Abstract
Land developments and construction of factories or logistic centers should be implemented with the well-considered land use plans by taking account of disaster risks to improve the resilience of the region to mitigate damages. In this paper, the relationship between regional development and land use is discussed from the perspective of flood risk control. Nagara basin in Gifu Prefecture (Gifu, Mino, and Seki cities), where transportation network has been developed to raise the potential for more development, is selected as a case study site. First, changes of industrial structures of the region and its influences on land use were analyzed. Then, possible flood control measures were summarized, and issues from the land use perspective are analyzed.
