Opening Ceremony

Opening Remark by the Host City
It is my pleasure to host the 10th Asian-Pacific City Summit and to see member city mayors andmany others attending at the opening ceremony.
Since the Industrial Revolution, the world has seen rapid expansion of economical growth,
aggressive mass production that equaled consumption. As a result, we attained abundance in life.
However, now we are paying for the past and facing economical crisis globally, deterioration ofenvironment and exhausting available resources.
As a responsible urban manager, we are called to shift a city planning paradigm fromextricating growth and exploitation centric one to a new paradigm, of green growth that balances
economical and environmental development, which the international community approves.
We are here today for this very reason; helping each other by exchanging ideas and sharing

Mr. PARK Seung-ho

examples of urban development based on low carbon green growth that should meet the need ofMayor of Pohang City

today's globalization. I expect that this Asian-Pacific City Summit gives us a chance to strengthen
partnership by understanding and collaboration and enabling to accumulate helpful data andexamples on green growth. I also hope that the conference, as a result, creates synergy formember cities to start developing plans toward accomplishing a sustainable city.
If we, who are here today as members of the summit, pursue the urban development basedon low carbon green growth, then we will surely give powerful new breath into the Asia region
which in turn develops into an internationally competitive center of the world. Moreover, I firmly
believe that we contribute to the world with global hope of building a healthier future.

Greeting by the Founding CityAs the mayor of the founding city of the summit, it is a great honor for me to be here in Pohang
at the 10th Asian-Pacific City Summit and to address the opening statement. I would like tocongratulate Mayor Seung-Ho Park of the host city for the successful opening of the summit, andto thank the people of Pohang for hosting us.
Today, population increase and rapid urbanization challenge us to solve the environmental
burdens we face. In this perspective, the time has come when the value of a city is not measured
merely by its economic scale, but also by its sustainable development. The key factor should
be how a city continues sustainable growth while maintaining the harmony among nature, its
residents, and the city itself.

Mr. TAKASHIMA Soichiro
Mayor of Fukuoka City

I am indeed convinced that it is meaningful for us to discuss the theme, "Urban Network
Development for Low-carbon Green Growth," at this summit and share each other's successful
and advanced programs.
Fukuoka City implements highly advanced environmental technologies such as waste landfill
and desalination. In addition, our city has accumulated various urban information and know-how
of urban problem solving through exchanges with overseas cities over the years. Fukuoka City
hopes that member cities can use our knowledge as reference.
As the founding city of this summit and the location of the secretariat, Fukuoka City willcontinue to work hard to promote stronger bond among the member cities and further information
sharing on the solution of urban problems.
Lastly, I sincerely wish the success of the 10th Asian-Pacific City Summit, further
development of participating cities, and the good health of participants and as well as the peopleof Pohang City.

Guest Presentation

UN-HABITAT's Approach to Green Growth

Mr. Lalith LANKATILLEKE
Senior Human Settlements Officer
United Nations Human Settlements
Programme (UN-HABITAT) Regional
Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) Fukuoka

UN-HABITAT, an agency of United Nations, is mandated by the general assembly for sustainableurban growth and adequate shelter for all. Our main activities include post natural disaster and post
conﬂict rehabilitation programs, urban governance and participating program, poverty reductions
especially in urban areas by upgrading slums and improving living conditions of people. The current
important issue we are dealing is of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
UN-HABITAT Fukuoka Office (Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific) is responsible for
Asia Pacific area and located in Fukuoka City. Fukuoka is a great advocate of sustainable urban
development and it is a very green city.
One of the significant factors associated with climate change is demand of energy consumption
as the standard of living elevates. Asia and Pacific region is one of the natural disaster prone areas
where more than 238 million people currently live in the Low Elevation Coastal Zone, at sea level
below 10 meter, making them vulnerable to climate change and possible water rise above sea level.
Adaptation options include climate proofing of urban infrastructure, investing in storm waterdrainage, early warning systems, to enhance community resilience, upgrading of settlements, andrelocation of extremely vulnerable settlements and infrastructure.
While mitigation options include energy efficiency in local government facilities, foresighted
transport with infrastructure planning, compact and dense urban patterns to reduce travel distances
but enhances infrastructure network.
Responding to climate change, being main contributors to global warming, reduction ofgreenhouse gas is important for the cities. This requires also lessening vulnerability of citizens. It
is important to place the people in the center of the process when moving forward for green cities.
United Nations advocates this as "People's Process of Greening Cities."

Why Low Carbon Green Growth?
There is a sense of urgency in today's world we see the change in nature and society as the world
faces the tipping point. According to a recent OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development) report, we are now experiencing a reverse phenomenon that natural and societal
burdens outweigh benefit brought by economic growth. The report also warns that compared topreindustrial times, the climate change will see +3C-6C global rise of temperature by 2100.
IEA (International Energy Agency) suggests if we invest appropriately to control the rise of
temperature under +2C, then the benefit will be greater to us. While COP10 (10th Meeting of

Mr. SUEYOSHI Takejiro
Special Advisor
UNEP FI

the Conference of the Parties) reports that the cost of biodiversity loss caused by human activities
amounts to USD2-4 trillion per year.
In response to this, at United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio + 20), many

(Kagoshima City Environmental

financial institutions signed that they would invest to protect natural resources. Also the World Bank

Advisor)began 50/50 project campaign targeting nations and corporations.
According to United Nations report, more than half of the world population will be concentrated
in urban areas post 2020. Being the largest energy consumer, cities are required to lead energy
reduction and aim for resilient and green city by connecting with others. New demarcation of public
and private interest becomes very important in the future urban policies. And a future city shouldmaterialize sustainable development in economy, society and civic life.
In every way, a reform begins from cities and cities make it possible to reform.

Dr. KIM Yongmin
Professor and President
Pohang University of Scienceand Technology

12 ● Asian-Pacific City Summit in Pohang

POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) is only 26 years old, yetin such a short history, it achieved the No.1 university ranking in Asia.
Innovation is the one that creates something new and beneficial, solves problems,
also enables to view issues from different perspectives. This is different from mere
designing that may not necessarily create a new value. Entrepreneurs bring ideas tothe marketplace. And, entrepreneurship dares to take calculated risks in the process.
A key question is how should or can a university innovate or create new values,
and offer solutions to enormous global challenges like climate change, environment,
energy, or health issues.
POSTECH shares 3 representative green technologies. They are new material,
electric car, and fuel cell. These are promising technologies. But like any ideas,
discoveries, or technological development, 98% of these never materialize forcommercial use or as merchandise. It is, therefore, universities face a huge task inattempt of product development.
What we need is a connecting bridge between basic research andcommercialization. Support systems and settings are necessary for policy changes
of industries supported by government policies, as well as university policies toadapt and advance accordingly. Campus entrepreneurs should have academic
entrepreneurship not only to innovate but to create products eventually reaching tocommercialization.
To be successful, we need excellence and innovation in research then weshould understand market needs and competitive nature of the commercial world.
As we leverage existing strength, experience or patents, we also need to cultivate
communication skills and passion. In this sense, POSCO and Pohang Technopark
are existing strengths of Pohang City.
We should work together with industry to produce a win-win-win relationshipamong industry, academia and government as this is the only way to materialize
commercialization of technologies that universities develop.
POSTECH plays a vital role in making Pohang City a high-tech city and further
contributes to build a global city. There are many foreign students, international
faculty members and researchers on POSTECH campus. And the university is now
building the 4th generation of accelerator. The university has built basic science
institutes and the Korean government awarded 4 of those institutes in May 2012as top 10 basic institutes for science on campus. The university supports regional
technology development, academia-industry-government joint research and start-up
venture business in Pohang.
To embody and implement entrepreneurship with active innovation, it is a mustthat a university, venture capitalists, investors, legal community, industry, existing
business community, local, state, and federal government work closely together.
Additionally, a research university is indispensable to form a high-tech city.
A research university needs to produce graduates who can become global leaders,
who can go anywhere in the world and compete, survive, not only survive but
succeed. All these elements produce advanced technology that will bring profit into
the surrounding community then to the nation with sustainable high technologies
that offer solutions to challenges like environment, energy, food, clean water, or
medical field.

Rainwater harvesting system in Ipoh City

The rainwater harvesting system of Ipoh can be defined as gathering or accumulating and storing of rainwater. Recovered water is used ashousehold drinking water, for livestock, for irrigation and a way to refill aquifers in a process of ground water recharge. It helps Ipoh citizens tosave household water cost, usage consumption as well as protect environment.
Increase of water demand, due to population growth and industrialization, calls for more efficient and effective management of finite water
resource.
To respond to the need, one of solutions, considered by Malaysian government is the implementation of "Rainwater Harvesting System(RWHS)." In 1999, the Ministry of Housing and the local government prepared "Guidelines for Installing a Rainwater Collection & Utilization
System" which they promoted highly. The system became an eye-catching alternative plan in sustainable water resource management underthe "9th Malaysian Plan." Then, in 2007, the Malaysian Government introduced an implementation plan, "Rainwater Harvesting System(RWHS)"and promoted the plan by setting up the National Water Resources Committee with urban development aspect in the context ofrainwater harvesting.
In April 2011, through the amendment to the "Uniform Building By Laws (UBBL) 1984," Malaysian Government placed a mandate thatcompulsory rainwater harvesting for each new housing and government buildings and encouraged the system to be applied to older buildings as
well.
The city needs to ensure the rainwater harvesting system being implemented efficiently and effectively, then by identifying and preserving
existing water catchments; it needs to include storage in local areas, preferably at elevated locations, by protecting them.
Furthermore, various government agencies, by utilizing mass media, should promote the benefit and importance of Rainwater Harvesting
System and to incorporate this into education curriculum at schools in the future.

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (Republic of Korea)

Mr. OH Seung Ieek
Executive Director, Free International City Bureau, Jeju Special SelfGoverning Province［Subject］

Development of Circular Eco-trail System

Ecotourism* is gaining popularity in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province as a new tourism pattern and is viewed as a model of future city
development. The Korean Government chose the top 10 model regions in which Geomum Oreum and UNESCO's Global Geopark, Biosphere
Reserve in Jeju are included. In addition, the area environment is highly recognized globally as one of the World Natural Heritage sites and oneof Ramsar Wetland sites.
Jeju Olle promotional direction incorporates completion of circular eco-trail system to highlight the area's geographical quality andimprovement of trails that are valuable from traveler's perspective. While Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and administrative cities are
responsible for the general planning and coordination; the newly established World Natural Heritage Management Office manages preservationand good use of the heritage sites; then the Jeju Olle Foundation and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province handles daily business operation.
Achievements of the project are improvement of walking paths at Mt. Halla circular forest trail and World Natural Heritage Geomun Oreum
Trails and establishment of the Jeju Olle Foundation and its activities.
Positive outcome of the project was recognized by the Korean Government as a good example of low carbon green growth and an ecotourism promotional model which also received high profiled media attentions. Furthermore, many tourists previously limited their visit to Mt.
Halla now include Jeju Olle Trails for their destination.
Future development plan includes completion of trails, promotion of Jeju Olle for global recognition by activities such as hosting
international events that leads to revitalization of the local economy.
* Ecotourism: Tourism structure promoted by local people that aims for conservation and enhancement of sustainable local natural environment by understanding its historicalbackground, value and beauty. (Ministry of the Environment, Japan)

Kitakyushu City (Japan)

Mr. UMEMOTO Kazuhide
Deputy Mayor of Kitakyushu City
［Subject］

Urban Policy and Inter-city Cooperation for Low-Carbon Green Growth

Kitakyushu experienced severe environmental pollution problem in 1950's but the city reversed its course since 1969 by taking environmental
actions such as "Green production," streamlining production process and environmental improvement, and making environmental andeconomical growth compatible. As a result, today, economic growth and improved environment coexist with this drastic countermeasure against
pollution.
In 2009 the city established an action plan of Kitakyushu eco-model, "Green Frontier Plan" and is targeting 50% CO2 reduction stillachieving 40% economic growth by 2050. Kitakyushu was elected to be one of the real world testing cities with next generation energy system
and it launched "Kitakyushu Smart Community" project this year. The city is developing "regional energy management system" and "dynamic
pricing" which enable electrical energy supply and networking through IT in best condition through a smart community center.
Also, by building an environmental cooperation network with Asian cities, the city has been accepting trainees/researchers from developing
countries as well as contributing to Cambodia's environmental improvement.
With various projects being successful, in July 2011, the city was named as a model city of green growth by OECD (Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development) and then in December 2011, Japanese Government appointed the city as a "Green Asia International
Strategic Comprehensive Special Zone."In June 2010, the city, in an effort to support international environmental business development, opened the "Kitakyushu Asian Center for
Low Carbon Society" carrying the mission to promote Asian economy and reduction of CO2.
The city will continue to move forward into the future by collaborating with citizens with their wisdom to build a sustainable city successful
in both economical growth and environmental conservation.

Fukuoka City (Japan)

Mr. TAKASHIMA Soichiro
Mayor of Fukuoka City
［Subject］

Fukuoka City's Approaches Toward Becoming a Green City

Fukuoka City has four distinctive policies in support of building a green city. They are "waste disposal," "conservation of natural environment,""distributed autonomous energy," and "environmental education, increasing citizens' awareness."
Fukuoka City actively carries out waste collection at night, incinerates 100% of combustible trashes, and converts waste into energy throughwaste power generation (thermal recovery). The City has developed the Fukuoka Method, its own system of landfill technology. To transfer thistechnology to other cities in the Asian-Pacific region, the Environmental Bureau is sending its staff to provide technical guidance. The Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board of the United Nations has approved the Fukuoka Method as new a CDM. After introducing
this method into existing landfills, the reduced amount of methane gas emissions can be used for carbon credit (emission trading of global
warming gases).
To conserve Hakata Bay area environment, the City is planning to set up a wild bird park in Island City. Also, the City is planning to develop
a distributed autonomous energy system to construct a "CO2 zero emission zone", where all residents work together to conserve and create
energy. A permanent exhibition of the "smart house," a CO2 zero model home, is opened to public. Other notable projects include the Seibu(Nakata) landfill mega solar power project and the field study of the wind-lens turbine.
The City believes that environmental education and the increase of citizens' awareness are fundamental elements of building a green city, andis working hard to implement them.
Fukuoka City has other world-class technologies. Desalination (drinking water technology) is one of them. The city has also developed
advanced wastewater technology (reuse of reclaimed water) for the purpose of practical use. The City is offering international visit and training
programs for the following five areas: green city development, water resources utilization, urban design, welfare for the elderly, and firefighting& disaster prevention. Fukuoka City will continue to expand these programs in order to introduce the Fukuoka Model to the world.

Green Growth Development based on Low Carbon City in Jakarta

Jakarta, the capital of Republic of Indonesia, is easily impacted by climate changes due to its topography and high population density. It isvulnerable to ﬂood hazard or high tide above sea level from extreme weather caused by global warming with high temperature.
In 2007, Jakarta joined C40 (The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group), then in 2009, at COP15 (the 15th United Nations Climate Change
Conference), the city sets forth to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 30% in 2030.
In developing the Regional Action Plan for Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, Spatial Planning (RTRW) of DKI year 20102030 states the city to aim 30% reduction of greenhouse gas emission by 2030. However, the task remains the challenge as how to achieve thisreduction goal since 2005 greenhouse gas emission was 35.09 million tons but this is projected to rise to 113 million tons in 2030.
Various action plans are implemented to mitigate and adapt to climate changes. Sector plans for the smart use of energy, traffic, waste,
sewerage are in progress as well as other plans are on their ways. For instance, "Smart Adaptation" Program to reduce climate change
vulnerability includes mangrove forest planting and ﬂood control sea defense wall structuring.
Also, the project like water management for efficient movement of water through 5R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recharge, and Recovery)
encourages citizen participation.
By integrating various sector programs through the Spatial Plan, Jakarta moves forward to achieve a low carbon green growth city.

