Multi-municipal water governance, with fragmentation and asymmetry among boundaries and institutions caused by water sharing, can give rise to quarrels among governments. Many related cases worldwide suggest integration and bottom-up participation as solutions for fostering multi-municipal collaboration, although existing power imbalances and competing interests continue to motivate conflicts. The research attempts to provide insights on how territorial conflicts can create barriers to multi-municipal integration. The case study considers the headwater of Taipei Metropolis, located in a rural-urban nexus in Taiwan, which is characterised by disconnected territory and authority. Along with democratisation and urbanisation, conflicts in interests between the headwater municipality, New Taipei City, and the capital downstream, Taipei City, have become more significant. By content and discourse analysis using secondary data and semi-structured interviews, the study identifies critical changes leading to the curious status quo and possible reasons for unresolved conflicts. The configuration of a multi-municipal water-sharing region has mediated inner tensions of territorialisation, which have been stimulated by developmental pressures of a growing entity under changing scalar status in the municipal hierarchy. The research indicates that territorial discourses provide legitimacy for municipal interests, while marking a shift from upstream inequity to downstream water sharing. The case study identifies the role of territorial conflicts and stresses the impacts of municipal competition triggered by scale politics, thereby offering an alternative understanding of conflicts in multi-municipal water governance.

This study investigates the recent changes in natural hazard prioritizations in northern Bangladesh and presents community-based risk analyses of the various natural hazards that present threats to sustainable agriculture. The study area in northern Bangladesh included two union council areas under the Panchagarh sub-district. Climatological data analysis, a detailed questionnaire survey, and focus group discussions were conducted to assess farmers’ perceptions regarding the shifting and identification of hazards, their seasonal variation, and hazard prioritizations. The SMUG (seriousness, manageability, urgency, and growth) and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) models were applied for hazard prioritization. Hailstorms were found to be the most prioritized hazard over droughts and flash floods as perceived by the community. The farmers’ perceptions as evaluated through a questionnaire survey also support the findings of the SMUG and FEMA models. This was the first attempt to analyze the potential of hailstorms as a significant hazard in Bangladesh, and GIS maps showed their spatial distribution and temporal frequency across Bangladesh. This newly identified hazard is significantly diminishing farmers’ motivation to continue farming and has the potential to affect sustainable agriculture. The farmers’ perceptions, historical data analysis, use of the two models, institutional approach, hazard risk assessment, and vulnerability to the major sectors show that hailstorms should be considered as an important hazard in northern Bangladesh, and policymakers should pay urgent attention to minimize the threat to sustainable agriculture in northern Bangladesh.

The internet penetration on young villagers gives rise to question about its effects on the social interaction and behavior patterns as it accelerates the interaction with the wider network. However, the internet could possibly decrease both the social interaction with local people at the village and the dependency toward native villagers as internet utilization allows the users to be more selective in terms of interactions according to their interests. This research aims to examine the impacts of the Internet through a dystopian view by comparing the degrees of senses of place, participation in local activities, and social capital among internet and non-internet users using a statistical approach. The analysis of variance and linear regression were employed in the present study. The results revealed that the internet did strengthen both broad and local social capital. It also supported young villager’s participation in local activities. Nevertheless, the internet was observed to decline the villager’s sense of place, especially the desire to remain a resident in the native village. Better access to information and network gained by the users elevated their chances to move outside the village when better opportunities were observed elsewhere.

Rural populations are aging and declining, which has reduced the capacity for rural landscape conservation. Thus, collaborative governance with non-local stakeholders is essential to foster innovative ideas by combining knowledge bases. In the current digital era, remote actors can play a part in rural governance across boundaries through information technology. This study focused on the potential of 3D visualization for rural landscape planning and examined the effects and challenges of using 3D models for collaboration with non-local stakeholders. We conducted a survey with remote participants about a rural village landscape, using 3D models created from drone-shot aerial photos, and then discussed the findings with local stakeholders in a workshop in the village. We found that, by using 3D models, various opinions could be obtained from non-local stakeholders who had never seen the actual landscape. They used the 3D model to view the landscape from various perspectives and it enabled participants to accurately grasp local situations and problems. However, some of the opinions gathered in the survey were unrealistic for actual landscape planning. We conclude that 3D models are a useful tool to incorporate external opinions into rural landscape planning across temporal and spatial boundaries, to maintain healthy rural landscapes.

