Ⅰ. Course Background and Overall Goal
In the Asia Monsoon areas, especially East and Southeast Asia, there are many floods
every year, and much human life and property are lost by flood. In order to reduce thedamage caused by flood, Hardware-type infrastructures like an embankment for river or areservoir are very effective. On the other hand, Soft-type infrastructures like “Flood HazardMap”, which can offer the information including the past flood track record, flood
anticipation, evacuation route, evacuation place, etc to the residents, are also important.
Especially in developing countries which behind in Hardware-type infrastructure, it iseffective to take the measure of a software-type immediately.
Under such a situation, we have been implementing this training course “Flood Hazard
Mapping” for 8 countries in East and Southeast Asia since JFY2004. The course isspecifically designed for technical managers and/or engineers who are involved in flood orriver management in the public sector.
The overall goal is that an original flood hazard map is created in each region, and theflood damage in the area concerned is mitigated.

Ⅱ. Course Description
1. Course Title (No.):

2. Course Objective/Outcome:The technology, knowledge and experience, which the participants acquired andexperienced in Japan, are shared among the officials and engineers who engage in theflood and river management.
3. Course Outputs:
To achieve the above mentioned objective, participants are expected to produce thefollowing outputs by the end of this course:(1) Understanding the effectiveness of flood hazard maps and acquiring the way todisseminate and utilize them for people(2) Acquiring Methods to enhance people’s capability and promote public awarenessto mitigate flood damage(3) Acquiring the professional knowledge of hydrology and inundation analysis
necessary to produce flood hazard maps
(4) Acquiring the general knowledge of flood hazard maps in the world/ in Europe/ inAsia/ in Japan(5) Understanding the ways of producing and applying flood hazard maps for theirown countries/regions, and making the action plan (draft) along which they
promote Flood Hazard Mapping after they go back to their country
4. Duration:
