Information on the relationship between rainfall intensity, duration and accumulation frequency or return period (IDF) is commonly utilized in the design and management of urban drainage systems. Can Tho City, located in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta, is a city which has recently invested heavily in upgrading its stormwater drainage systems in the...
Accurate urban morphology provided by Local Climate Zones (LCZ), a universal surface classification scheme, offers opportunities for studies of urban heat risk, urban ventilation, and transport planning. In recent years, researchers have attempted to generate LCZ maps worldwide with the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT). However...
A common phenomenon associated with alluvial rivers is their meander evolution, eventually
forming cutoffs. Point bar deposits and ox-bow lakes are the products of lateral bend
migration and meander cutoff. The present study focuses on identifying the meanders of
River Manu and their cutoffs. Moreover, this study compares the temporal evolution...
Forest ecosystems play an indispensable role in addressing various pressing sustainability and social-ecological challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem services deterioration, hence the monitoring of the world's forests is crucial. As part of the global forest assessment workflow, a forest is generally classified and...
River meandering and anabranching have become major problems in many large rivers that carry significant amounts of sediment worldwide. The morphodynamics of these rivers are complex due to the temporal variation of flows. However, the availability of remote sensing data and geographic information systems (GISs) provides the opportunity to analyze...
Globally, estimating crop acreage and yield is one of the most critical issues that policy and
decision makers need for assessing annual crop productivity and food supply. Nowadays, satellite
remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) can enable the estimation of these crop
production parameters over large geographic areas. The...
Climate change has caused vulnerability not only to the forest ecosystem but also to forest-dependent communities. Therefore, its management is essential to increase forest ecosystem services and reduce vulnerability to climate change using an integrated approach. Although many scientific studies examined climate change impact on forest ecosystems...
Landslides are critical natural disasters characterized by a downward movement of land
masses. As one of the deadliest types of disasters worldwide, they have a high death toll every year
and cause a large amount of economic damage. The transition between urban and rural areas is
characterized by highways, which, in rugged Himalayan terrain...

The rapidly changing socio-economic landscape of the Southeast Asian countries is an important driver for systemic risks such as climate change and hydro-geological disasters. Global processes such as the SFDRR, the...
本ペーパーでは、COVID-19からの持続可能でレジリエントな回復と、グローバルな目標に沿ったより長期的な経済のリデザインに貢献するために、各国政府がすでに実施している戦略の優良事例を紹介し、さらなる行動への提言を行う。本ペーパーの読者として想定するのは、国レベル、地方レベルの実務者や政策立案者である。本ペーパーは、COVID-19からの回復とその後の社会形成に向けて、気候政策と環境政策を統合するための各国の取り組みや計画を共有するためのハブとして環境省が2020年9月に立ち上げた「リデザイン2020プラットフォーム」内の情報と、これらのトピックに関する最新の外部研究を活用し、持続可能な復興とリデザインを可能にする政策の枠組み作りと優先順位付けに環境省が役立てようとしている3つの移行...
