2. Congress Content 2.1 Opening Ceremony <Opening Address> Junichi Godo rd

Chairperson, the 3 UCLG ASPAC Congress 2010 Hamamatsu Executive Committee

Ladies and Gentleman, members of the UCLG ASPAC, welcome to Hamamatsu. I would like to also express my deepest appreciation to the invited guests as well as all the participants today. My name is Junichi Godo and I am serving as the executive committee chairperson for this 3rd UCLG ASPAC Congress 2010 Hamamatsu. On behalf of the organizer, I declare the opening of the 3rd UCLG ASPAC Congress 2010 Hamamatsu.

<Greeting from the Organizerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Representation> Dr. Jatin V. Modi Co-President, UCLG ASPAC President, All India Institute of Local Self Government

Good afternoon everyone. Honorable Mayor of Hamamatsu, Mr. Yasutomo Suzuki and members in UCLG ASPAC and Ladies and Gentlemen, as we all know UCLG ASPAC is the biggest region out of the 8 regions in the whole of UCLG. There are more than 10, 000 local governments in this region, covering 3.7 billion people, which is more than half of the population of the world. ASPAC is also a socially, economically, culturally and religiously diverse region. I believe such diversity cannot be found elsewhere. Also recently, this issue of diversity has become challengeable and complex. As this issue of diversity is very demanding, it is necessary for leaders to confront the issue in a democratic and effective way. As leaders in the

-3-

region, we are obliged to precisely control this diversity. In order to carry out this task, we should all assume the role as bridges for this region which require us to overcome economical, religious and cultural structural elements. As an example of this diversity; there are places in this region where the disposable income per capita is extremely low. In Japan, the disposable income exceeds 10, 000 dollar per capita; however, there are many people in developing countries living on a disposable income of only a few hundred dollars. In addition, although there are many advanced industrial countries, there are also rural areas being plagued by poverty in this region. As members of the Asia Pacific region, not only we are facing the challenge of diversity mentioned above, there are also issues such as poverty and climate change which we must deal with. Ladies and gentlemen, the citizens in this region, as stakeholders must combine and deal with various local issues as well as global issues such as climate change. Together with state governments, we must debate about global issues such as climate change. We are facing with many issues such as flooding, water crisis, city infrastructure crisis etc. To help ease climate change, local governments are responsible for dealing with serious issues such as reducing the output of carbon dioxide, waste management and transportation issues etc. It is necessary for local governments to form partnerships and unite with the citizens in order to improve the quality of life for all. It is necessary for us to join force with the state governments as they cannot deal with these problems alone. I would like to once again remind the audience about UCLGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noble mission; and this congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to correspond to globalization. Also, we must transmit the voices coming from democratic local governments all across the world. In addition, we must also become the bridge for local governments and the international community. Through congresses like this, we must provide a high quality and enjoyable life for the people of the Asia Pacific region. Thus, it is for reasons like these that we gather here today at Hamamatsu. In order for us to return to our home country and prepare to face the challenges that I have mentioned previously, we must share our knowledge and experiences. Perhaps there is a chance that globalization will prepare for a sustainable economic growth, therefore our mission is also to work towards bringing happiness to not only a minor sector of the people, but to bring happiness to all of the citizens. Finally, I believe that as a member of local governments, we should all play a part by cooperating together so we can build a strong region. We must also increase the vitality of the Asia Pacific region. By increasing the vitality of the Asia Pacific region, we can aim at getting great outcomes in the world. We must link in with the rest of the world in order to create a strong Asia Pacific region. Along with this message, there is also another point I would like to make. There is some great news for us. There are 2 Japanese scientists, Mr. Suzuki and another scientist who has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry, as they have discovered a special quality within a substance. This has been linked with the treatment for cancer and also improvement for computers. I would like to gratefully congratulate the two Japanese scientists for winning the Nobel Prize. Thank you very much.

<Greeting from mayor of the host city> Yasutomo Suzuki Mayor of Hamamatsu

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name is Yasutomo Suzuki and I am the mayor of Hamamatsu. As we commence the 3rd UCLG ASPAC Congress 2010 Hamamatsu, I would like to say a few words as the mayor of the host city. Today, we are blessed with the presence of Mr. Banno, the State Secretary of Foreign Affairs, the Human Settlements Officer UN-HABITAT Fukuoka Office, Ms. Rosales, the members of UCLG and the representatives of local governments within Japan. Last but not least, the citizens of Hamamatsu and other attendees. There are over 300 formal attendees from over 130 cities and bodies across the Asia Pacific, and over 300 Hamamatsu citizens and others attending this congress. It is a great honor in seeing such a big turn out. While gratefully welcoming you to the congress, I would also like to show my appreciation for the various organizations and individuals who have exerted their utmost effort in preparing for the congress. In recent years, along with the rapid growth of globalization, the outlook for the social and economical state has become uncertain. As a result, the role of cities and local governments has broadened and gained importance, and there is a demand for them to correspond with common global issues such as environmental issues. In addition, it is important that we have international strategies and responses for the local societies’ developments and dynamics. As a result, the cooperation and join force of cities and local governments is crucial from a global perspective. Furthermore, I believe that the diplomacy between cities will become a complimentary function for the diplomacy between countries. In this congress, there are keynote speeches and sessions for the various cities and local government bodies where it aims at finding a solution for the common issues facing the cities in the Asia Pacific region, and, it also aims at finding ways to further develop the region. With the main theme as ‘Responding to Globalization’, there are 4 sessions prepared named ‘Multicultural Society’, ‘Climate Change’, ‘Tourism Promotion Through the Use of Local Resource’ and ‘Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector’. Since there will be many advanced cases presented in this congress, I believe it will be fruitful for resolving many international issues. Also, I sincerely look forward to seeing many city networks being built here not just for Hamamatsu but for the various participating cities, which I believe will be an invaluable asset for all. As a conclusion, I wish sincerely that this congress will be fruitful and once again I would like to publicly thank the members who exerted their support for this congress. Thank you very much.

<Greeting from Guest> Yutaka Banno State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, like the introduction just now, I am Yutaka Banno, currently serving as the State Secretary of Foreign Affairs and a member of the House of Representatives. Today, because of the 3rd UCLG ASPAC Congress 2010 Hamamatsu, the first congress as such to be held in Japan, is currently being held in Hamamatsu, there are many guests who have gathered here. Such as the co-president of UCLG ASPAC Dr. Jatin V. Modi, Mayor Yasutomo Suzuki who is attending as the host city's mayor, and also the Human Settlements Officer, Ms. Lowie Rosales from UN-HABITAT. Above all, I would like to show my appreciation and gratefulness to all the guests gathering here from cities around the world. Congratulations! One thing that was an intervention today was the official duties that I was meant to attend to. However, to show that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is supporting this congress, and with my long years of acquaintance with Mayor Suzuki, I have came to attend this opening ceremony. In this congress, the main theme is 'Responding to Globalization', and with that four issues of 'Multicultural Society', 'Climate Change', 'Tourism Promotion Through the Use of Local Resources' and 'Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector' will be debated upon. Similar to what the introduction had covered, we are currently at an age where once an issue occurred in a region or city in any part of the world, effects will almost definitely be felt across all regions of the world. Great examples will be issues about Influenza, or various conflicts and barriers, etc. Once the issue becomes internationalized or becomes an international agreement, it seems like it will fall into the pattern where it will then get passed onto the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, If we continue passing tasks as such to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I think all Ministry of Foreign Affairs across the world must be finding it really difficult. I think it will be great if everyone from the region, local governed cities can actively participate at a grassroots level, it will be really great. Even I, who have been working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, always think of one issue. The issue is, 'why is it that only adults are participating in international congresses?'. I am looking forward to seeing teenagers, students or even children being able to participate in international congresses. While talking to a German Minister a few days ago, we came to a common ground. Compared to adults who continuously create an invisible wall around themselves as they continue to live, children on the other hand, have no such invisible wall surrounding themselves. I think it is very important that children can participate in exchange at a young age and think of what they can do as a citizen of the world. I am looking forward in seeing children participating in the next congress and I hope this proposal can be developed in this congress. Overall, I wish for the increasing development of this congress and I wish for the health for all of the participants here today. I would end my speech here. Congratulations to all and thank you very much.

