洪水シンポジウムのおしらせ

タイのAITから以下のようなシンポジウム案内がきています。桜井由躬雄

We hereby would like to draw your attention to the International Symposium on “Floods in Coastal Cities under Climate Change Conditions” to be held at the Conference Center of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Pathumthani, Thailand during 23-25 June 2005, which is organized by AIT and sponsored by the Asia Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN).


The main objectives of the symposium are to bring together researchers, academicians, practitioners and decision makers to discuss about impact of floods in coastal cities under climate change scenarios, to identify gaps in existing disaster mitigation policies and establish guidelines and strategies for improved policies for flood risk management in coastal cities under climate change, and to increase public awareness about risk of sea level rising and coastal flooding.


A workshop is planned for demonstration of several case studies on assessment of socio-economic impacts of floods in coastal cities in South and South-east Asia under climate change conditions, which are carried out under a APN supported project. Any other case studies related to the themes of the symposium are welcome for demonstration.


The important deadlines are as follows.

Full paper submission: 01 June 2005

Registration deadline: 10 June 2005

Detailed information about the symposium is available in the brochure attached herewith and at the symposium website at http://www.sce.ait.ac.th/rnus/apn/. Interested persons are invited to submit a full length paper or case study of maximum 6 pages. The template for preparation of manuscript is available at the symposium webpage.


We are looking forward to seeing you at the symposium at AIT, Thailand. Kindly forward this information to your colleagues who might be interested to participate.
