Japan Society of Civil Engineers
Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) was incorporated in 1914 with a mission to“contribute to the advancement of scientific culture and the development of society bypromoting the field of civil engineering, developing civil engineering activities, and improving
civil engineering skills” (from JSCE Constitution).
Three pillars of JSCE’s activities are:- Advancement of academic and technical fields- Direct contribution to the global community- Promoting exchange and new ideas
JSCE has over 40,000 members (as of Nov. 2005) consisting of educational and research
institutions, construction companies, consultants, government offices and other relatingorganizations. Headquartered in Tokyo, JSCE holds 8 regional Chapters and 4 International
Sections. Cooperation Agreement has been concluded with 24 equivalent overseas
societies (as of August 2005). JSCE is a supporting organization of the Asian Civil
Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC), and thus taking on an ever -significant role in
the international community.
The Organization for Promotion of Civil Engineering Technology (OPCET) was establishedin 2000 to assist the advancement of the civil engineering profession. One of the major
activities is promoting Civil Engineers’ Qualification System of JSCE: mutual recognition of
the qualification system with the Cooperation Agreement societies is in process.

Advancement of Academic and Technical Fields
JSCE works in collaboration with its peer societies to collect information and to engage instudies and researches in the civil engineering field.
More than 30 committees work conduct extensive studies and researches pursuing thestate-of-art civil engineering technologies. The findings are shared widely throughout thecivil engineering community, presented in lectures and symposiums, or published in forms ofbooks.
In addition, the society offers JSCE Awards every year to recognize the outstanding
engineers, civil engineering works, and newly developed technologies that have madeconsiderable contributions to the civil engineering profession.

Dispatching investigation/ technical support teams to large-scale disaster afflicted areas
to analyze causes
Of the total 34 teams dispatched since 1998, 16 were to countries abroad
Introducing experienced civil engineers through JSCE’s Registration & Recruiting
System of Senior Civil Engineers, and assisting to improve future civil engineering
quality through Civil Engineer’s Qualification System of JSCE
Introducing the most current activities of JSCE on its website

JSCE has dispatched investigation teams to disaster-stricken areas thirteen times since1999. The current ones are to Sumatra Island right after the 2005 Sumatra Earthquake
and to Pakistan soon after the 2005 Kashmire Earthquake. Another team is going toPakistan to conduct further investigations on-site.

Promoting Exchange and New Ideas
JSCE provides the members with information, forums and opportunities of social andacademic activities for encouraging active exchange and the improvement of theirprofessionalism.

Information Provision
Publications include the monthly magazine “Civil Engineering” in Japanese and quarterly
journals. A quarterly English newsletter is published for the members residing outside ofJapan.

Opportunities for Exchange
The JSCE Annual Meeting is held in fall, featuring International Roundtable Meeting,academic lectures and panel discussions on current issues surrounding the civilengineering profession. For overseas guest, special programs are arranged toencourage active exchange with their colleagues.
The International Summer Symposium and Student Tour Grant are a few of theopportunities of international exchange.
Joint seminars, symposia and workshops are organized with the Cooperation Agreement
societies throughout the year.

7Architectural Institute of JapanFounded in 1886, the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) has promoted the advancementand development of science, technology and art concerning architecture, with the mutual
collaboration of its members. It was originally established as an institute for architects, with
26 founding architects. Mr. Josiah Conder, a British architect invited to teach at the TechnicalCollege in Tokyo (present the University of Tokyo) as a Professor of Architecture by thegovernment, was elected as Honorary President of the Institute. The Institute wasauthorized by the Ministry of Education and changed its name to the Architectural Institute in1905 and to the Architectural Institute of Japan in 1947. AIJ celebrated its centennial in
1986.
AIJ is an academic association with about 38,000 members. It is not a governmentalorganization but a non-profit organization for architects, building engineers and researchersin every field of architecture. AIJ publishes results of research and studies and spreads
architectural culture through its programs such as exhibitions, symposia and distributes
architectural information to the public. The main purpose of the Institute is to cultivate its
members' abilities and to heighten architectural quality in Japan. Front-line researchers,
officers of other architectural associations and officials of government and other public
offices also are members of AIJ. AIJ liaises with universities and other research institutes.
As the sole integrated institute in the field of architecture, AIJ has made an important
contribution to the development of science, technology and art. There are many
associations for architects, building engineers, general contractors, and building materials
and equipment corporations in Japan. Among these associations, AIJ has been the mostprestigious academic association.
AIJ organizes nationwide activities for its members. AIJ has nine chapters by dividing Japan
into the following nine regions -- Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Tokai, Hokuriku, Kinki, Chugoku,
Shikoku and Kyushu -- for activities to meet the detailed needs of each chapter. AIJ owns its
head office building equipped with a library, a hall and conference rooms for members at thecenter of Tokyo.

Holistic research activities
AIJ has conducted cross-sectional front-line research and studies covering broad areas of
the field of architecture and building engineering because of its consisting of researchers of
every sector and reflecting their whole range of expertise. This is one of the strong points of
AIJ and also shows our policy. In other words, AIJ aims to study architecture synthesizing
the knowledge of broad areas of the field of architecture and building engineering such asbuilding structures and materials, architectural planning and design, environmental
engineering, and architectural history and theory. AIJ recognizes that global and local issuesof our environment and sustainable development require a holistic approach. Thus AIJ aims
to conduct holistic, integral and collaborative research learning from experience andemphasizing architecture, which balances design and technology, and natural environmentand city design and planning as a sole integrated institute in the field of architecture.

