CONCEPT
The increasing demand for food, water energy, land and mobility are causing huge
impact on the environment and the Asian region is not immune to this trend. Higher
education and R&D are the only tools for the creation, dissemination and application of
knowledge that will eventually lead us into a sustainable Asia. While societies have
different challenges to overcome, the implementation of an effective framework for
knowledge dissemination is the first step in this journey. In this regard The University of
Tsukuba launched the Sustainability Science, Technology and Policy (SUSTEP)
Initiative that will introduce an integral and innovative education system to promote
human resource development in Asia. In the First and second International Conferences
organized by SUSTEP we set the foundations to promote collaborative education and
research networking between Asian Universities. In the Third Meeting we will discuss
the implementation mechanisms of the students and faculty mobility as well as credit
transfer and accreditation initiatives among partner universities.

Coastal Hazard Mitigation: Reconstruction of Sand Dunes and Proper
Setback Zoning
Tsung-Yi Lin
Department of Geography, Taiwan Normal University
Abstract
In response to coastal erosion, engineering structures such as seawalls, groins, detached
breakwaters are usually used in Taiwan to protect the shoreline and prevent the life and
property loss in an hazardous typhoon event. However, the protection measures are
showing their insufficiency in combating the strong waves and storm surges. And even
worse, the concrete structures are always having the negative effects on beach
preservation. Beaches in front of the seawall, on the downdrift side of a groin or a series
of detached breakwater are disappeared soon after the completion of the structure
construction, thus lose the natural buffer ability of sandy beach.
Other than the beach, the sand dune is also acting as a natural barrier between the sea
and the land. Shore-parallel foredunes can be a solution to avoid the negative effects on
the ecological and aesthetic values of the coast by those engineering structures.
Unfortunately, most of the coastal dunes in Taiwan are under degradation by either the
natural or anthropogenic pressures. A study in I-lan shows that coastal sand dunes had
been eroded to form scarps or been overwashed to reduce the height in extreme wave
events. Dunes had been also removed artificially for the construction of new roads or
industrial parks, or been reclaimed as fish or duck breeding ponds. Reinforcement or
reconstruction of those sand dunes with artificial planting or seeding might help sand
accumulation and thus enhance their natural function on coastal defense. Combined
with the proper buffer or setback zoning that limited the developments or investments in
the hazard-prone area will be one huge step toward the environmental sustainability, and
will also greatly reduce the loss of people’s lives and properties in the future.
KEYWORDS: coast, hazard mitigation, dune degradation, dune reconstruction, setback
zone.
Research Activities in Wastewater Treatment and Waste Conversion
in Year 2013
Zhongfang LEI
Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba
Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba
ABSTRACT
A brief introduction to the Laboratory
of Bioresource Process Engineering is
given in this speech along with the major
research activities and contribution to
wastewater treatment and waste
conversion in Year 2013.
There are five research topics in the
Lab: (1) Adsorbents development mainly
for the removal of heavy metals,
ammonia, phosphate, and radioactive
cesium from water and wastewater; (2) Enhanced biogas production from organic solid wastes
including sewage sludge, animal manure, and crop residue; (3) Nitrogen removal by
combination of biogranular sludge with electrochemical method; (4) Heavy metals
immobilization and waste reclamation by using hydrothermal treatment; and (5) Functional
materials production through solid-state fermentation by using solid wastes from food
processing industries.
Specific attention is paid to the combination of biogranular sludge process with
electrochemical method and heavy metals immobilization in sewage sludge by hydrothermal
treatment. They are also the newest research topics in the Lab in 2013.
Low direct current (DC) field (< 5V) was found to be able to significantly stimulate the
biomass growth of aerobic granules. The formed granules exhibited high stability in granular
structure and bioactivity, and little nitrite accumulation was detected when treating wastewater
with low C/N ratios (COD/NH4-N~1.2). The combination of aerobic granular sludge with
electrochemical method is believed to be a potential technology for high strength ammonia
wastewater treatment.
Hydrothermal treatment, an environmental friendly process, was applied for volume
reduction, risk reduction, and reclamation of sewage sludge. Heavy metals (HMs) including Cr,
April 2013, Tsukuba
Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb were tested and observed to be immobilized in the sludge matrix after
hydrothermal treatment under 170-280℃. Results showed that HMs in the treated sludge were
greatly transformed from weakly bound and relatively stable fractions into stable state, resulting
in large decrease in the eco-toxicity risk of HMs after hydrothermal treatment. The trials are still
on-going with respect to the feasibility of the sludge residue or obtained hydrochar for soil
application.