statement

from

We commend and congratulate the organizers of the 3rd UCLG ASPAC Congress held in this beautiful city of Hamamatsu, Japan. Your theme, 'Responding to Globalization' is timely as humanity stands at a turning point in history. Today the majority of human beings already live in cities. By the year 2030, three-quarters of the world's population will be in urban areas. This urban transformation represents a major challenge for attaining the Millennium Development Goals, which is inseparable from the issue of climate change. To address this challenge, global cooperation is essential, but, local action is equally important. There is no doubt that local authorities will be at the front line in finding local answers to these global challenges. There is no one-size fit all solutions. Each local authority will have to assess its own risk and vulnerability and plan accordingly. Whether in coping with issues of rising sea levels, cyclones, droughts, flooding, or with environmental refugees, in addition to all the already existing problems that these cities face. It is obvious that local authorities, especially the fast growing secondary cities in developing countries will be the most severely tested by these challenges. These cities, despite their rapid growth, contribute a minimal share to the global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet they are the cities most at risk of suffering the impacts of climate change. In this context, the United Nations Human Settlements Program or UN-HABITAT is the program mandated to implement the Habitat Agenda and to deal with the built environment. Since we were created in 1978, UN-HABITAT has supported hundreds of cities in improving their living environment. We are also focusing on Goal 7 target 11 of the Millennium Development Goals whose objective is to half the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and sanitation by the year 2015, which is 5 years from now. As well as target 11, which is dealing with the improvement of the lives of slum dwellers by the year 2020. UN-HABITAT thus mandated to fight urban poverty and vulnerability by providing secure shelters for all, improved infrastructure and services. To achieve this goal, particularly within the complexity of climate change, we collaborate with all spheres of the government, civil society, the scientific and the professional communities. We therefore welcome this opportunity to be present in this congress to explain our efforts, particularly in Asia Pacific. Regarding how cities prepare for and respond to both the challenges and the opportunities brought by climate change. We also wish to highlight the importance of knowledge management and the transfer of technology. Hence we would like to invite you to visit the exhibit area where we will be sharing the good practices in which we have identified in the region. Once again on behalf of our executive director and our regional office for Asia and the Pacific based in Fukuoka City, thank you for inviting us to this congress and we look forward to our continuous partnership with UCLG. Thank you and good afternoon.

Cr. Geoff Lake Mr. Jae-myung Lee

*As the Mayor of Yogyakarta City, Mr. Herry Zudianto was absent from the congress, a brief summary of his speech was read out by Professor Ikegami. ‫ ڦ‬Outline of presentation ⅌“Multicultural Society in Hamamatsu and Japan”‒ (Hamamatsu City, Mayor Suzuki) After the Immigration Act was revised in 1990, many South American Japanese descendants used this opportunity to come to Japan and settled. However, the various issues surrounding foreigners are yet to be resolved and the problem has become more serious since the recent financial crisis. Hamamatsu city has unique initiatives such as the ‘Hamamatsu Multicultural Center’ and the ‘Hamamatsu Foreign Resident Study Support Center’. However, there are issues that cannot be resolved single-handedly by a city by themselves, therefore Hamamatsu established the ‘Committee for Localities with a Concentrated Foreign Population’ so proposals can be made to the central government. As it is urgent to establish basic guidelines in regards to how foreign residents will be accepted into the country, it is indispensible to set up and Agency for Foreign Residents (tentative name). ‒ ⅌“Multiculturalism in Australia”≋ALGA, President Lake≌ Australia is a multicultural society, 45% of the population are either born overseas themselves or has at least one parent who was born overseas. Especially in recent years where there are many immigrants with an Asian background. There are community level based English language programs for new immigrants who cannot speak English. Also, there are many events that celebrate multiculturalism such as Harmony Day.

Local governments play an important role in the multiculturalism that surrounds the Australian life. ‒ ⅌“Policy and Vision for a Multi-Cultural Society in Korea”≋Seongnam City, Mayor Lee≌ The foreign population in Korea has rapidly increased from 50, 000 in 1990 to 1.23 million in 2010. The Korean government established a ‘Comprehensive Information Center for Foreigners’ and promoted mutual understanding and anti-racism. A Multicultural family support center has been opened at Seongnam and promotes the cooperation with citizen groups and universities. Also, the ordinances to support foreign population have been enacted, free medical services and the social security fund has been expanded. Recognizes the diversity in the society and there is a need to promote discussions for preventing prejudice and discriminations against minorities, handicapped and low income populations ‒ ⅌“Yogyakarta: Management of Multiculturalism”≋Yogyakarta City, Mayor Zudianto≌ Indonesia is a diverse country with many different ethnic groups, languages and religions Yogyakarta is known as ‘City of tolerance’ which means the spirit of mutual respect reciprocally in harmony. In favor of strengthening the interrelation between different communities, Yogyakarta implements events such as celebrating major religious events, encouraging cultural events, coordinate dialogues etc. ‫ ڦ‬Outline of Discussion ‒ ⅌Professor Ikegami The few points I would like to raise and enquire about are: (1) The relationship between the central government and local government in regards to the sphere of multiculturalism (2) The cooperation between citizen groups and regional level administration (3) The enlightenment for the local communities that is accepting immigrants (4) The concern for human rights after immigration (5) The future of the second generation immigrants. ‒ ⅌Cr. Lake At the city of Monash where I am working as a councilor, administrative documents have been prepared with multi-languages. Also, we have a diverse city council as more than half the councilors are from a non-European background. About the relationships with the central government, local governments are positively participating in the debates about the sustainable population in the country. ‒ ⅌Mayor Lee We would like to continue to develop cultural communication and social unification. It is also important to accept a multicultural society and reduce prejudice and discrimination. We are aiming at creating a society where foreigners can have the same rights as Koreans within the society.

â&#x2026;&#x152;Mayor Suzuki There is yet still a coordinated policy to be in place in Japan. The notion of transferring people as opposed to transfer of products and capital under globalization is still very vague. While appealing to the central government to prepare the structure to promote a coordinated policy, we also like to come up with substantial programs here. In regards to the cooperation within the region, not just the administration, within the big network of citizens, corporations and other organizations, it is the responsibility of the side accepting the immigrants to prepare and create a welcoming society. â&#x20AC;&#x2019; â&#x2026;&#x152;Professor Ikegami As a basis to living in the society, it is important carry out support for language learning and consider diversity I think it would be great if we can all utilize this opportunity to further the cooperation between cities in the Asia Pacific area, exchange opinions and study about policies.

(2) World Bank Special Session: Climate Change ‫ ڦ‬Date and Time: 20th October, 2010 10:00 – 10:30 ‫ ڦ‬Venue: ACT City Hamamatsu, Congress Center 4F, Meeting Room 41 ‫ ڦ‬Speaker: Lead Urban Specialist, Finance Economics & Urban Development, World Bank/Mr. Hiroaki Suzuki ‫ ڦ‬Outline of Speech: In recent times, population growth, the scale of economical activity and CO2 emission are increasing rapidly. Currently, elements such as urbanization, poverty, population, water usage and climate change have been intertwined together in a complex manner, it has been inquired how a sustainable development is achievable within this issue. Climate change has already brought many substantial effects on food, water, climate and other fields around the world. Not only is it affecting developing countries, in developed countries also, there have been many deaths as a result of the extreme heat. It is fortunate global green stimulus spending is increasing but the gap is still large. It is necessary that different bodies act now and act together with the development of measures against climate change which has been varied until now. At the World Bank, the Eco2Cities initiative has been implemented aiming at achieving ecological and economic sustainability. In this initiative, integrated cross-sector approach, optimal urban plans and the combination of multiple financial instruments etc have been viewed as a distinctive feature. Currently the publication of the Eco2 book and the Eco2 Pilot Operations has been implemented.

