Syiemlieh, The characteristics of active rainfall spells (ARSs) at Cherrapunji, northeast India, where extreme high rainfall is experienced, and their relationships with large-scale dynamics were studied using daily rainfall data from 1902 to 2005 and Japanese 55-Year Reanalysis from 1958 to 2005. Extreme high daily rainfalls occur in association with ARSs. The extremely large amounts of rainfall in the monsoon season are determined by the cumulative rainfall during ARSs. ARSs start when anomalous anticyclonic circulation (AAC) at 850 hPa propagates westward from the South China Sea and western North Pacific, and covers the northern Bay of Bengal. The AAC propagates farther westward and suppresses convection over central India during ARSs at Cherrapunji, and continues for 3 to 14 days. Consequently, a northward shift of the monsoon trough during the "break'' in the Indian core region occurs. The westerly wind, which prevails in the northern portion of the AAC, transports moisture toward northeast India and enhances moisture convergence over northeast India with southerly moisture transport from the Bay of Bengal, and greatly intensifies the orographic rainfall. In the upper troposphere, the Tibetan high tends to extend southward with the onset of ARSs. A linear relationship can be seen between the length and total rainfall of an ARS. Longer ARSs tend to result in greater total rainfall. AACs with a greater zonal scale tend to produce longer and more intense ARSs. This study provides evidence for the effect of western North Pacific AACs on the Indian summer monsoon., Oct. 2017, 30, 20, 8237, 8251, Scientific journal, 10.1175/JCLI-D-16-0435.1

  • Refereed, Journal of Contemporary India Studies: Space and Society, Hiroshima University, Livelihood and Land-Use Pattern of Immigrant Muslim Communities in the Brahmaputra Floodplain in Assam : A Comparative Study of Immigrant and Indigenous Communities, Haruhisa Asada, Assam is one among the states with the highest Muslim population in India. According to the Population Census 2011, Muslims recorded 34% of the total population in the state, with a 3% increase in the last decade. The increasing Muslim population in the last several decades is mainly due to the immigration from East Pakistan and Bangladesh, which induced several conflicts regarding land resources with the local indigenous Hindu communities. Although the conflicts between the immigrant Muslims and indigenous Hindus are often reported in the media and argued in sociological studies, fieldwork-based studies on the livelihood of the immigrant communities in the locality are scarce. This study tries to reveal the differences in the agricultural practices and land-use patterns of immigrant and indigenous communities in the Brahmaputra floodplain and examines the sustainability of the multi-ethnic society of Assam. In Nagaon district of central Assam, it was found that the residential areas of immigrant and indigenous communities were clearly demarcated based on the ecological environment. Immigrant communities built their villages by the riverbank plain of the Brahmaputra, a region where river water inundates seasonally, while the indigenous community lives mostly by the central plain near towns. To adapt to excessive water and flooding, the immigrant people have developed intensive fish farming in the rainy season and Boro rice cultivation in the dry season by modifying the original flat topography and introducing artificial groundwater irrigation. Their adaptation techniques to the existing environment are entirely different from those of indigenous villages, and they are able to generate higher productivity per unit of land. These techniques resulted in considerable differences in the livelihood and income of both communities. However, economic linkages have also been found from the field observations suggesting weak ties between the communities., Mar. 2017, 7, 1, 18, 10.15027/43722

  • Refereed, Journal of Contemporary India Studies: Space and Society, Hiroshima University, Ecological Environment and Multi-ethnic Society in Northeast India : A Case Study in the Brahmaputra Valley in Assam, Haruhisa Asada, Northeast India surrounded by Bangladesh, Bhutan, China and Myanmar is the place of multi-ethnic society. In the plain area of the Brahmaputra valley in Assam, mixing of different ethnic groups founded the basis of present society and culture, but also often caused the conflict and social disorder. This study aims to discuss how these people have traditionally coexisted in the Brahmaputra valley from the viewpoint of ecological environment. The study area is Lakhimpur district in eastern Assam where many ethnic groups like Ahom, Mishing, Kachari, Khamti, and Bengali live in. Both primary and secondary data were collected to investigate the village location, village structure and livelihood pattern by ethnic groups. From the GIS analysis, it was found that people in the study area lived in different ecological zone by ethnic groups. Each group has the unique livelihood pattern based on local ecosystem. For instance, the Ahom living in plain zone and the Mishing and Chutiya living in river island zone grow different crops in the different season of a year. They can interact with each other by exchanging their livestock and labor services. The fluctuation of micro environment of the Brahmaputra floodplain may enable the coexistence of the different ethnic groups., Mar. 2014, 4, 29, 40, 10.15027/41514

