JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effects of climate change are already being observed in the region. Action to mitigate climate change may be effected by increasing the awareness of the effects of climate change in people.
In this study, a survey of Iida residents in Nagano Prefecture was conducted to determine the level of awareness of the effects of climate change, and the relation between this awareness and steps being taken for climate change mitigation/adaptation. This study also examined the factors that divide the mitigation priority type and the adaptation priority type.
Our results indicate that the residents of Iida are becoming increasingly aware of the effects of climate change for approximately the past ten years, and that this awareness affects not only adaptation behavior directly but also mitigation behavior indirectly. Our results also show that the people who prioritize mitigation do not sufficiently recognize the effects of climate change, and that the people who prioritize adaptation do not sufficiently recognize the causes of climate change.
Based on these results, we could consider implementing educational programs on climate change.View full abstractDownload PDF (1389K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe absolute value of substance should be determined with traceability to International System of Units (SI units). However, it is very difficult to provide and/or obtain the analytical standards with the purity certifications because miscellaneous chemicals are targeted in the environmental assessments. In fact, the most of commercial reagents of standards are labeled relative values on manufacturer’s own approaches without traceability to SI units. This missing traceability causes a problem that quantitative values using chromatography are not robust because of getting only relative value against its analytical standards. In this study, to find a solution to this problem, we targeted determination of the purities of commercial reagents of environmental pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) which are used generally as the analytical standards. 18 kinds of PAH and hydroxyl PAH (OH-PAH) were measured the reliable purity by using AQARI (Accurate quantitative NMR with internal reference substance) method which is a traceable quantitative technique. The purities were distributed from 94.6 ± 1.2 to 101.6 ±0.9 % (arithmetic mean±RSD).View full abstractDownload PDF (1316K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper analyzed the data about the factors on the reduction of construction waste using panel data analysis and instrumental variable method. First, this paper analyzed whether 3 types of the industrial waste taxes introduced by each prefecture have had the effects over the emission limitation and over the reducing the amount of final disposal or not. Second, it analyzed whether the emission limitation resulted from the construction recession in recent years, and in consequence, reducing the amount of final disposal was triggered or not. With regard to the data analysis, using the data of the amount of emission and the amount of final disposal of constructive waste in the Survey on Construction Byproducts, this paper prepared for the panel data of 47 prefectures. In consequence, it was made clear that all kinds of the introduced taxes have had no effect over the emission limitation and have had an effect over the reducing of the amount of final disposal only. In regard to the economic factors, it became obvious that the construction recession in recent years made the emission limitation, and the result triggered the reducing of the amount of final disposal.View full abstractDownload PDF (904K)