(3) Session 2: Climate Change Climate change which is progressing on an international scale is already gravely affecting regions and cities through rising water levels and abnormal weather conditions. This session explored what cities can do to protect against climate change on an international level. ‫ ڦ‬Date and Time: 20th October, 2010 10:30 – 12:00 ‫ ڦ‬Venue: ACT City Hamamatsu, Congress Center 4F, Meeting Room 41 ‫ ڦ‬Moderator: Lead Urban Specialist of Finance, Economics and Urban Development, World Bank/ Mr. Hiroaki Suzuki ‫ ڦ‬Panelist: Director General, Bureau of Environment, Mr. Teruyuki Ohno Tokyo Metropolitan Government Chief Executive, Environmental Model City Promotion, Environment Bureau, City of Kitakyushu President of All India Institute of Local Self-Government (AIILSG) Human Settlements Advisor, UN-HABITAT Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific

Mr. Toshikazu Matsuoka Dr. Jatin Modi Ms. Angela Pinzon

‫ ڦ‬Outline of Presentation ⅌“Low Carbon Metropolis: Tokyo’s Climate Change Measures” (Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Director General Ohno) The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has set a target of reducing carbon dioxide emission by 25% below the level it was in 2000 by 2020. The strategies in place to achieve the target (1)Cap-and-trade program for large facilities (2)Mandatory CO2 emission reporting system for small and medium-sized facilities (3)Green Building Program Through establishment of bold CO2 reduction targets and introduction of solid policies to achieve these targets would private companies by encouraged to make large investments in energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy, thus making the transition to a low-carbon city possible. As the largest sub-national government in Japan, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government would like to continue its contribution towards the worldwide address of climate change. ‒ ⅌“City of Kitakyushu’s Efforts towards Building a Low Carbon Society’”(Kitakyushu City, Chief Executive Matsuoka) In the 1960s, Kitakyushu faced severe pollution due to the establishment of heavy and chemical industry plants. However, through repeated dialogue among businesses, citizens and the local government, Kitakyushu achieved economic growth and environment improvement. Actively using the environmental improvement technology that the city nourished, the Japan first ever innovation of ‘Eco Town’ has achieved zero emission in industrial complexes. Kitakyushu aims at promoting the policies of creating an environmentally symbiotic town one town at a time where all aspects within a town are included in the policy, and creating a smart community that utilizes hydrogen energy. Kitakyushu concluded framework agreements with Qingdao, Tianjin and Dalian in creating environmentally friendly cities. It is important for local governments to establish cross-border partnerships and become important players within this sphere.

‒ ⅌“Current Initiatives of Local Governments in India (Climate Change Related)” (AIILSG, President Modi) Many parts of the world are starting to feel the effects of climate change. In the Mumbai Metropolitan Area, waste management and air pollution have become big issues as the city continues to develop. The Indian National Government has implemented policies of energy conservation, hydroelectric initiatives and solar power. In addition, local governments are promoting green buildings and promoting public transport infrastructures. It is important for governments of all level to grasp the current situation and be aware of what they should do.

- 13 -

⅌“Cities Addressing Climate Change Impacts in the Asia Pacific Region”(UN-HABITAT, Adviser Pinzon) As big cities in Asia expand and small, medium sized cities develop, by 2023, 50% of the population will be living in urban areas. Local governments have a big role in making green cities, waste management, preparing infrastructures, educating and regulating the public sector. IN UN-HABITAT, there are 15 countries and 30 cities under the support of the Cities in Climate Change Initiative (CCCI). The regional partner meeting was held in Korea in September 2010. We have an aim of getting 300 cities to actively participate with coming up with measures for climate change.

‫ ڦ‬Outline of Discussion ‒ ⅌Specialist Suzuki I would like to ask the Tokyo Metropolitan Government about the (1) Incentive of the Cap-and-Trade Program (2) The policies and practices for small and medium scale offices (3) The strategy for reaching a higher CO2 emission reduction target in the second period. I would like to ask Kitakyushu city about the (1) Method of overcoming the barriers in between departments within the administration (2) The method of securing the support of the citizens and the Diet in regards to the cost involve with the international cooperation. I would like to ask the All India Institute of Local Self-Government about the method of coordination between the three structures of national, state and local governments. I would like to ask UN-HABITAT about the necessary policies and practices for expanding the activities.

⅌Director General Ohno Although the cost for investment for energy conservation will be big at first, however, the benefits will come back in the future. Also, there is an approved system for the offices recognized as a top level office where their reduction obligation rate is halved. (2) There is a system in place where the reduced share can be purchased from a small or medium scale office by a larger scale office. (3) We have set a higher target for the second period by considering the technical innovation and the time required for the targeted facilities to change their action plans.

⅌Chief Executive Matsuoka From the Mayor down, everyone in the agency recognizes that ‘Issues of climate change are issues of city management itself’ and the agency has a custom of tackling the problem. (2) As we shift from a volunteer base to an economical base program, we have got the understanding of the citizens in regards to the importance of the Asia economical sector.

⅌President Modi The local bodies work under the management and supervision of the states. Local governments play a role in tree-planting programs and preparing public transport etc.

- 14 -

â&#x2026;&#x152;Adviser Pinzon It is important for the promotion of knowledge management and sharing the ideas and awareness within the different governments.

â&#x20AC;&#x2019; â&#x2026;&#x152;Specialist Suzuki Cities play a leading role in facing climate change. Also, cities can take the policies for climate change into city development, and not just treating it like a special policy. It is important to enhance the design of the system and the structure of fund supply. Also, it is important to recognize the issues of poverty and development that developing countries face and the initiatives of a collaboration of cities, not just a single city. The local governments have an important role. I believe all the cities are working at their best in the various activities, however, it would be great if we could involve the national governments and give them some pressure.

(4) Session 3: Tourism Promotion through the Use of Local Resources As countries of the world become closer through the developments in information transmission and transportation, many regions are attaching greater importance to tourism as a means of communication culture as we as an industry to support the region’s economy. Through case studies of each city, this session explored what is necessary for tourism promotion. ‫ ڦ‬Date and Time: 20th October, 2010 13:30 – 15:00 ‫ ڦ‬Venue: ACT City Hamamatsu, Congress Center 4F, Meeting Room 41 ‫ ڦ‬Moderator: Executive Director, Marketing & Promotion Department, Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO)/ Mr. Masaki Hirata ‫ ڦ‬Panelist: Mayor of Saitama City

Spokesperson for ADDCN *UCLG ASPAC Co-President

Mr. Krishna Prasad Jaishi

‫ ڦ‬Outline of Presentation ‒ ⅌“The Case of Saitama City” (Saitama City, Mayor Shimizu) Saitama City is actively using traditional industries of “The Bonsai and Railway of Omiya”, “The Dolls of Iwatsuki” and “The Eel of Urawa” as part of our tourism promotion. In March of 2010, the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum opened and the Iwatsuki Doll Museum is scheduled to open in 2012. As many Saitama citizens have an interest in sports, the city has the requisite facilities in place. Saitama city has progressed substantially developing sports tourism by starting with the research in sports commission. Saitama will increase its recognition so we can become a city where people want to come and visit.

‒ ⅌“Shizuoka City – Tourism Advantages and Potential” (Shizuoka City, Mayor Kojima) Focusing on the four number one resources in Japan, ‘Green Tea’, ‘Tuna’, ‘Hobby modeling’ and ‘Sakura Shrimp’ in its city promotion, Shizuoka City is trying to convey its attractive image both domestically and internationally. In 2010, Shizuoka City has enacted a new tourism strategy focusing on six main areas, ‘Mt. Fuji, history and culture, city functionality, port, food culture and local industry experience.’ Shizuoka is an amazing mix of urban and natural environment and we would like to send information about these regional resources to other cities domestically as well as internationally.

‒ ⅌“Tourism Promotion in Shenyang” (Shenyang City, Deputy Secretary General Zhang) Shenyang City has historical sites such as The ‘Shenyang Imperial palace’, ‘Imperial Fuling Mausoleum’ and ‘Imperial Zhaoling Mausoleum’ and scenic areas such as The ‘Qipan Mountain Scenery and Tourism Development Zone’. The International Horticultural Exposition was held in 2006, and there are also big scale tourism projects in development such as the building of the ‘Chinese Version of Disneyland’ and ‘World Hot Spring Theme Park’. While it is important to strengthen the information system for tourism, it is also important to work out the specialty of the area. ⅌“A Case of Nepal” (ADDCN, Spokesperson Jaishi) Tourism is an important part of Nepal’s economy, the government of Nepal has decided to celebrate 2011 as Nepal Tourism Year and aims at increasing the visiting tourist number to one million. In Bhaktapur Municipality, the tourist entry fees to historical centers are the major source of income. The fees are mainly spent on the restoration and rehabilitation of the city’s historical center as well as other work. Although there are issues such as political instability and inadequate infrastructure, the ways forward is human resource development and strengthen the public private partnership. ‫ ڦ‬Outline of Discussion ⅌ Executive Director Hirata Firstly, it is important that the citizens recognize the resources in the region and make the most out of that and transmit that out. It is important to make the most of the natural environment and create a refreshed appeal. It is an issue on how to transmit messages about those resources. I would like to inquire about the areas you would like to emphasis on from now on. ‒ ⅌Mayor Shimizu Although it has been thought of as a demerit that Saitama city is really close to Tokyo, however, changing the way of thinking, we would like to invite tourists positively while collaborating with the surrounding area and the private sector.