The ageing and declining populations face not only challenges in maintaining local services and economies, many also have the added physical and logistical burden of being in hilly or mountainous areas in developed nations. There is urgent need for strong rural leaders and key people to take leadership roles and facilitate social networking that bolsters communities. We examined inter-community networks, focusing on a rural region of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. We identified the leaders and key people in the many rural communities in this region, examined these people's characteristics, and comprehensively surveyed them to uncover views on such networks, what limits them, and how they can be enhanced. Among the results, we found a high sense of need ascribed to these networks, yet effective participation was relatively low. To facilitate interaction, communication by means such as in-person meetings and telephone conversation was foremost, but online means such as e-mail and social networking have also proven to be valuable supplements across the distance. We further plotted these communicational means of key individuals and found networks some to be extensive, while others are still limited to the range of geographically close communities.

This research clarified what should be emphasized from actual dispatched staff experience when dispatching staff to the afflicted area by examining agricultural engineering engineers dispatched from Kyoto and Hyogo Prefectures to the afflicted areas of eastern Japan great earthquake disaster. We pointed out that it is important to understand the importance of mental attitudes at the time of dispatch, the necessity of an appropriate setting of the dispatch periods, and the importance and difficulty of succession of the dispatch experiences. We suggested preparations at normal time, that is, 1) confirmations in advance whether staffs can be dispatched to disaster area or not, 2) succession of the dispatch experiences, 3) roles organization between disaster area’s staffs and dispatched ones, and 4) personnel exchange among municipalities.

We investigated the development process of organized farm-inn district, “Shunran-no-Sato” in Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture and examined some problems. In order to clarify the roles of the leader and the system of organized farm-inn district, we divided the whole process (from 1996 to 2017) of the organized farm-inn district into three periods: the starting period, the forming period and the developing period. Based on intensive interviews and participant observation, we found that the roles of the leader were quite important in both the starting period and the forming period. On the other hand, establishing the system of organized farm-inn district become important in the forming period and developing period. In the future, the succession of the role of the leader becomes a most serious problem for this district.

Diversity of regional industry is regarded as a key factor for regional development, as it has a positive relationship with economic stability, which attracts population. This paper focuses on how the spatial imbalance of industrial diversity contributes to the population change caused by inter-regional migration. This paper introduces a spatial interaction model for the Geographic Information System (GIS)-based simulation of the spatial interactions to evaluate the demographic attraction force. The proposed model adopts the notions of gravity, entropy, and virtual work. An industrial classification by profit level is introduced and its diversity is quantified with the entropy of information theory. The introduced model is applied to the cases of 207 regions in South Korea. Spatial interactions are simulated with an optimized model and their resultant forces, the demographic attraction forces, are compared with observed net migration for verification. The results show that the evaluated attraction forces from industrial diversity have a very significant, positive, and moderate relationship with net migration, while other conventional factors of industry, population, economy, and the job market do not. This paper concludes that the geographical quality of industrial diversity has positive and significant effects on population change by migration.

Aggregating measures that capture multiple aspects of water security in a single or small number of indices can act as a powerful tool to identify areas susceptible to water insecurity. Proposed Rural Water Insecurity Index is based on water supply and demand dimensions, and adaptive capacity to assess the ability of communities to cope with prevailing water insecurity. Spatial distribution of water insecurity presents wide variability across the district and demonstrates how factors like surface water supply distribution, groundwater withdrawal, sanitation, irrigation coverage, asset ownership influence water security of a particular rural area at a specific time. The insecurity matrix reveals that the scale of adaptive capacity plays a vital role in shifting the scale of water insecurity by negating the impacts of supply- and demand-driven insecurity. The impacts are found to be severe for the poor who live in vulnerable areas including mountains and forests, are dependent on natural resource-based livelihood and groundwater to meet basic needs, own little land or other physical assets and have low education and skills. The present study offers valuable guidance to the policymakers, providing insights as to where more targeted research or policy interventions can address current water insecurity challenges and reduce future risks.
