    This study aims to identify a characteristics of the remaining alleys toward the urban traditional houses in the old castle district of Daegu. We examined the topological layout and architectural phenomena in the district. The results are as follows; 1) Topological Depth of remaining alley areas is decreasing from 1920. 2) The alleys with urban traditional house are more winding and has more number of dead ends than that without urban traditional houses. 3) The alley areas with urban traditional houses are included more dead end alleys, with smaller buildings for residential use than that without them.

    Preservation of townscape has been being carried out under the system of “Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings” and local governments’ own independent codes as well, following the system mentioned first. Such preservation has been being done mainly in rural areas, but it is important in large cities as well since they have to face developers’ pressures to preserve their own townscape. Nagoya city, one of the active megalopolises, is a good example which has a code in order to preserve its own townscape. This research aims to clarify the actual situation of the maintenance of the traditional buildings in Arimatsu Preservation District of Nagoya City.

    Japan has 98 Preservation Districts for the Groups of Historic Buildings, where a number of restoration projects are implemented as the central task. This paper discusses the challenges of the restoration projects in preservation districts(PD), based on the investigation of full record of restoration projects for 15 years in Imai-cho Preservation District located in Nara Prefecture. Approx. 36 percent of the historic buildings of Imai-cho have already been restored. Nevertheless, (i) the restoration of rental houses or row houses have not well proceeded, and (ii) the restoration works have been expanded.

  • STUDY ON PROMOTION MEASURES OF FACTORY GREENING TO IMPROVE AND COORDINATE FACTORIES AND SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENTS
    −A case of industrial and factory location measures in Yokkaichi city, Mie Prefecture−

    As factories in the Yokkaichi petrochemical industrial complex faced severe economic conditions in the late of 1990s, not only new construction but re-construction of their plants was not conducted. Therefore greening in factories could not be improved. To promote factory greening, Yokkaichi city made a bylaw to facilitate construction and expansion of factories, a local rule and an exception related to deregulation of the Factory Location Act from the late of 1990s to the early 2000s. This paper grasps a concept of these measures of factory greening to coordinate factories and surrounding environments, analyzes effects and problems of them.

    An international design workshop was held in Chungju-city in August 2011. The main features of the intensive workshop are that more than half of the participants is undergraduate students and that members of a team have various differences in their countries, age, and specialties.
    This paper aims to examine students’ achievements in this workshop. The students were unfamiliar with workshop activities, had little technical knowledge, and were weak in communication. However, the students could finally communicate each other if they made the best use of their present knowledge and communication skill and make a decision as a group.

    The questionnaire about an living situation and living consciousness was carried out to the person moving in the elderly-people welfare facilities in Beijing. The difference in the consciousness for moving in by a person’s body conditions is arranged. Moreover, by totaling according to geographic division, the difference in the consciousness for moving in by a location place is analyzed. From these results, the reason for moving in of elderly-people welfare facilities is arranged, and also the subject of the location situation of the institution seen from the consciousness for moving in is considered.

    The present state of an existing building is the overriding parameter for establishing renovation guidelines. However, the plans or construction drawings required to assess the function and performance of a building are often missing. Other times, these documents are available, but are not updated with renovations or repair work. To address these discrepancies, we measured the mechanical room of a building using a 3D scanner, analyzing the effectiveness and usefulness of the information obtained.

  • ACCELERATION OF FINITE ELEMENT COMPUTATION FOR SEISMIC WAVE PROPAGATION USING GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT

    This study investigates the possibility of acceleration of finite element method (FEM) using graphics processing unit (GPU). GPU is a cluster of processors specialized for image processing. In recent years, GPU’s computing power for simple calculation becomes higher than CPU’s. The use of GPU is quite common in finite difference analysis. Application of GPU to FEM, however, is considered difficult from the viewpoint of large amount of memory access. In this study, an attempt is made to introduce GPU computing to FEM in terms of frequency response analysis of two-dimensional wave propagation problem.

    Several new versions of 3DCAD, developed based on the BIM concept (called BIMCAD), have reached the level of practical use. As the digital model is changed automatically at the same time that one of the drawings is changed using BIMCAD, we can take the latest version of the digital model. Architects create designs using BIMCAD and send the file using the digital model in addition to drawings in an asynchronous architectural design communication between distributed sites, ensuring a smooth and seamless process. However, it is not easy for everybody to use BIMCAD, and the use of the digital model in the asynchronous communication requires a navigation technique in 3D virtual space, instead of a technique for understanding what is represented. To improve the asynchronous accessibility to the digital model, we developed a web application for sharing and browsing the digital model.

    2009 West Sumatra Earthquake caused serious damage to mountainous areas. Core Houses were provided for house rebuilding at Padan Pariaman by NGO. It seemed that this core house was inherited from the case of house rebuilding in 2006 Central Java Earthquake. Comparing these two cases, the core house system seems to enhance effectiveness in community rebuilding on the same location. This paper shows the spatial use development and expansion of the core house in various directions at Talam, Lima Koto Timur, Padang Pariaman and shows its usefulness, cost efficiency, appropriateness, impact at devastated area for local people.

    Shonai Earthquake of 1894 was an inland earthquake with magnitude 7.0, and claimed 726 lives and 3858 house collapses in Yamagata prefecture. The authors have been continuing literature surveys on this earthquake and in the previous paper precise damage distributions in Sakata and Matsumine towns were discussed. In this paper, detailed damage distribution for the whole affected area in Shonai Plain is indicated using damage statics rearranged by subdivided sectional unit for each village. Damage distribution is also discussed in relation with subsurface ground conditions.