‒ ⅌Mayor Kojima To increase the exchange population, we Shizuoka has started the work of emphasizing events and tourism. It is important to correspond with the guest coming from outside with kindness, politeness and a warm reception in order for the guests to bring back with them a nice image of Shizuoka.

- 17 -

‒ ⅌Deputy Secretary General Zhang Just like Hamamatsu City, Shenyang is an industrial city as well as a city of flower who have held The International Horticultural Exposition previously. Please visit Shenyang if you have a chance. ‒ ⅌Spokesperson Jaishi I believe cultural tourism is a selling point for Nepal. We would like to promote tourism through the preparation of a transportation network and strengthening the collaboration with countries and organizations abroad.

‒ ⅌Executive Director Hirata Firstly, it is necessary to recognize that tourism as an industry is very effective for regional promotion. With the increase of exchange population, not only it will affect the economy and increase income, a new culture will be created in the region with the various exchange of ideas and information. While putting the importance on preserving the unique resource of the region, it is also important to create a new attraction of the individuality of the area and connect that with the tourism promotion.

(5) Session 4: Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector In the era of the worlds financial crises, initiatives in intercity cooperation in the economic sector are increasing, aiming to build reciprocal, complimentary relationships that have a multiplier effect. This session discussed the nature of future cooperation for Asian Pacific cities whose presence in the world is expanding. ‫ڦ‬ ‫ڦ‬ ‫ڦ‬ ‫ڦ‬

Date and Time: 20 October 2010 15:30㹼17:00 Venue: Act City Hamamatsu, Congress Center, Meeting Room 41 Moderator: Executive Vice President of Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Mr. Hiroaki Ishii Panelist: Deputy Mayor of Sagamihara City

‒ ‫ ڦ‬Outline of Presentation: ⅌͆Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector͇㸦Sagamihara City, Deputy Mayor Koboshi㸧 The Mayor of Sagamihara City recently visited Wuxi City in China, a Sister City of Sagamihara. The Mayor promoted his intentions for future economic exchange between the two cities. Sagamihara City has an abundance of potential as a strong business hub with infrastructural elements like the Linear Chuo Shinkansen and Sagami Longitudinal Road etc. The city has a rich menu intended for the promotion of the establishment of new business facilities. We hope to construct an enterprise network between Sagamihara City and Wuxi City, and to consider hosting production technology exchange meetings and investment conferences etc. ⅌͆Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector͇(Hiroshima City, Mayor Yoshihiko Miyake) The Mayor is actively promoting market expansion of the advanced automobile related industries of Hiroshima City. Hiroshima City is involved in aerospace industry exchange with Montreal City through the support of the JERO RIT program. Other than ties with sister and friendship cities, Hiroshima City has extensive ties with many other international cities. There has even been a ͆Hiroshima Fair͇ in the city of Ningbo, China.‒ In order to attract tourists from abroad, Hiroshima City is continuing to collaborate with surrounding cities and promote the attractiveness of the entire region.‒ The 21st century is a generation where cities are driving the world forward while fulfilling leadership roles in various fields. Through intercity cooperation and exchange we hope to build win-win relationships.‒ ‒ ⅌͆Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector͇(Jakarta Capital City, Governor Bowo) Local government is the closest institution to the citizen and international organizations who have formerly been partnered only with central governments have begun to recognize cities as partners.

- 19 -

Cooperation between cities and mutual learning is essential. In that instance it is not just economic growth that we must focus on, but taking equality as a general rule we must also give special thought to policies for tackling poverty. On the other hand, competition is also necessary. The Asia Pacific region is the world’s largest market and through competition, economic growth capabilities will increase further. As the players who know the highest needs of citizens, we must reflect our opinions on international society. UCLG ASPAC has to take on this important role. ‒ ⅌Current Initiatives of Local Governments in Thailand (League of Municipalities Thailand, President Pattano㸧 There are 2,009 local government organizations in Thailand which are decentralizing little by little, in fields like development planning and financial control etc. The economic cooperation program called IMT-GT (Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Growth Triangle) promoted tourism among the three countries. Also, making use of the city’s natural resources through rubber production, which the city is originally known for, plans are in place to boost the global rubber industry of the city’s suburbs (Rubber City). ‫ ڦ‬Outline of Discussion ⅌Executive Vice President Ishii As competition intensifies between cities, we are entering an age where businesses are selecting local governments, and city management methods are growing in importance. We have recognized the importance of learning from each city’s experiences. It is my personal opinion but regarding support for small to medium sized enterprises, we can expect promotional effectiveness with municipal authority frameworks. I would like to hear some final supplementary comments from the panelists.

⅌Deputy Mayor Koboshi We hope to understand the needs of city enterprises with regard to international expansion, and provide them with accurate information. As setting up city overseas branch offices independently can be difficult, we hope to cooperate with organizations like JETRO etc. and promote city enterprises.

⅌Deputy Mayor Miyake Cities play a major role in up keeping the well being of their citizens, and cannot assist any particular industry or enterprise. Making sure of profitability in all areas of the city, we must prepare terms and conditions for our cities’ environments.

⅌Governor Bowo We must collect the views and opinions expressed during this conference. It is UCLG ASPAC’s duty to voice our opinions to international organizations.

â&#x2026;&#x152;President Pattano As local governments in Thailand are over complicated, we have come to an age where change in local government systems is required. Regarding economic cooperation, there are partnership opportunities on both a regional and intercity, and there are various sectors within these partnerships, not limited to government.

â&#x2026;&#x152;Executive Vice President Ishii Serious issues have been raised from various view points. It has once again become clear that to solve our problems we must share each others concrete challenges.

Session 1 “Multicultural Society” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 1Ⅴ‫ٶ‬૨҄σဃⅥ

Multicultural Society in Hamamatsu and Japan Mr. Yasutomo Suzuki Mayor of Hamamatsu City Current Profile of Foreign Population Registration in Japan and Hamamatsu City As of the end of December, 2009, the number of foreigners registered in Japan was 2,186,121, which comprises 1.71% of the total population of 127,510,000. China, North/South Korea and Brazil, in ascending order, make up the top three nationalities of foreign population registration. In Hamamatsu, as of the end of August, 2010, 28,525 foreigners were registered, which comprises approximately 3.5% of the total population of 820,971, almost twice the country’s ratio. A feature of Hamamatsu is that 15,000 people, approximately half of the foreign population registered are Brazilians, making it the city with the largest Brazilian population in the country. Japan’s Intake of Foreigners The Japanese government’s basic stance in accepting foreigners who excel in the professional and technical fields has not changed. However in reality, in 1990, the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act was revised, and 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese descendants as well as their spouses were able to receive visas with no restrictions on their activities in the country. Many South American Japanese descendants and their families, mainly from Brazil and Peru used this opportunity to come to Japan and were able to seek unskilled employment. In particular, Hamamatsu is a region which thrives on the manufacturing industry centered on transportation, and as there were many work opportunities, there was a sudden increase in Brazilians. Initially, it was a temporary phenomenon of migrant workers; however this was followed by an influx of their families coming to Japan, and eventually settling here. Issues Involving Foreign Residents With the sudden increase in the intake and settlement of foreigners of South American descent, various issues involving foreign residents became clear. Due to the differences in cultures and customs, as well as the language barrier, not following the rules of rubbish disposal, not following social rules such as car parking and noise have caused trouble and friction with local residents. There are also many foreign workers who do not have health insurance due to their instability of non-ongoing employment. Also, there are cases of foreign children who lack sufficient Japanese ability that end up not attending or dropping out of school as they are unable to follow the classes of public elementary and junior high schools. These kinds of issues have developed as a result of the country’s unregulated laws and systems in regards to the intake of Japanese descendants based on the principles of the Japanese government which only accepted foreign workers of high standards. With these issues being unresolved, and with the spread of the financial crises across the globe caused by the problems of sub-prime loans in America as well as the world’s largest simultaneous economic depression since World War 2, it has resulted in foreigners with non-going employment being directly affected. Many foreign workers lost their jobs and their daily lives were ruined, which further exacerbated the problems facing foreign residents. Unique Initiatives of Hamamatsu City As local governments which stand at the forefront of accepting foreign residents were unable to wait for the national government’s response, municipalities took the initiative to proactive implement independent policies for foreign residents so that they may continue to live a stable life. The following will introduce Hamamatsu’s unique measures. Hamamatsu Multicultural Center The Hamamatsu International Exchange Center was established in 1992, concentrating its efforts on international exchange and co-existence with foreign residents. In 2008, with the move of the building, it was reorganized as the Hamamatsu Multicultural Center. The Center aims to create an environment where everyone can live comfortably and independently. In cooperation with various organisations, the Center provides a multi-lingual one-stop consultation corner staffed by expert advisors. When