  • Refereed, Japanese Journal of Human Geography, The Human Geographical Society of Japan, Rice-based Cropping Systems of the Ahom: A Village Study in Assam, India, Asada Haruhisa,

    This is a report on the present status of rice-based cropping systems of the Ahom people living in Assam. Entry of outsiders to northeast India including Assam is restricted due to the unstable political situation over a period of many years, and few reports on this region are available. Little is known regarding the methods of rice cultivation used by the Ahom which have provided a foundation for the culture and society of present day Assam.

    An intensive survey was carried out in an Ahom village with questions focusing on landholding patterns, cropping technologies, and rice variety usage to identify the characteristics of rice-based cropping systems of the Ahom in comparison with other regions.

    The Ahom have adopted a rice cropping technology of bullock-ploughed land preparation, dry field broadcasting, mixed cultivation, weeding and thrashing using bullocks which are all typical features of the Indian type of rice cropping technology, especially for Ahu and Bao rice cultivation. They have developed rice cultivation methods that are well suited to the physical environment of the rice fields, and also technologies to minimize the environmental hazards through risk dispersion. These environmental adaptive technologies are also observed in other regions where Indian type rice cropping technology is influential to a large extent, e. g. the Bengal delta region, and delta areas and central plains of mainland Southeast Asia.

    A prominent feature of the rice-based cropping systems of the Ahom is that they are still using traditional technologies. While rice cropping technologies in other regions are drastically changing since the green revolution, Ahom farmers have not adopted modern rice cropping technology but they prefer to use traditional technologies. It is necessary to consider the reason why traditional technologies remain here by examining the individual technologies from the viewpoint of farming management.

    There are many tribes and minority groups with unique cultures in different part of Assam. However, their existing cropping systems have not been extensively investigated. It is hoped that there will be more case studies of these groups through intensive field surveys.

  • Refereed, CLIMATE RESEARCH, INTER-RESEARCH, Effects of rainfall variation on rice production in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin, Haruhisa Asada; Jun Matsumoto, Rice production in India is highly correlated with monsoon rainfall. The relationships between rainfall variation and rice production have attracted significant interest at a country scale in Asia, but regional differences within a country remain unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of rainfall variation on 'kharif' rice (rainy season rice)-including temporal changes in this relationship-in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin, using a statistical model and a district-level data series of rice production and rainfall. Three homogeneous regions were identified within the study area. In the upper Ganges, the drought effect on rice production was dominant; however it became less pronounced due to decreased rainfall variation. In the lower Ganges, the flood effect increased due to increased rainfall. In the Brahmaputra Basin, the drought effect increased due to increased rainfall variation. Non-stationarity in the rainfall-rice production relationship was caused mainly by changes in rainfall patterns; however the impact of other factors, including social factors, should be evaluated on a regional scale., May 2009, 38, 3, 249, 260, Scientific journal, 10.3354/cr00785

  • Refereed, NATURAL HAZARDS, SPRINGER, Relationship between atmospheric conditions at Dhaka, Bangladesh, and rainfall at Cherrapunjee, India, Fumie Murata; Toru Terao; Taiichi Hayashi; Haruhisa Asada; Jun Matsumoto, To improve flood forecasting, the understanding of the atmospheric conditions associated with severe rainfall is crucial. We analysed the atmospheric conditions at Dhaka, Bangladesh, using upper-air soundings. We then compared these conditions with daily rainfall variations at Cherrapunjee, India, which is a main source of floodwater to Bangladesh, and a representative sample of exceptionally heavy rainfall events. The analysis focussed on June and July 2004. June and July are the heaviest rainfall months of the year at Cherrapunjee. July 2004 had the fourth-heaviest monthly rainfall of the past 31 years, and severe floods occurred in Bangladesh. Active rainfall periods at Cherrapunjee corresponded to "breaks" in the Indian monsoon. The monsoon trough was located over the Himalayan foothills, and strong westerly winds dominated up to 7 km at Dhaka. Near-surface wind below 1 km had southerly components, and the wind profile had an Ekman spiral structure. The results suggest that rainfall at Cherrapunjee strongly depends on the near-surface wind speed and wind direction at Dhaka. Lifting of the near-surface southerly airflow by the Meghalaya Plateau is considered to be the main contributor to severe rainfall at Cherrapunjee. High convective available potential energy (CAPE) also contributes to intense rainfall., Mar. 2008, 44, 3, 399, 410, Scientific journal, 10.1007/s11069-007-9125-2