［Subject］

Building a City of Low Carbon & Green Growth

Gwangyang's environmental policy direction centers in having sustainable growth driven by harmony between nature and industry.
There are 6 key sector policies: (1) Urban Regeneration: Based on environmental conditions for eco-city building (2006 – 2015), renews
the land, and builds green traffic infrastructure in rural and mountainous areas; (2) Green City: The Green Gwangyang Grand Project involves
projects such as joint park development with private companies and construction of industrial complex by joint investment with industry
community; (3) Green Life & Waste Recycling: To promote waste reduction and recycling, the city sets and manages "carbon point system"and "green card"; (4) Climate & Atmosphere: By abiding "Curtailment Target of Greenhouse Gas Emissions" the city aims for 31% emission
reduction in 2020 compared to 2005 level. By the enactment and revision of the master plan against climate change and the Ordinances on Low
Carbon & Green Growth and landscape, the city has established the basic platform for greenhouse gas reduction. At the same time it calls forbroader supply of renewable energy expansion; (5) Pure Water Quality: Ensuring biodiversity preservation and restoration along Sumjin River;and (6) Green Industry: Production of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) of 0.5 million ton annually (power generation of 92MW). Building of green
eco-port and utilization of ware house for photovoltaic power generation are in progress.
Future directions encompass strengthening joint cooperative network among neighboring municipalities and inaugurating "Gwangyang
Council on Sustainable Environmental Development (tentative name)." Then the city plans to raise additional environmental awareness among
citizens and their spontaneous participation to improve the environment which the city will continue to invest in infrastructure aiming for agreen city.
Furthermore, an environmental control center for the Gwangyang Bay Area will be established in order to enhance a joint cooperation
network among councils for broad-based actions against environmental issues.

［Subject］

Moving towards a Low-carbon Kumamoto CityIn March 2010, Kumamoto City formulated a plan called, "Strategic Plan for the Realization of Low-Carbon Kumamoto City" to reduce global
warming as the community and shifting to a low-carbon society.
To achieve the targeted green house gas emission reduction, the city systematized four strategies and created "Action Plan 80," consisting of
80 leading projects to advance medium-and-long term initiatives. With these strategies and plans, the city has been verifying and implementing
the strategic plan.
The city moves with the three important viewpoints, "wide-area cooperation," "civic collaboration," and "personnel training" for therealization of a "Low-Carbon Kumamoto City."
Main initiatives are "groundwater maintenance," "promotion of solar energy," "thorough utilization of energy and resources of waste," and"development support and attracting eco-business companies."
Future vision of a "Low-Carbon Kumamoto City" by implementing these initiatives should be seen in the following improved structures:(1) Integrated multinuclear city with local characteristics; (2) Decentralized efficient energy system including administration and use; (3) Ecofriendly transportation system; and (4) Efficient use of water and greenery resource, strength of Kumamoto, in small hydropower generationand creation of greenery.
Kumamoto wishes to send a message to the world as an attractive city, contributing to global environment, described as "a city utilizing therich natural sparkling water and greenery, which is low-carbon and livable, where people can feel their lives are vitally connected and enriched,"
and "a compact city which has accessible public transport, efficient energy saving and production of energy."

Measures to Create a Low Carbon Society in Oita City, Japan

Oita City places global warming countermeasure as one of the top priorities of the city and while seeking sustainable development, aims towarda low-carbon city.
A unique approach under the principle, "creation of a civil cooperation city," citizens, business, and administration are working as a team.
The city initiated "Oita Citizens Meeting on Measures against Global Warming" to establish a firm foundation of the movement. Then to raise
public awareness on climate change, programs like "civil environment university" and "environmental event in Oita City" were created to getcitizens actively involved.
Furthermore, the city actively introduced renewable energy. Solar power generation equipments to households with financial subsidiary is
being promoted, and other movements such as "civil challenge to reduce energy consumption" or "green curtain movement" are campaigns both
citizens and businesses embrace together to control summer time energy consumption level.
Additionally, aiming to be recycling society, the city promotes in the area of recycling household wastes. By categorizing waste into 12
types and "squeezing water out of food waste," the level of waste management has improved in reducing waste volume, transport efficiency,
combustion efficiency at incineration plants.
Looking into the future, there is another city-wide project to create and preserve "everybody's forest." Having established a "Green Dream
Bank," in which a certain amount of acorns are exchanged for eco-friendly goods, collection of acorns are well promoted among citizens. Using
the collected acorns, "civil campaign to plant trees" is being implemented to enable seedling and planting trees for the future generation.
Though each project may produce only a handful of fruitful result in the grand global scheme, we believe that the each step is the missionthat we must accomplish in this generation.