Session 1 “Multicultural Society” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 1Ⅴ‫ٶ‬૨҄σဃⅥ necessary, it also provides individual support by its multicultural coordinators. Recently, due to the prolonged economic downturn, many foreigners are developing mental health problems, which have lead to the introduction of mental health counselling provided by psychological counsellors. In addition, the Center also provides support to foreigners so that they can overcome the differences in language and culture and live as a member of the local community. For people of different cultures to live together, they can come across new values and also promote international understanding education which cultivates mutual understanding. The city aims for a local community created on coexistence and mutual aid, as well supporting voluntary activities of each citizen. Hamamatsu Foreign Resident Study Support Center The Hamamatsu Foreign Resident Study Support Center was opened in January, 2010. As the pillars of its activities, the Center conducts Japanese language courses aimed at foreign residents, training courses for volunteers who support Japanese language education of foreigners, multicultural experience courses which enables foreign and Japanese residents to experience different cultures, and Portuguese language courses for people who assist foreigners. The 2nd floor of the Center is occupied by a school for foreign residents, a quasi-legally incorporated educational institution, which makes it a comprehensive study support facility aimed at adults and children. The Center’s management and operation of activities is based on an arrangement of citizen cooperation, involving local community organisations, Japanese language experts, NPOs and volunteer groups. Support for Non-Japanese Children Non-Japanese guardians are not imposed the duty to enrol their children in school. The decision of which choosing schools and whether or not the child receives schooling is decided by the guardian and child. There are many children who attend public schools, but there are foreign resident schools which base its curriculum on that of its home country, establishing itself as the forefront of educating non-Japanese children. As a form of support which Hamamatsu provides to non-Japanese children, the city dispatches bilingual supporters to public schools, and holds Japanese classes as well as classes in their mother language. In addition, the city provides financial subsidies to foreign resident schools approved by Shizuoka prefecture, and dispatches Japanese teachers to teach at foreign resident schools as well as implementing various projects such as assisting with the purchase of textbooks. Future Vision ~ Initiatives Centered on the “Committee for Localities with a Concentrated Foreign Population” Hamamatsu is at the forefront of the nation’s local governments in implementing polices for foreign residents. However, drastic resolution of issues such as the education of foreign children and non-enrolment in health insurance cannot be bound to the individual city alone. Therefore, Hamamatsu approached cities which also have a large population of foreign residents from South America, and formed the Committee for Localities with a Concentrated Foreign Population in 2001. In addition to exchanging information on current activities and policies related to foreign residents, it is taking proactive approaches to solving these issues. In addition, through meetings of leaders, it continues to offer proposals to the national government. The issues faced by the Committee for Localities with a Concentrated Foreign Population have now become nationwide, and it is a fact that it will become even more complicated and diverse in the future. In response to the movements of the Council, in 2010 the national government set up the Office for the Coordination of Policies for Foreign Residents in the Cabinet Office, and also created the Basic Guidelines related to Policies for Foreign Residents of Japanese Descent in September, 2009 which can be seen as a definite move forward. However, in order to provide systems and social institutions where foreign residents can have a stable life, as a country we believe that more than ever, it is urgent to establish basic guidelines in regards to how foreign residents will be accepted into the country. For this reason, it is indispensible to set up an Agency for Foreign Residents (tentative name). As we approach the 10th year since the establishment of the Committee for Localities with a Concentrated Foreign Population, we aim to draw out a positive response from the national government.

Multiculturalism in Australia Cr. Geoff Lake President, Australian Local Government Association Australia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. ‘Multicultural’ is a term that describes the cultural and linguistic diversity of Australian society. Cultural and linguistic diversity was a feature of life for the first Australians with over 500 Aboriginal languages and different cultures. Since European settlement immigration has been a major factor that has contributed to Australia’s diverse population. In the very early days of settlement, colonial leaders encouraged the immigration of free settlers to settle the land and produce the agricultural products required for the young country. Females were particularly encouraged as they could add to the capacity of the nation to increase the natural birth rate. In the mid 1800s arrived settlers from all over the world seeking to make their fortune in the Australian Gold fields. At this time a large number of Chinese immigrants arrived and ultimately settled. Australian Governments throughout the years have used immigration policy to manage Australia’s population number and composition. When the population needed to expand immigration increased. When Australia has experienced labour shortages, immigration for skilled workers has increased. In addition, Australia has also met its international responsibilities in regards to accepting refugees from all over the world. Australia’s population today is 22 million most of whom have ancestors that came from other parts of the world. Around 25% of the population were born outside Australia. Multiculturalism is therefore a feature of modern Australian life, and it continues to give us distinct social, cultural and business advantages. Governments at all levels need to continue to show leadership to addresses the consequences of this diversity in the interests of the individual and society as a whole. All levels of government have policies that recognise, accept, respect and celebrate our cultural diversity. But, the freedom of all Australians to express and share their cultural values is dependent on all citizens accepting and abiding by mutual civic obligations. All Australians are expected to have an overriding loyalty to Australia and its people, and to respect the basic structures and principles underwriting our democratic society. These are: the Constitution, parliamentary democracy, freedom of speech and religion, English as the national language, the rule of law, and equality. Political leadership is essential to maintain social cohesion in a multicultural society. From time to time in Australia’s history politicians and segments of the Australian community have sought to exploit community prejudice and fear about racial and cultural diversity. In the mid 1900 to about 1970 Australia had an immigration policy known as the ‘white Australia policy’, at the end of the Vietnam war, concerns were expressed about the numbers of ‘boat people’ (refugees) that were coming to Australia. In the late 1990s, public debate about multiculturalism and immigration became very divisive and migration was an issue in the 1998 election. More recently terrorist attacks across the world have heightened concerns about particular ethnic groups in certain parts of the country.

Session 1 “Multicultural Society” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 1Ⅴ‫ٶ‬૨҄σဃⅥ Fortunately, political leadership from all sides of politics and the good sense of the Australian people has seen the continuation of multiculturalism and social cohesion. Australia’s multicultural policy today gives particular emphasis to: ࣭ the goal of community harmony and social cohesion ࣭ the government’s access and equity strategy, which aims to ensure government services and programs respond to the realities of Australia’s diversity ࣭ promoting the benefits of our diversity for all Australians. At the national level the federal government provides strong leadership and funding to support multiculturalism across the nation. However it is up to local government to implement relevant multicultural policies at the local level sometimes with Federal Government funding. Settlement ࣭ Settlement services are of considerable importance to local government. This issue deals with the capacity of communities to meet migrant needs and provide appropriate services. ࣭ Humanitarian settlement is particularly sensitive given the views of many communities that insufficient resources are provided by the Australian Government to properly assist with refugee integration in society – English language courses, housing, welfare etc. Newcastle and Tamworth local government areas are two high profile regional settlement areas; in Victoria, the highest concentrations are around city of Greater Dandenong, Maribyrnong and Brimbank. ࣭ Local government does pick up costs associated with settlement of new arrivals and the on-going costs of ensuring longer-term migrants receive services that are accessible and deliver equitable outcomes. Language Services in Rural Areas Language services are essential to support newly arrived immigrants. continues to be raised as a concern for many rural and regional areas.

Access to these services

Harmony Day, 21 March In recent years well over 200 councils across Australia participated in Harmony Day activities. Harmony day is a national day for celebration of cultural diversity. This is an excellent example of how local government works with the Federal government to promote multiculturalism Anti racism The management of anti racism at the community level is extremely important. Local government is critical to this task. Local government must confront racism and work with the community to promote social harmony and social cohesion. Citizenship Local government plays an important and respected role in the partnership with the Australian Government in the process of welcoming ‘new Australians’ through delivering citizenship ceremonies.

Policy and Vision for a Multi-Cultural Society in Korea Mr. Jae-myung Lee Mayor, Seongnam City

ൡ Becoming a Multi-Cultural Society As a result of inflow of immigrant workers due to lack of labor force caused by the low birthrate and aging, the increase in international marriages, and expanded immigration opportunities for overseas Koreans, the foreign residents in Korea have increased from 50 thousand in 1990 to 1.23 million in 2010.