Activities for the public
A reconnaissance team consisting of specialists of various fields is organized when damage
investigation is needed in the case of disasters, such as the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake(1995), and the results are also generally released widely and proposals for disastermitigation for the future are submitted to the government. High concern has been shown
also in the preservation of historical buildings over many years. The Modern Architecture :Inventory of pre-1945 Cultural Properties in Japan was published. If demolition of thosebuildings becomes a problem, preservation requests have been submitted. Many buildings
are saved and there are also buildings later specified as important cultural properties ofJapan. AIJ strives for such buildings. AIJ also conducts the following activities for the public:
Encourage policies and practices that promote environmental responsibility andawareness and the principles of conservation and sustainable development
AIJ in June 2000 enacted the "Architectural Charter for a Global Environment."
Set committees on international exchange as Japan's contact points for internationalarchitectural academic exchanges
Spread Japanese architectural culture to the public
Distribute outcomes of research and studies and architectural information to the public
Organize open symposia, seminars and lectures about architecture for citizens ingeneral and set up committees for themArchitectural Institute of Japan

NPO
EWB-JAPAN (Engineers Without Borders, Japan)
Prospectus
Goals of the NPO, Engineers without Borders, Japan
Several devastating earthquakes have recently caused tremendous disasters all over theworld.

The disasters include the tsunami induced by Off-Sumatran earthquake of 2004,

Bam earthquake, Iran of 2003, Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake of 2004, Japan and Pakistan
earthquake, 2005.

Storms and floods have also been resulted in huge losses of lives andproperties.
Japanese academic societies such as the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE),
Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) have contributed to the risk reduction of natural
disasters worldwide by sending investigation/ technical teams, to investigate and analyze
disasters and induced damages, and to make recommendations for disaster mitigation.
Prompt and appropriate advices from experts in the fields of civil engineering andarchitectural engineering are regarded valuable in long-term.

However, the activities ofengineers from the societies of civil engineers and architectural engineers are consideredsufficient to reduce the sufferings of the afflicted people by natural disasters. The experts
from the civil engineering and architectural engineering fields are strongly requested for theirtechnical diagnoses of the causes of damages and advice and suggestions concerning
effective rehabilitation and retrofitting techniques to apply to damaged buildings, dwellings
and infrastructures such as roadways, railways, bridges and lifelines.
Lessons learned from past natural disasters have been included in teaching materials: they
are utilized in disaster prevention education in Japan.

However, there is very little disasterprevention education to promote the public awareness in developing countries. Due to thelack of correct knowledge and understanding of natural disasters, people can havegroundless fears and take longer time to overcome their anxiety.

Furthermore, publicawareness and retrofitting information and techniques are expected to be promoted more
widely, and increase the overall wellbeing of the people.

Hence, there yet remains animportant place for the experts from the fields of both civil engineering and architectural
engineering for the education of the public for natural disaster mitigation.

10

It has been highly appreciated worldwide that various Japanese NPOs including medical aid
groups have contributed greatly to relieve support of the people affected by natural
disasters.
We, as the engineers from the fields of civil engineering and architectural engineering,hereby establish the NPO, Engineers without Borders, Japan (hereinafter referred to as theNPO, or the Organization) for the purpose of supporting directly the damaged areas andaffected people and also developing activities to reduce the natural disasters within Japanand worldwide.

Activities(1) Supports for restoration and reconstruction of the areas affected by natural
disasters
The NPO’s activities shall include the followings: (a) To diagnose damaged houses,
buildings and civil-infrastructures such as bridges, port and harbor facilities, and riverbanks.
If structures are determined serviceable suffering slight damage, (b) To advise appropriate
repair works, and (c) To conduct reasonable and practical restoration works to affected
areas(2) Dissemination of technologies and know-hows for natural disaster mitigation
The NPO shall take the leadership for disseminating technologies for natural disastermitigation by organizing seminars, distributing textbooks for better diagnosis and retrofittingof houses, buildings, civil infrastructures, industrial facilities and lifelines.
(3) Education for prevention and mitigation of natural disasters
The NPO shall edit and publish teaching materials and translate them into various
languages for promoting public awareness and preparedness about disaster prevention thatshould be conveyed to the next generations.

Educational programs for trainers shall beorganized as well.
(4) Promotion of the international disaster prevention researches
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms and floods are the common problems thatmany countries have to deal with. The NPO will take an important role in promoting higher
educations and researches worldwide, asking for collaborations of academic societies,
major universities, public and private research institutions to join its activities. In addition, theOrganization shall conduct international symposiums and exchange programs researchers
for researchers and students.

11Organization
The outline of the NPO shown in Figure 1 has been approved by both JSCE and AIJ, andthe preparation for its launch is in progress.

As it expands the field of activity, theOrganization will receive supports from JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers)
and/or IEEJ (The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan) in due time.
The Organization also shall collaborate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), JICA
and the Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), and solicit advice, suggestions
and funds from private sectors for its sound steering. Though working as an independent
organization, the Organization shall collaborate with existing NPOs in order to acquire theknow-hows for effective and efficient business operation.