Geogr., Tokyo Geographical Society, Relationship between Distribution of Residential Areas and Topographic Factors in the Sagarmatha Zone, Eastern Nepal, ASADA Haruhisa; MATSUMOTO Jun; LIN Zhou; OGUCHI Takashi, Nepal is a mountainous country located between India and China, and has a large elevation difference in a north-south direction. The elevation difference accounts for physical and social diversities in the country. This study examines the relationship between topographic factors and distribution of residential areas in the Sagarmatha zone of eastern Nepal using information derived from topographical maps including a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM). Residential areas in the study area are distributed from 400 to 5,200 m in altitude. More than 80% of them are concentrated from 1,000 to 2,500 m, and 2% are located above 3,000 m. Residential areas below 3,500 m tend to occur on relatively steep ridges, and those below 2,500 m tend to occur on north-facing slopes. Residential areas above 3,500 m tend to occur on relatively gentle valley sides and south-facing slopes. These differences in the residential environment by elevation are attributed to differences in topographic and climatic condition. This study suggests that GIS technology and digital data can provide basic information at a macro scale to solve regional problems in Nepal., 2008, 117, 2, 561, 567, Scientific journal, 10.5026/jgeography.117.561

Cherapunjee and Mawsynram are well known as two of the places with the heaviest rainfall in the world. The daily rainfall variation is attributed to the influence of synoptic scale disturbances, with a periodicity of 10-20 days, and the orographic interaction. The annual and monthly highest rainfalls over Cherapunjee during the 31 years from 1973 to 2003 were much larger than mean values., Aug. 2007, 42, 2, 391, 399, Scientific journal, 10.1007/s11069-006-9084-z

  • Refereed, Geographical Review of Japan, Association of Japanese Geographers, Impact of recent severe floods on rice production in Bangladesh, Haruhisa Asada; Jun Matsumoto; Rezaur Rahman, The long-term variations of rice production in Bangladesh are examined in the latter half of the 20th century and the impact of recent severe floods is discussed. Unprecedented severe floods, which submerged nearly two thirds of the country, occurred recently in Bangladesh in 1988 and 1998, and the effects of these severe floods to rice cropping are revealed. In these severe flood years, the rainy season crop aman drastically declined in production due to the decrease of the cultivated area and yield. On the other hand, the dry season crop boro, which is planted after the flood withdrawal, increased its production much higher than that of the previous year, mainly because of utilization of the residual flood water. In terms of total annual rice production, it turns out that severe floods have even a positive effect on rice production in Bangladesh. Furthermore, rice production after these severe flood years is higher than that of the previous years, suggesting that severe floods may act as a trigger for increasing rice production level through the change of the hydrological environment and farmers' reaction to it., 2005, 78, 12, 783, 793, Scientific journal, 10.4157/grj.78.783