ൡ Policies regarding Multi-Culturalism and Immigration in Korea 1. Creating a Convenient Living Environment for Foreigners a. Offering administrative, information and interpretation services at ‘Comprehensive Information Center for Foreigners’ b. Supporting for the social adaptation of multi-cultural families, expanding social welfare by offering basic living subsidies, unemployment insurance, and unemployment compensation c. Attracting foreign medical organizations and offering medical services 2. High-quality Integration of Society a. Promoting social education and exchange programs for understanding a multicultural society with multi-cultural families and other citizens b. Offering public advertisements (‘Together Day’ festivals, etc.) c. Supporting the social adaptation and financial independence for spouses of immigrants d. Operating a special program for children in multi-cultural families 3. Preventing Racial Discrimination and Protecting Human Rights a. Evaluating the issues and government policies from a foreigner’s point of view, and reflecting their concerns to public policies b. Establishing the refugee - supporting facilities and providing basic subsidies such as living and medical expenses 4. Establishing New Governance for a Multi-Cultural Network a. Establishing comprehensive policies for foreigners. They aim to maximize the effect of policies by adopting a systematic and focused set of policies, not sporadic. b. Establishing partnerships with NGO, NPO, local community, and educational organizations to eliminate conflicts and enhance integration into local communities

ൡ Seongnam’s Multi-Cultural Policies Our policies aim that the multicultural families share the same and equal services and rights as other citizens, not as foreigners. There are 23,280 registered foreigners in Seongnam (up to 2.4% of the city population). It ranked the sixth in Korea in terms of the foreigners-to-Koreans ratio. Located very close to Seoul, the city is famous for its convenient transportation network. Residential areas for foreigners are formed near subway stations.

Session 1 “Multicultural Society” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 1Ⅴ‫ٶ‬૨҄σဃⅥ 1. Establishing the Support System for Multicultural Policies a. Operating a professional organization and enacting relevant ordinances b. Operating a support center for foreigners c. Operating a free medical center (2,449 patients served by 2009) d. Interpretation and translation service (general, medical, legal, educational and other cases/ total 449 cases) 2. Supporting for Social Adaptation and Settlement a. Offering visit education for multi-cultural families (offering classes such as how to learn Korean and how to raise children) b. Operating a support program for multi-cultural families (Korean language education, family meetings, consultation, etc.) c. Language development and education projects for children in multi-cultural families d. The Korean language education for spouses of immigrants (operating Korean language/ culture classes and encouraging spouses of immigrants to take Korean Language Proficiency Test) 3. Creating Happy Environments to Live Together a. Inviting immigrant workers and multi-cultural families to Korean heritage and food culture programs and one-on-one or family programs to let them understand Korean society easily b. Service that send photo albums showing happy life in Korea back to mother countries c. Supporting spouses of immigrants who are in economic difficulties to visit their motherlands

ൡ Policy Direction for the Multi-cultural Society Minority groups are often forced to assimilate into the main stream society. The society, unfortunately, is often indifferent to their cultural backgrounds and ignorant to possible cultural differences. Conflicts arising from this can make a significant impact on the society in general and racial conflicts are common in most countries. In this context, it is important that we make strong efforts to tolerate and accept diverse cultures different from us in preparation for a multi-cultural society. 1. Policies for Granting Civil Rights and Developing Citizenship and Need for Citizen Education Every human being is given the rights to possess and express cultural identities, to have equal and just social opportunities. In order to establish a multi-cultural society, citizen education is, therefore, essential. 2. Establishing a Cooperative Multi-Cultural Network Creating a political and institutional environment in which to reduce social conflicts and facilitate integration; creating a local community where citizens can participate in major policy making with government and business communities – these are at the core of the cooperative multi-cultural network model. 3. Accepting the Social Diversity as the Basis for the Multi-cultural Society Under the assumption that everyone has to respect different values and cultural diversity in the multi-cultural society, we first have to recognize and accept the existing diversity in our society. Cultural habits and lifestyles of social minority groups based on income, social status, region, and disability have to be embraced and understood by everyone.

Equal rights and duties to immigrants to help them settle into our multicultural society.

New Governance The government should educate citizens to be qualified on how to co-exist and prepare institutional systems to prevent discrimination.

Culture Integration

These systems will change recognition, attitudes, and values toward different cultures and people.

New Governance

Culture Integration

We need a policy that embraces multicultural issues and integrates all cultures into society.

Central Government Unifying all Parties Applying Comprehensive Systematic Policies

Regional Communities

When a society or a nation builds its policy, essentially, we must consider the greatest common agreement on laws, systems, and values.

Corporations Universities & Research Institutions

To embrace various cultures we must confront conflicting elements; one-way communication cannot solve heterogeneous natures and the cultural varieties.

Minority Groups

Local Governments

Citizens

It is most important to embrace the multi-foreign cultures as they are and to prevent biases and discrimination against minorities, thus expanding their rights that the majority already enjoy.

Citizens Groups

Proposal

In reality, immigrants are considered a “cultural minority” and “passive group.” To break these biases we must respect the fact that their cultures add cultural diversity to Korean society. The policies that support multicultural issues, and through it all, eventually, we can make a society where every member of the society is happy.

Yogyakarta : Management of Multiculturalism Herry Zudianto Mayor of Yogyakarta City Yogyakarta, or Jogja which some people are more familiarized with, located on the southern part of Java Island, nevertheless, is portraying the country itself as well, Indonesia. The city, which constitutes the capital of Yogyakarta Special Region province is commonly conceived as the “miniature of Indonesia”, for the diversity of its citizens’ origins and cultures. By means of almost similar configuration, the presence of islands far distinct from each other (Java, Sumatra, Bali, Borneo, Celebes, New Guinea, and so forth), acculturation and assimilation as a result of international trade with foreign merchants - furthermore followed by foreign clerics and troops for centuries, perpetual preservation of the local wisdoms, have been major factors on building the Indonesian society as multilinguistic, multiethnic, multireligious and multiculture. There are over 300 tribes or ethnic groups and more than 700 local languages or dialects spoken throughout the country from the largest ethnic, Javanese, to smaller clans in Papua (West New Guinea). Therefore, multiculturalism by means of favorable interrelations among different ethnics, different beliefs and different interests within the Indonesian society is undoubtly a very important feature needed to be well-managed not only by the government, but it also needs the involvement of all citizens and all communities by promoting and extending the value of tolerance. Before the early establishment days of Yogyakarta in the year 1756, interaction among nations throughout the Southeast Asian region has signified the appearance of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islamic and Christianity influence within the society. Major cultures as well as Javanese, Austronesian, Indian sub-continent, Chinese, Arabic and eventually European civilizations came from various directions giving colorful coherence and contribution to the flourished multiculturalism evolution. The native Javanese culture inherited from Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat (Kingdom of Ngayogyakarta) existed before the arrival of other major cultures in Java Island. Javanese civilization – which tend to be open, inclusive and tolerance – assumed the presence of other cultures, indicated by the developed communities and settlements in some areas of the city during 1800s. Far eastern settlements – mostly Chinese and Arabic traders and merchants - evolved adjacent to the Royal Palace, native villages and Dutch houses at that time. By 1920, there were 94,254 (90.08%) Javanese inhabitants compared to 5,643 (5.44%) Chinese and 3,730 (3.59%) Europeans according to local Dutch-administered statistics. The feature revealed that multiculturalism was deep-rooted within the city, particularly among different nations, different cultures and different communities – peacefully. Yogyakarta is well-known as a “City of tolerance” in Indonesia. The local wisdom concept of teposeliro (or literally “tolerance” in Javanese) which means the spirit of mutual respect reciprocally in harmony has important role in acculturating other cultures introduced by settlers from outer islands or overseas. Tolerance encourages people to be open-minded understanding the differences and not resist against different ideas. That is, tolerant views which extend beyond individual interests, understanding that other peoples’ interests do exist and has to be equally considered. Nevertheless, there is presence of mutual interest which bounds to be mutually respected as well. At present, Yogyakarta is also well-known as a City of education and prominent tourism destination – nearest city to Borobudur and the city of patriotism. The presence of high-ranking universities in