ABSTRACT
Papandayan is a volcano, located at Garut West Java with an altitude of 2,665 meters
above sea level managed by the BKSDA (Indonesian Ministry of Forestry) as a nature
reserve. These areas include climate type A-B (wet) with annual rainfall ranging
between 2550-3500 mm/yr.
Forest areas in Papandayan Mountain have experienced various types of disturbances
both natural and anthropogenic. These types of the disorder are very high intensity than
the 2002 eruption was among other anthropogenic disturbances such as land clearing for
gardening and forest fires. Papadayan is one of volcano which has a lot of disturbance
in West Java. This mount has four types of disturbed area as follow: gap/hiatus in
primary & secondary forest; secondary forest after encroachment/bush fallow
dominated by Chromolaena odorata; burnt areas in 2008 and dead forest which was
impected by volcanic ashes after 2003 erruption.
This study aims to determine the form of changes in tree species richness experienced
forest ecosystems due to various types of disturbances. Samples of areas that were
observed in this study are areas that have experienced disturbances are divided into 3
classes: lightweight (former gap / hiatus), moderate (former encroachment which has
been abandoned since 2007) and heavy (burnt in 2008), as well as forest undisturbed as
controls. Vegetation analysis was conducted to obtain current data, using a single
sampling plots purposively placed in areas that have been set.
The results showed that in undisturbed primary forest ecosystems found as many as 12
species of trees with the highest levels of species diversity (H '= 2.32/good or stable), it
is very different from the former forest encroachment and fires are likely to experience
changes drastically (number of species = 6-7; H '= 1.47-1.61), indicating the ecosystem
are in less stable condition. In the primary forest with lightweight disturbance class
(gap) is not likely to change the composition and diversity of species (H'2 .22-2.27/).
The conclusion of this research are disturbance intensity scale gives a major influence
on the changes in community structure and species richness. The implications of this
research is necessary to develop a strategy of forest ecosystem restoration initiatives to
accelerate the ongoing succession process by considering the type of disturbance and
the composition of species present. Litsea cubeba, Paraserianthes lophanta,
Homalanthus populneus and Schima wallicii are available and suitable as sellected
species for Papandayan Mountain ecosystem restoration. Further research is needed to
understand about edaphic & chlimatic characteristics and its relation to the dynamic of
tree plant communities

ABSTRACT
In the world, mainly Indonesia, the need of energy tends to rise up base on the
increasing of economic development and population. In the other side, fossil energy
supply decreased, meanwhile alternative energy resources (renewable energy resources)
are not developed yet. Therefore, recently and in the future, energy diversification
(including bioenergy) shall be the first priority to be done in order to guarantee energy
safety. One of tree species’ having the high potential value for alternative energy
resources is bintaro (Cerbera manghas) in which naturally growing in landward
mangrove ecosystem. One of the aspects have to be done in supporting the bintaro
sustainable utilization as alternative energy resources is the high quality seedling
production. Thus, this research was aimed to consider the effect of submersion and fruit
treatment to seed germination and initial growth of bintaro seedling. Our obtained
results that peeled fruit skin-seed showed the better germination performance compared
to unpeeled fruit skin-seed and naked-seed (extracted-seed). The bintaro peeled fruit
skin-seed germination performance was germination capability 100%, rate of seed
growth 1.18%/etmal, and seed germination value 0.51%/day. As for both peeled and
unpeeled fruit skin-seed resulted in the better initial seedling growth than that of naked-
seed. Those performance of initial seedling growth for two former treatments was
ranged from 7.11-8.33 cm/week for height increment, 1.26-1.48 mm/week for stem
diameter increment, and 2.3-2.6 leafs/week for leaf number increment. Seed submersion
for 4 days by both water and coconut water resulted in the similar performance of both
germination and initial growth of seedlings. Base on this research, it seems that bintaro
peeled fruin skin-seed, for both 4 days-submersion by water and coconut water showed
the better performance of seed germination and initial seedling growth.
Keywords: Bintaro (Cerbera manghas), initial seedling growth, seed germination.

ABSTRACT
Cu Lao Dung is the biggest island of Soc Trang province. It is surrounded by the Hau
River and East Sea. Due to such terrestrial geology, Cu Lao Dung is the most
potentially affected by natural disasters caused by climate change and rising of sea
levels such as tropical cyclones, storm surges, floods, tornadoes, salinity, sedimentation,
erosion, exhausted soil, etc. Those disasters have remarkably impacted on the local
society and economy of Cu Lao Dung. According to Climate Change Scenarios for
Vietnam 2012, there is more than 95% of Cu Lao Dung area will be flooded due to the
rising of sea levels in 2050. The climate change modeling and analogies with past
conditions indicated that climate change will significantly impact on loss of agricultural
lands for instance increasing soil salinity, flooded land, and exhausted soil, etc. The
purpose of this paper is to analyze and assess vulnerability of society in the Cu Lao
Dung in the case of the climate change ongoing. Based on results of this paper,
effectively preparing for and responding to current and projected climate change to
reduce vulnerability will be proposed.

Thanh Xuan – Hanoi – Viet Nam
Abstract
In Viet Nam, wastewater has been used for centuries for irrigation; fishery/fed
aquaculture; rice and vegetable cultivation at small-scale/household scale based on
farmers’ experiences. Health risks associated with widespread use of untreated
wastewater due to: (i) Lack of finance and technology to provide adequate WWT
infrastructure; and (ii) Treated wastewater is less attractive to the Vietnamese farmers as
it may reduce the content of nutrients substantially. That is to say that quality of
products utilizing wastewater is truly of concern.
By using DPSIR method, the article analyses the driving forces and pressures, the status
and impacts of unsafe use of wastewater in agriculture in Viet Nam. It then proposes an
approach on safe use of wastewater in agriculture to contribute to poverty reduction and
sustainable development towards the achievement of millennium development goals in
Viet Nam.