    バングラデシュでは、従来TBAによる自宅分娩が中心であったが、MDG5の目標である妊産婦死亡率の低下のために、施設分娩への移行とskilled birth attendant(SBA)による介助がめざされた。施設分娩を促すためには、女性たちに現金を配布する政策（demand side financing)や助産師やFWV（Family Welfare Visitor)の養成が行われた。
    また、女性の側への調査としては、マダリプル県ラジョール村を対象地域として、村の女性たち、公立病院の医師、私立病院の医師、TBA、FWV、助産師への聞き取りを行った。それによると、女性たちの多くは自宅でTBAによる介助を希望しているにもかかわらず、結果的に病院で出産することになり、その多くが帝王切開になっていた。その理由として、私立病院が患者を集めるためにブローカーを雇い、妊産婦と接触するTBAやFWV,公立病院の医師に働きかけていることがわかった。TBAは、産婦を私立病院に送ることで、自宅で取り上げるのとほぼ同じ金額を病院からもらっていた。その結果、帝王切開率が急上昇し、女性たちの産後の回復が遅れ、女性の健康が損なわれる結果となっていた。施設分娩が妊産婦死亡率を下げるとは必ずしも証明されていないにもかかわらず、バングラデシュにおいては施設分娩が強力に進められた結果、帝王切開率が増え、女性の健康にとってはマイナスの結果が生じている。
    また、新型コロナ感染症が異なる文化に与える影響についてシンポジウムを開いた。, kaken

  • Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, 01 Apr. 2018 - 31 Mar. 2021, 18K18254, インド北東部多民族社会の日常が有する言説化したグローバル問題に対するレジリエンス, 浅田 晴久, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Nara Women's University, 4160000, 3200000, 960000, 初年度にあたる平成30年度は、インド北東部の多民族社会の日常に関する事例を複数の地域において収集することから研究を開始した。具体的には8月と3月にインドのアッサム州とマニプール州を2回ずつ訪問して現地調査を行った。
    アッサム州では、定点観測を続けているグワハティ近郊の村落において、住民に対して生業活動と日常行動に関するセンサス調査を8月から実施した。3月に回答紙を回収し、パソコンへの入力作業を行っているところである。分析によってカースト階層・経済階層による生業活動および日常行動の差異を明らかにする予定である。また、アッサム＝ブータン国境地域の生業活動についても予備調査を行った。ここは山麓の粗粒土壌が卓越する地域で地表水が得にくいため、河川から水路を網目状に引いて耕地に灌漑を施している。水路の維持管理に関わる民族間の関係について聞き取り調査を行った。アッサム州内の2地点の比較から、同じ州内でも居住場所の生態環境の違いによって、各民族の日常のあり方が異なることが示唆される。
    マニプール州では、ロクタク湖を訪問した他、地域住民の生業と政府による開発に関する資料を収集した。その結果、州政府主導で進められたダム開発によって、湖周辺に住む住民の生活が影響を受けていることが分かった。また、インド・ミャンマー国境地域を訪問し、国境をまたぐ交易活動が住民の生活にどの程度の影響を与えているかという視点から観察を行った。ミャンマー側からインド側へ多数の商品が流入しているものの、現時点では住民の生活を大きく変容させるには至っていないと判断した。マニプール州の調査はまだ予備的段階であるが、国境地域では域外からの影響がアッサム州とは異なった形でみられるため、地域比較の意味で来年度以降も現地調査を継続していく予定である。

We examined PCR amplification conditions for chloroplast genome analysis using modern conifers as test samples. Although we could obtain primers suitable for analysis of phylogenetic comparison evolution above the genus level, we could not find the amplification condition suitable for species identification from total DNA samples. Further examination of amplification conditions is necessary for the DNA analysis of pollen fossils, which are anticipated to decrease and fragment the DNA content itself due to aging. Since differences in oxygen isotope ratio analysis results by different methods were recognized for phytoliths extracted from modern plants, it is necessary to establish a routine way to measure the oxygen isotope ratio of phytoliths with standard samples., kaken

Questions such as household members’ age, marriage status, property ownership, microcredit, reproductive experiences, time use and geographical movement for both men and women were asked. Results show that Bangladeshi villages are undergoing extensive changes due mainly to remittance from overseas work. Medical facilities such as private clinics are increasing each year bringing about medicalization of pregnancy and birth in both villages. In order to improve women’s reproductive health, it is important that women should know their own bodies as well as increase knowledge on reproduction. NGO will be able to support women by giving more information and knowledge on their own reproductive bodies., kaken

From questionnaire survey and hearing survey, it is revealed that socio-economic status of ethnic groups in Assam is significantly different and the importance of agricultural development is also different among ethnic groups. Especially, in the village of indigenous non-tribal Hindu groups called Axamiya which population dominates in the state, interest in agriculture become lower recently which leads farm abandonment and changing agricultural land use. The inter-ethnic relationship is one of the key factor for sustainability of agriculture in Assam., kaken_url