- 53 -

Session 1 “Multicultural Society” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 1Ⅴ‫ٶ‬૨҄σဃⅥ Yogyakarta, such as Gadjah Mada University and a number of 18 more universities throughout the city become magnets that attract students from all over the country and abroad. With almost 750 foreign students from 51 countries in Yogyakarta, and approximately 1.6 million tourists per year visiting Borobudur, Prambanan and the surrounding areas, Yogyakarta is an international city enriched by a multicultural atmosphere. The local government in Yogyakarta together with central government in Jakarta have significant roles in conducting measures to ensure a cohesive society between people of different ethnics, cultures and religions. After government reformation in 1998, the ruling government at that time extended the favorable policy to foster the freedom of speech, freedom of conducting religious prayer and freedom of preserving minority art and culture. The blossoming of the government’s respective open policies stimulated the development of considerable intercultural activities especially in favor of better relation and interaction between the majority and the minority segments of the population. The approval of Chinese Lunar New Year as national holiday, Confusian as the 6th prominent religion, the flourishing Chinese art and cultures traditional groups in Indonesia mark out the enhancing government accomodation to minorities. Regarding the multicultural society in Indonesia, a number of non-governmental organizations and interest groups also have significant role to preserve favorable interaction and interrelation between different religions, cultures and ethnics, particularly between the majority and minorities. The presence of strong moderate Islamic organizations such as Muhammadiyah and NU assert the Indonesian image as moderate largest Moslem predominantly country – as a counter for raising considered right-wing hardliners due to current several terrorism issues. The synergy between important roles of the government, non-governmental organizations and interest groups in preserving favorable relation between minority and the majority segments of the population; and the well-preserved basic values including local wisdoms, norms, religious-guided rules among the society have strong impact in maintaining cohesive society between people of different ethnics, cultures and religions. Yogyakarta City Government has conducted several programs and acitivities in favor of strengthening the interrelation between different communities such as : 1.

2. 3. 4.

Procurement of Green Open-Space in some areas of the city by purchasing uncultivated-land from the citizen to provide space or building for social-gathering purpose (sport, meeting, community service, etc). To organize and to support mass religious prayer and services to celebrate major religious holiday. To promote major cultural events organized by the government or the society To facilitate constructive interracial dialogue among different religions, different ethnics and different communities in Yogyakarta in conjuction with community-own established inter-religion or inter-community dialogue forums.

Session 2 “Climate Change” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 2Ⅴൢͅ‫٭‬ѣⅥ

Low Carbon Metropolis: Tokyo’s Climate Change Measures Mr. Teruyuki OHNO Director General, Bureau of Environment, Tokyo Metropolitan Government 1 Introduction In order to avoid the catastrophic impacts of global warming, greenhouse gas emissions need to be halved by the middle of this century; developed countries are requested to reduce their emissions by more than 80 percent. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has set a target of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 25 percent below 2000 levels by 2020. To achieve this target, we have introduced the world’s first urban cap-and-trade scheme along with a range of other innovative programs. This is resulting in various changes in urban development and corporate behavior in Tokyo. Only through establishment of bold CO2 reduction targets and introduction of solid policies to achieve these targets would private companies be encouraged to make large investments in energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy, thus making the transition to a low-carbon city possible. Our experience shows that sub-national governments can also play a critical role in mitigating climate change. 2 Tokyo’s Climate Change Strategy Tokyo has 13 million residents and its gross regional product in 2006 was 815 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of size of economy, this is equivalent to that of the world’s 15th largest nation. Our climate change measures focus on this huge amount of economic activity. Tokyo’s CO2 emissions totalled 65 million tons in 2007, with the commercial and industrial sectors accounting for half of this figure. These sectors are thus the main targets of our efforts to address climate change. Our key measures for climate change include: ࣭Cap-and-trade program for large facilities; ࣭Mandatory CO2 emission reporting system for small and medium-sized facilities; ࣭Green Building Program; and ࣭Program to expand use of solar energy Each of these programs is the most advanced in Japan. The measures launched by the TMG are having an impact on measures taken by the national government and local authorities. 3

Introducing the Cap-and-Trade Program

Our most important measure is a cap-and-trade program 㸦Tokyo ETS㸧launched in April 2010 as the first such program in Japan and Asia. Following the EU-ETS and the RGGI in the United States this program is the world’s third system for mandatory reduction targeting the commercial and industrial sectors. We decided to introduce this cap-and-trade program based on our experience that significant investment in energy conservation can not be realized without mandatory reduction. In 2002, we introduced a program that required large facilities to report and publicize their CO2 emissions and encouraged their voluntary reduction of emissions. However, it became clear that most companies would only invest capital that can be recovered within three years—the reduction targets of the companies in the program averaged at a mere 2 percent.

- 64 -

Session 2 “Climate Change” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 2Ⅴൢͅ‫٭‬ѣⅥ Based on this experience, in June 2007 we announced our plan to introduce an emissions trading system. We held meetings with stakeholders including the Nippon Keidanren and other business organizations and corporations, listening to a variety of opinions as we built the system. Initially all of the business organizations and corporations were strongly opposed to the plan, but after rounds of intense debate at the stakeholder meetings, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry, one of the leading organizations in Tokyo, finally issued a statement of support. We also gained the understanding of many other corporations and business groups, and in June 2008 the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly unanimously decided to introduce the cap-and-trade program. 4 Tokyo’s Cap-and-Trade Program Tokyo’s program is the first urban cap-and-trade system that covers office buildings and commercial facilities. ࣭ Coverage:

࣭ Reduction target:

Facilities consuming the energy equivalent of 1,500 kiloliters or more of crude oil per year. This amounts to approximately 1400 facilities, accounting for 40 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions from the commercial and industrial sectors. 1st compliance period (2010-2014) 6% 2nd compliance period (2015-2019) 17% (current estimation)

࣭ Allowance allocation:

Based on past emissions

࣭ Obligation:

Through its own reductions or emissions trading, each facility must bring its total

࣭ Penalties:

emissions for the five-year period to fall below its allotted level Company publicly named and fined, etc.

Further details of the program are available on the TMG website: http://www2.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/sgw/daikibo/index.htm 5 Changes in Corporate Behavior The introduction of Tokyo’s program has been changing Tokyo’s urban development and corporate behavior into those of a low-carbon model. In the urban development field we are starting to see unprecedented, bold investments in energy efficiency. Japan's leading developers are now competing to construct office buildings with highly advanced energy performance. For example, a major construction company in Tokyo is constructing a “carbon-halved building” for its headquarters, and a real estate company has introduced a retrofitting program in tenant office buildings to significantly reduce energy consumption. 6 Cities and Sub-nationals Leading the World City governments and sub-national governments (SNGs) are already taking aggressive actions ahead of national governments and the international community to tackle the issue of climate change. Some SNGs are already cooperating internationally to support climate change actions by the SNGs of developing countries. With international negotiations at a deadlock, leaders who have the capacity and the will to tackle climate change should take initiatives. The TMG will continue making the utmost efforts to achieve a low-carbon society and will contribute to the world’s efforts to address climate change by offering our experiences and the environmental technologies of Tokyo.

Session 2 “Climate Change” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 2Ⅴൢͅ‫٭‬ѣⅥ

City of Kitakyushu’s Efforts toward Building a Low Carbon Society Mr. Toshikazu Matsuoka Chief Executive, Environmental Model City Promotion, Environment Bureau, City of Kitakyushu Kitakyushu, a major industrial city with a population of 980,000, has developed as one of Japan’s leading manufacturing centres. During the process of its development as an industrial city, Kitakyushu has been deeply involved in environmental issues. First, the city faced with sever pollution in the 1960s attributable to the establishment of heavy and chemical industry plants, as exemplified by the highest level of dust falls in Japan at the time. Through repeated dialogues among businesses, citizens and the local government, as well as the promotion of fuel switch and the revamp of production processes, Kitakyushu has successfully overcome industrial pollution. The approach employed by Kitakyushu for the simultaneous pursuit of economic growth and environmental preservation was recognized as a model for solving pollution problems in the Asia-Pacific region, and adopted as the Kitakyushu Initiative for a Clean Environment at the 4th Ministerial Conference on Environment and Development (MCED) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP). Kitakyushu utilizes technologies and know-how cultivated in the course of overcoming pollution for international environmental cooperation targeted primarily at Asian countries, accepting about 6,000 trainees to date from other countries in environmental training courses. ESCAP) Second, Kitakyushu devotes itself to creating a sound material-cycle society. Since 1997, the city government has been actively engaged in a project (Kitakyushu Eco-Town Project) to build a base for recycling waste materials generated in large amounts by industries and households. The efforts have resulted in the establishment of one of Japan’s largest comprehensive recycling centres, where a number of projects to recycle items such as automobiles, home electric appliances and fluorescent light tubes are now operated mobilizing advanced recycling technologies, to promote the effective use of resources. The project is significant in that it has opened a window of opportunity in this country to facilitate the transition of environmental measures to an industry, creating over 1,000 jobs so far. As this integrated recycling system is instrumental in coping with the massive generation of waste, Kitakyushu concluded framework agreements with Qingdao, Tianjin, and Dalian, China to transfer the recycling system as a whole package to these cities to help them get the burgeoning waste problem under control.