Vladivostok's Major Environmental Projects

The City of Vladivostok addresses environmental issues from comprehensive approach with the latest technology and methods. The
environmental protection projects were included in the governmental program called, "The Development of Vladivostok as the Center forInternational Cooperation in Asia Pacific" and the federal target program "Economical and Social Development of Russian Far East and Baikal
Territory by 2013."
A new waste treatment and disposal complex as well as the restoration of old domestic waste dump site will be a good example of theefficient waste treatment solution. It is one of the most important ecological projects of the city and it rejects waste combustion and provides the
maximal recycling of the waste components and their re-use including the subsequent fabrication of building materials.
And it is expected that improvement will be seen on both Amursky and Ussuriisky bay pollution by construction of three bio-purification
facilities that will help to change the situation dramatically by improving the quality of sea water.
Another major project of the city was gasification of the main power plant on the south of the Primorye Region. Converting from coal to gas
transfer started in September last year. In the first phase it already accomplished 40% reduction of harmful emissions. In 2010, the city launchedprograms to upgrade storm drain systems and a long-term "Vladivostok's Greening" program is also in place.
Other methods of environmental projects include education. Ecological education at schools and other institutes involves as many
participants as possible with various events and programs.
The city supports various environmental initiatives proposed by local NGO and youth organizations alike. In 2011, for the first time,
Vladivostok celebrated the "World Environment Day" and continues to promote ecologically sound environment through many channels.

Low-Carbon Policies in Kagoshima City

Kagoshima City is actively moving to promote a low-carbon city by implementing various action plans, including 6 basic policies, under"Kagoshima City Environmental Foundation Plan," which is the compass of the city's environmental policies, as well as taking actions based
from "Kagoshima City Counter-Global Warming Action Plan," which is the implementation plan for countering global warming.
As tangible on-going renewable energy implementation is the construction of "Kagoshima Mega-Solar Power Plants" for public facilities,
elementary and junior high school use. Since 2004, the plan has expanded to offer grants for residential-use solar-powered systems also. Thereis a plan for corporations, like Kysocera and IHI, to build 70 megawatts (the largest scale in Japan) capacity plants in the near future.
The city moves forward with installation of biogas facilities utilizing raw waste. Additionally, in an effort of countermeasure against "HeatIsland Effect," rooftops, wall sides, rail track surface, or school grounds are covered with turf and thus creating green space. Furthermore, thecity advocates eco-friendly technologies to general public with an incentive like subsidizing electric car purchase, replacing 90% of official
vehicles to eco-friendly ones, installation of paths for cyclists in the city and subsidizing power-assisted bicycles.
The city built "Kagoshima Museum of the Environment," the base facility for environmental education for learning to gain knowledge toraise awareness and to infiltrate general public.
We believe deepening ties, among the member cities, with collective wisdom through the summit, is crucial to accelerate countermeasureplans against global climate change. Kagoshima City is committed as a willing partner to this endeavor.

Downtown Revitalization Strategies of Pohang

During the early industrialization when constructing Pohang Industrial Complex, Pohang City experienced serious contamination aroundDongbin Port area resulting downtown population departure to the surrounding areas including Jukdo Market as the downtown progressively
degenerated into a slum.
With this background, the city realized the need of waterfront development and its renewal based on green growth and revitalization of
the traditional urban function reﬂecting the public demand for attractive urban landscaping. Thus, the necessity of establishing a downtown
revitalization strategy was recognized.
The two axes of the Pohang's Downtown Revitalization Strategy are 1) T9 Ocean Project and 2) Green Downtown Building Project.
"T9 Ocean Project" involves building or restoration of: (1) Dongbin Canal and Canal Side Complex; (2) Canal City; (3) Dongbin Wharf
Ways; (4) Pohang Ocean Park; (5) Pine Island Park; (6) Songdo Sand Park; (7) Pohang Tower Bridge; (8) a new marine city; and (9) Youngil
Bay Bridge.
"Green Downtown Building Project" on the other hand involves creating a downtown forest at the deserted railroad sites, building streams
in the central shopping area to revitalize the neighborhood. Additionally, the plan includes building green ways that both enhance the landscapeand serves as heat island countermeasure.
The city has a grand vision to develop its port into the 4th beautiful port in the world, with confidence that it will grow as the economic hub
in the East Sea Rim, equipped with logistics such as already existing steel industrial complex, sophisticated science institute and R&D facilities
that enables infrastructure of Yongil Bay Port as an international container port.