Some countries do not have a stand-alone geography subject at the secondary level and stand-alone subjects of geography in many countries are not usually compulsory but elective at the higher secondary level (grade 11 - 12).
    The characteristics in contents of geography education at the secondary level in the Asian countries are emphasizing of physical part of geography. In physical geography, terms of landform and climate are so much dealt but terms of soils and vegetation are not so much done in those countries without Singapore and Bhutan. In human geography the relationship between the phenomenon and own place (own country) are regarded as important., kaken_url

  • Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows, 2011 - 2013, 11J00348, 地域防災力の向上に向けた民族知の評価に関する研究―インド・アッサム州の事例から―, 浅田 晴久, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows, 2400000, 2400000, 3年目の2013年度は、当初4月から5月にかけて予定していたインド・アッサム州における現地調査が、特別研究員の辞退に伴い困難になったため、まずは前年度までに得られた成果をまとめて論文として発表した。論文では、アッサム州のブラマプトラ川渓谷では民族毎に異なる生態環境に応じたゆるやかな棲み分けが見られ、生業活動の差異を利用した民族間の交流が見られることを報告した。同内容は国際地理学連合京都地域会議の場でも報告した。調査地であるアッサム州東部のロキンプル県では、かつては洪水が発生した後によその民族の村落へ農業労働に赴き賃金と飯米を確保したという慣行も判明し、地域防災力を考える上で貴重な知見となった。
    8月には約1週間インド・アッサム州で現地調査を行った。今回は州中部のナガオン県を対象として、ブラマプトラ川沿岸の氾濫原地帯に居住するムスリム系住民の村落を複数訪問した。聞き取り調査の結果、ムスリム系住民の村落では雨季のジュート栽培と養殖漁業、乾季の稲作と野菜栽培というローカルな生態環境に根ざした生業活動が行われていることが明らかになった。本地域でもムスリム系住民と他の住民とでは生態環境に応じて居住村落の立地が分かれており、民族によって生態環境に適応するために有している技術が異なっている事実が裏付けられた。今後さらに各民族が有する在来技術の調査を進め、民族毎にまとめて比較することで、防災にも応用できるデータベースを作成することが可能であると考える。, kaken

  • Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows, 2007 - 2008, 07J03293, インド・アッサム州における持続的な農村開発-洪水と住民の関係を通して-, 浅田 晴久, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows, Kyoto University, 1000000, 1000000, 平成20年度はまず、前年度(平成20年1月)から継続しているインド・アッサム州でのフィールドワークを7月まで実施した。家族構成・土地所有・農業・家畜などに関する質問票を用いた全戸調査を完了した。携帯型GPSとGISソフトウェアを用いて調査村の土地利用図・水田所有図を作成した。調査結果については現地のカウンターパートであるゴウハティ大学地理学科のバガバティ教授と議論した。
    7月から11月までは国内で、これまでのフィールドワークの成果をまとめることに専念した。浅田ほか(2008)はヒマラヤ地域における住民と自然環境との関係について2次データを用いて考察したものである。Murata et al.(2008)では世界最多雨地の1つであるインド東北部のチェランプンジの降雨特性とその要因を気象学的手法を用いて明らかにした。浅田(2009)はフィールドワークの経験を基に、アッサム調査村の言葉、食習慣、生業、社会慣習などをまとめたもので、タイ系のアホムの人々の独自の文化も未だ根付いていることが分かった。Asada&Matsumoto(2009)ではガンジス・ブラマプトラ川流域を対象として、過去40年間の降雨と稲作の関係性を考察した
    12月から3月まで再び調査村に滞在しフィールドワークを実施した。2008年度の稲作・乾季作の状況、家計調査、水文環境の変化などの関する聞き取り調査を行った。2次データに関しては農業局・治水局・統計局などから各種統計データを入手した。これらのデータから、近年の急激な環境変化により調査村では稲作の収量の低下・作付時期の変化など影響が表れているが、村人の側からは有効な対応策が取られておらず、伝統的な稲作が危機にさらされていることが明らかになった。, kaken
