Current situation of the central Fukui shopping center and the urban planning
No full textThis is a study of the current situation of central Fukui city, focusing on its economic situation and the urban planning. The Data has been drawn from a questionnaire distributed to shops belonging to five of the business promoting organizations, and from interviews with Darumaya-Seibu department store. On the economic aspect, we found that: (1) the central Fukui shopping center is relatively depressive, contrasting to the suburban commercial districts, (2) among the shops, there is an unequal economic development, and (3) a great number of shops agree to the enlargement of Darumaya-Seibu department store, but a few smaller shops are starting to feel differently. On the urban planning, especially concerning the issue of urban transport and population distribution, we found that: (1) many of shops expect the development of a community bus system, but they also want to increase parking lots, and (2) according to a census, the population of central Fukui city, while getting smaller, is also getting older. Despite many limitations of our analysis, we can foresee two possibilities for the future of central Fukui city. One would be to become a highly-developed managerial and business center. The other would be to reestablish itself as a community.departmental bulletin pape
Optimal Maintenance Strategy for Bridges in Fukui Prefecture using the Data of the First Round Inspection
No full textThe author presented the deterioration transfer curves of bridge member elements in Fukui prefecture by using the data of the first round inspection. In this study, the most economical repair plan is determined by modifying the bridge management system (BMS) developed in earlier work to be able to apply it to the new deterioration transfer curves for all bridges in Fukui Prefecture. The accuracy and effectiveness of the BMS are demonstrated in the numerical example. The useful maintenance repair plans and maintenance expenses for all bridges are also presented for the next seventy-five years.departmental bulletin pape
Examination on the ground model in the southern part of Fukui Plain using H/V spectrum method
No full textThe author examined the ground model proposed hy Fukui Prefecture through microtremor observation using H/V spectrum method. In this study the southern part of Fukui Plain is focused because of the presence of earthquake observation point FKI003 of K-NET. That is the only one point in the plain in the observation system. The microtremor observation was conducted along the cross lines through the point of FKI003 every 500m distance. Peak frequencies obtained from H/V spectra were related to the depth of alluvial and diluvial layer surface. They were compared with ones calculated by SHAKE based on the prefecture model. Overall they were in good agreement, but several points had some discrepancies between them. It is necessary that soil profiles of the latter points should be re-examined by more accurate methods such as microtremor array survey

Fukui foldable traps versus fyke nets as options for fishing European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) in soft-bottom habitats: Exploring efficiency and limiting bycatch
No full textThe European green crab (Carcinus maenas) continues to expand in Atlantic Canada and other coastal regions worldwide. Since most control measures for this species have failed, there is a need for innovative and ecologically responsible mitigation measures. One such measure is a green crab control harvesting wherein affected fishers could recoup some of their losses through value-added products. As with any new control initiative, gear choice must be carefully considered. This study assessed catch efficiency and bycatch of two common gear: Fukui foldable traps and fyke nets. Both types of gear were systematically compared in two soft-bottom areas with abundant green crab populations over the course of a field season (early May–late September). In this study, fyke nets were more efficient, catching roughly three times the number of green crabs caught by individual Fukui foldable traps. However, fyke nets also caught nearly ten times more bycatch and doubled the number of native species caught. Fyke net bycatch also included proportionally higher numbers of endangered and commercially important species, such as American eel (Anguilla rostrata) and winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus). Although in principle Fukui foldable traps seem better suited for green crab control because of lesser bycatch impacts, further studies should find ways to increase Fukui foldable trap efficiency or test fyke nets with bycatch reduction devices
Differing Perceptions by Insider and Outsiders of the Fukui Dialect: An evaluative survey of students’ language regard for Fukui dialect, Kansai dialect, and kyōtsūgo at a Japanese national university
No full text著者は、福井県北部にある日本の国立大学に在籍する日本人学生74名を対象に、共通語（東京エリアの言語）、関西方言（大阪/京都/神戸エリアの言語）、および福井方言（一般に嶺北と呼ばれる福井県北部地域の言語）の方言意識に関する調査を実施した。 3 つの方言に対する意識を比較するため、インフォーマントを福井方言母語話者とそうではない日本語母語話者の 2 つのグループに分けて分析した。著者は、クローズドクエスチョンに基づくリッカート尺度を用いたオンライン調査により、複数の評価語（例えば、美しい、汚い、正しいなど）を使用し、インフォーマントの各方言に対する意識を調査した。評価語は阿部（2006）、沖（1999）、井上（1988）の研究に少し修正を加え、それはさらに情的イメージプラス、情的イメージマイナス、知的イメージプラス、知的イメージマイナスの 4つのタイプに分けられる。各評価語に対する肯定的回答と否定的回答の割合の評価によると、共通語と関西方言に対する 2 つのインフォーマントグループ間の意識には全体としてほとんど違いがなかった。全インフォーマントの回答からは、共通語は全体的に情的と知的なイメージはプラス、関西方言も情的と知的なイメージはプラスであるが、共通語ほどではないということが分かった。福井方言の場合、福井方言母語話者は福井方言を知的にプラスと見なす一方、福井方言非母語話者のインフォーマントは、福井方言を知的にマイナスと見なす。この差が、多くの福井方言母語話者が「方言コンプレックス」を持つ要因の一つかもしれない。また、この結果は、日本語教育において地方に住む日本語学習者に対するその地域の方言指導の必要性も示唆している。
The author conducted a language regard survey towards on 74 Japanese students at a national Japanese university located in northern Fukui Prefecture focusing on the perceptions of kyōtsūgo (the language of the Tokyo area), the Kansai dialect (the language of the Osaka/ Kyoto/Kobe area), and the Fukui dialect (the language of the northern Fukui area, commonly referred to as Reihoku). The informants were split and analyzed in two groups: Reihoku Japanese native speakers and non-Reihoku Japanese speakers to compare the different perceptions among two groups towards the three dialects. The author used an online survey with Likert-scale based on closed questions to measure informants’ perceptions of multiple evaluative terms towards each dialect (ex. beautiful, dirty, correct, etc.). These evaluative terms are further divided into four types: emotion-plus, emotion-minus, intellect-plus, and intellectminus modified from research conducted by Abe (2006), Oki (1999), and Inoue (1988). Results in which assessment of percentages of positive and negative answers for each evaluative term towards a dialect by informants show little difference in language regard between the two informant groups for kyōtsūgo and Kansai dialect; all informants view kyōtsūgo as overall emotion- and intellect- plus, with Kansai dialect more in the middle of the spectrum. For Fukui dialect, non-Reihoku Japanese language speakers perceive the Fukui dialect as intellect-minus compared to native speakers of the dialect who view it as intellect-plus. This disparity may be a factor towards the dialect complex many Fukui dialect speakers have. This same disparity also suggests a need for dialect instruction for Japanese language learners in regional areas of Japan.departmental bulletin pape
Examination Results of Water Quality and Dissolved Minor Elements of Three Rivers in Northern Part of Fukui Prefecture
No full textThe water of three rivers, Hino, Asuwa and Kuzuryu, located in northern part of Fukui Prefecture was examined for pH, electric conductivity, DO and the concentration of soluble minor elements. Data were obtained at the sites from upper to lower part of each river including main tributaries. The examination was held twelve times in six years for Hino, four times for Asuwa and three times for Kuzuryu River. The results obtained were compared and discussed in order to specify the characteristics of each river.departmental bulletin pape