Reconstruction after Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in April 2010, taking place 10 years later with similar case, affected not only Miyazaki City but theentire Miyazaki Prefecture spreading the epidemic into 11 municipalities out of 26 in the prefecture. It forced the prefecture to terminate thespread by mass culling suspected 297,808 animals through vaccination, the first in Japan's history. By May 2010, the governor declared astate of emergency necessitating closing of public facilities, canceling, or postponing many events that affected economy of not only livestock
farmers but entire citizens of the prefecture.
It took 129 days before declaring the eradication of the outbreak. Notably, the epidemic was enclosed within the prefecture with utmost
effort being made to stop from further geographical spread.
Declaring a state of emergency affected the economy of Miyazaki City severely and negatively. Voluntary restrained events slumped
consumption, financial damage in tourism caused by rumors and misinformation to tourists, business declines and increased labor force
desertion all contributed to the economical downturn of the city. It was also reported the rising need of mental health care for affected livestock
farmers.
The official estimate of economical loss over the 5 year span to the prefecture is expected to be 235 billion yen and 2 billion yen for the meat
export industry of the city alone.
The city needed to recover quickly to stabilize citizen's life and counteract many issues like securing employment or reviving tourism. To
motivate all, the "Ganbaro Miyazaki Campaign" conference was initiated through both city government and citizens, working hand in hand,aiming for the reconstruction of Miyazaki City to its fullness both economically and quality of life.
Today, thorough measures are taken by livestock farmers to prevent another outbreak. And, should it occur again, contingency plans are inplace with neighboring municipalities in Miyazaki Prefecture including a conclusion of the regional epidemic prevention agreement.

Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (Kingdom of Thailand)

Bangkok Flood Protection System

Residents of Bangkok have been fighting against water for a long time.
One of the reasons lies in city's drainage systems. Bangkok has several types of drainage systems; public drainage pipes, canals, pumping
stations, retention areas, super giant draining tunnels and ﬂood walls, all of these are traditional ones. Heavy rain beyond drainage capacity
cause ﬂooding, but with hourly precipitation up to 60mm can be regularly discharged without any incident.
In regards to 2011 ﬂooding, causes can be traced to several reasons. One of them is that certain drainage systems were not properly managed
in the north and the central Thailand, thus high volume of water was retained instead of being released. Furthermore, miscalculation occurredin releasing time and volume of water against the level to be retained. Additionally, five storms bombarded the north and the central part of thecountry that caused reservoir overﬂow in such short period of time that required prompt release almost immediately.
Then, there were malfunctions of several sluice gates along the Chao Phraya River. They are under management of the Royal Irrigation
Department and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration was informed the malfunction after the ﬂood water gushed into Bangkok.
To add to more damages, residents of the area were misconceived that water would recede better without dykes and open gates thus
destroyed dykes. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to disseminate the correct information to them in an emergency. The last blame goesto governmental agencies that are responsible for water system management for their lack of cooperation and coordination.
Going forward, Bangkok will improve the city drastically by new constructions of river banks and drainage system, improvement of drain
pipes, cannel, and drain tunnel then monitor their maintenance annually. Also, the city needs to construct additional sluice gates, pumping
stations, or reservoirs and installing information system including precipitation radar.
Not to waste the lessons learned from the last year, Bangkok moves forward to be a shining city with beautiful Thai smiles around.

Asian-Pacific cities, share administrative experiences
w ith each other, a nd have a fra nk excha nge of
opinions.
