand, a comparison between past data (1956–1967) and present data (2001–2003)
revealed widespread decreasing temperature in the inland area. This is explained by downward groundwater flow based on an
analysis of temperature–depth logs. This fact suggests that subsurface temperature is not only increasing from the effects
of surface warming but also decreasing from the effects of groundwater environment change due to pumping. 相似文献

Conclusions Central place preference by social geographic groups is in the Tokyo area less determined by social status than by age and life cycles differentiated by sex.In case of the tributary area of Shibuya a simple classification into young people (male and female bachelors) and married people (husbands and housewives) indicates essential differences in central place preferences between these groups.The bachelors, particularly the young men, are most important for central place orientations in that they show distinctive spatial behavioural patterns in terms of complexity, mobility and intensity of distance-movements. The young people being employed — today joculously called dokushin kizoku (bachelors' aristocracy) because of their salary raised remarkably as well as of their extensive concumer demands and high buying power — are representative for the present-day economically independent young generation. The bachelors judge urban center attractiveness on the basis of shopping facilities and also in terms of atmosphere — meeting friends, strolling through town and amusing themselves. The young people are very much courted by commercial enterprises and are regarded as special trend setters having great influence on the image and vitality of Tokyo's inner urban centers.Most attractive for the young people are the ring centers. In the southwestern suburban areas Shibuya predominates; however generally speaking it is Shinjuku, the western and leading (ring)-center, which draws the young people most strongly. Special centers such as Harajuku, Aoyama and Roppongi are also preferred by this group, often in combination with a ring-center visit. Towards the inner city core (Ginza-Nihonbashi) central place preferences chiefly of the young male bachelors are declining gradually.Compared with young people the married people prefer the ring centers only slightly before the Ginza area, which for shopping is primarily visited by housewives, for going out mainly by husbands. Particularly in the inner city core near the main office districts a typical feature for Tokyo of central place preference is evident. For the salaryman — the most representative business type in the Tokyo area — going out is identical with not going home. This phenomenon depends on the place of work in two aspects. First, spatially in terms of a close connection between office and inner city amusement/shopping centers and additionally distance-movements towards a ring center nearest of the place of work or residence. Second, socially — social activities after working hours mainly carried out with colleagues result in a behavioural pattern, in which a clear differentiation between company and private life appears to be difficult. For not going home there are many reasons — among others the constricted living conditions of Japanese homes as Westerners believe — however, other factors play a much more important role: (i) Mainly the extremely long commuting distances, which allow the salaryman a real leaving home to go out only on Sundays or holidays. Other reasons for this typically Japanese feature closely related to inner city tavern and bar visits, may be seen in (ii) the traditionally very limited participation of Japanese housewives to their husbands' out-door social activities; (iii) a system of charging and crediting expenses to one's personal bank account or the company account; (iv) the personal atmosphere of taverns and bars providing the best chances for communication/relaxation and for overcoming stress and frustrations experienced in the office.Shopping is particularly for housewives the most important motivation for visiting urban centers, in this respect two Japanese characteristics should be mentioned: First, fashion and being well-groomed are, as far as the mass of people particularly the young women is concerned, more highly esteemed than in other urban societies. As a consequence good clothes are much in demand. Purchases of these kinds of articles are most often made in department stores and cause the longest distance-movements. Second, in rank of central goods next to fashion and quality clothes follow standard gifts such as seibo and chugen. The purchase of these articles is apart from the unique custom of giving gifts twice a year typically Japanese also in so far as it contradicts the least-effort criterion in central place theory. Though these patterns mostly bought by housewives or middle-aged and older people are substantially more of daily or periodical than episodical demand, they are related to surprisingly long distance-movements because of usually being bought for image reasons in leading department stores located in higher-ranking more distant urban centers.Typical behaviour for all groups visiting higher-order urban centers is an often used combination of shopping and taking part in out-door activities such as meeting friends/acquaintances, strolling around, going to the cinema or other show performances, eating, drinking and chatting together. This is due to the outstanding facilities available not only in retail-trade but also in the gastronomic, entertainment and amusement sectors.Taken all together, complexity and intensity of central place preferences in Tokyo reflect the higher and different attractiveness of Japanese urban centers compared with that of other urban societies. The urban centers are highly esteemed because of their excellent facilities as well as of their vitality, crowds and activity. These latter characteristics are summarized by the word nigiyaka meaning vivacity, which is most typical for Japanese urban centers. The inner city centers of Tokyo can be regarded in the true sense of this term as urban foci compensating for diverse problems such as environmental pollution or lack of inner urban green areas, making life in the most densely populated area of the world worthwhile. 相似文献

Multi-aquifer pumping tests, using a multi-screen pumping well and multi-level piezometers, were carried out for groundwater flow control in a large-scale excavation site in Tokyo, Japan. The site was underlain by multi-layered confined aquifers. In the tests, pumping was carried out using a multi-aquifer pumping well in which a screen depth was chosen arbitrarily. Changes in groundwater pressure heads in each aquifer were measured at each screen position of the multi-aquifer pumping well. Hydraulic conductivity (K) and specific storage (S s) of not only aquifers, but also for low permeability layers between the aquifers, were estimated using the Cooper-Jacob method, and calibrated by a finite element method (FEM) groundwater model. Four different cutoff wall lengths were assumed for final excavation depth, and correlations among wall length, pumping discharge and drawdown at the back of the cutoff wall were obtained from simulations using the K and S s parameters in the FEM model. Then, the most suitable wall length was selected based on the simulated correlations considering environmental condition, construction period and cost of the cutoff wall. 相似文献

To meet the increasing demand for air transportation, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport had carried out the offshore
extension project at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport). The airport should be constructed to be perfectly level,
but the ground conditions with very thick layers of super soft dredged soils and need for reclamation made the task very difficult.
Because of large amount of consolidation settlement, ground improvement by combined vertical drain method was applied to decrease
residual and differential settlement after opening of new airport. This paper is aimed to introduce the design concept and
method of ground improvement for this project. In addition the result of ground improvement is keeping satisfactory performance
for operating airport confirmed by long-term monitoring for airport facilities. 相似文献