- 69 -

Session 2 “Climate Change” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 2Ⅴൢͅ‫٭‬ѣⅥ Third, Kitakyushu is also striving to achieve a low-carbon society. In 2008, the city was designated as a model for a low carbon city (Eco-Model City) by the government of Japan. Building on the momentum, over 100 programs have been formulated in various sectors including industrial, residential/commercial and transport sectors, and are being undertaken through public-private joint initiatives in the city. Specifically, the installation of photovoltaic units and the creation of a system to promote bicycle use including a bicycle-sharing program in central urban areas, and afforestation activities by citizens are some of the measures being implemented. Above all, a demonstration project for introducing Smart Grid is worthy of special mention. This project is designed to transform Japan’s conventional energy supply-demand system into the one befitting a low-carbon society. Selected as a model project by the central government to develop innovative technologies and systems, it is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions by 50% on a block-by-block basis by incorporating a mechanism for smarter use of energy on a regional level into town planning. This approach is intended to serve not only as an energy measure but also as an impetus for creating a prosperous society, bringing innovative changes to various components of a society such as buildings, transportation and communication. I have described diverse measures taken by Kitakyushu in its history of tackling environmental issues, and they are all for the sake of a common objective, namely, to build a prosperous society. By the same token, the city government is committed to addressing climate change issues in partnership with various stakeholders in an effort to make our future society prosperous for generations to come.

Session 2 “Climate Change” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 2Ⅴൢͅ‫٭‬ѣⅥ

Current Initiatives of Local Governments in India (Climate Change Related) Dr. Jatin V. Modi President, All India Institute of Local Self-Government Climate Change - issues Already large part of the world is feeling the stress. Past decade had seen the hottest summers, the fiercest cyclones and typhoons, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, the worst droughts and downpours, alarming rise in sea levels and the collapse of agriculture in many countries. The impact of climate change is directly related with the growth of population. In India, population census for 2011 has started and results will be available shortly which could be base for planning for the future. Case Study I would like present a case study Mumbai Metropolitan Area. Present status, realities and future challenges for a cities and towns in the area. Current Status Mumbai Metropolitan Region has an area of 149sq.kms in 1971, increased to 1000sq.kms. till today. Its forest area declined from 1045 sq.kms. to 879 sq.kms. for the same period. Similarly, area under industry increased from 45sq.kms. to 140sq. kms. While agriculture area reduced from 2098 sq. kms to1381 sq.kms. MMR’s population has increased from 6 million in 1971 to 20 million. It is the fourth largest urban agglomeration in the world. Therefore the daily consumption of power has gone upto 2750MW.An estimated 101155 Tons per day of municipal solid waste is generated in MMR which includes biodegradable waste, recyclable waste, debris and silt. The disposal methods are not sufficient to cover fully. Mumbai has over 1.2 million road vehicles in a geographical area of 437 km2. The yearly emissions of CO2, Co, Nox, PM and So2 are extremely high. Since the impact of these changes and resultant changes in the climate will be more on the citizens of the urban local bodies in these areas it becomes challenge for the local bodies of the cities and towns in the area. However, endeavorance to combat impacts of climate change the initiatives have been taken at central government, state government and local bodies as below: Initiatives at the Government Level 1. Integrated Energy Policy, 2006 2. Reforming Energy Markers (Electricity Act 2005, Tariff Policy 2003, Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act, 2006 etc.) 3. Energy Conservation Act, 2001. 4. New and Renewable Energy Policy,2005 5. Energy Conservation Building Code,2006 6. 50,000 MW Hydroelectric Initiative,2003

CITIES ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION Ms. Angela Pinzon Human Settlements Adviser UN-HABITAT Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific Climate Change is fast becoming the pre-eminent development challenge of the 21st century. The future of hundreds of millions of people around the world will be determined by the pace of adaptation and mitigation undertaken by our cities. There is no doubt that in addition to efforts at the global and national levels, local governments must now take charge in finding local solutions to these global challenges. In particular, the Asia/Pacific region is known to be the most affected by disasters, experiencing 90% of the world’s weather-related deaths since 1990. Rapid urbanisation has left more than 70% of the urban population in Asia and Small Development states in the Pacific (SIDS) located in areas prone to flooding. This has contributed to the region’s vulnerability to natural and man- made disasters which will be further exacerbated by climate change. Given all these pressures there is no doubt that the capacities of city authorities in Asia and the Pacific to address climate change impacts have to be developed, so they can become the front line actors to introduce local responses to these global changes. Each local authority will need to assess its own risks and vulnerability, and plan accordingly to cope with climate change impacts (rising sea levels, cyclones, droughts, flooding, environmental refugees etc) in addition to already existing problems. This evidences the urgent need to further support cities and national partners in Asia and the Pacific, to introduce and mainstream adaptation and mitigation measures in city development plans that will allow them to manage climate risks, and in turn understand and support locally determined vulnerabilities and responses through a regional platform that facilitates knowledge sharing, technical support and the mainstreaming of coordinated actions which strengthen cities’ resilience to climate change impacts . In response UN-HABITAT, through its SUD-Net: Cities in Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) is mobilizing local, national, regional and global partnerships in support of local governments to more readily respond to the climatic threats they face (Climate Change Adaptation) and take bold steps in reducing cities’ climate footprint (Climate Change Mitigation). UN-HABITAT’s Cities in Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) in Asia is currently implemented in Philippines, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Samoa Vanuatu. This initiative aims at developing, adapting and making available methodologies that provide city managers and practitioners with guidelines on how to cope best with climate change. CCCI has a strong focus on poverty reductions strategies. In particular, it seeks to support the development of pro-poor and innovative approaches for the implementation of climate change policies and strategies. In an effort to strengthen city responses to climate change impacts, scale-up local climate change responses through national-level policy interventions, and sustain these achievements through improved regional collaboration, UN-HABITAT conducted a Regional Partners Meeting 15-17 September 2010 in Changwon, Republic of South Korea and brought together representatives from Korea, China, Fiji, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Sri Lanka,

Through the Changwon Declaration UN-HABITAT is committed to jointly achieve the regional objective to have at least 300 cities in Asia Pacific Region responding actively to climate change by 2015. ‒

Shizuoka City - Tourism Advantages and Potential Mr. Zenkichi Kojima Mayor of Shizuoka City Shizuoka City is one of Japan’s nineteen ordinance-designated cities, with a population of 730,000 people and an administrative area of 1400 km2, and has long been a crucial point connecting Tokyo in the east and Nagoya and Osaka in the west. Our city is to be found at an advantageous location at the center of Shizuoka Prefecture, and, framed by the 3000-meter Southern Alps mountains in the north and Suruga Bay in the south, the deepest in Japan, Shizuoka is an amazing mix of urban and natural environment. Radical societal developments in recent years have created in Shizuoka a greater necessity for improved flow of people and materials, and our city has responded to this demand. On land, major transportation routes such as the Tomei Expressway and the Shinkansen bullet train line cross east and west through Shizuoka, and in the near future the Shin-Tomei Expressway and the Chubu-Odan Expressway, which will connect Shizuoka to Saku City in Nagano Prefecture to the north, will begin operating. The Shizuoka’s Shimizu Port continues to grow, and in June of 2009, the Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport opened for business, with routes to six cities nationwide and to Seoul in South Korea and Shanghai in China. All these factors provide a strong foundation for the movement of goods, information, and people, and facilitating the further internationalization of our city and Japan. Shizuoka City is very proud of its local agricultural specialties, including its famous green tea, wasabi horse radish, mikan tangerines, and strawberries, and marine products such as sakura shrimp and baby sardines. Shimizu Port handles a greater volume of frozen tuna, one of the most popular fish in this country, than any other port in Japan. And because of the influence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who unified Japan 400 years ago and resided in Shizuoka, this city has a vibrant community of traditional artists and craftsmen who specialize in bamboo crafts, gold-and-silver makie lacquer ware, hina dolls, kites, and more. This commitment to craft and artistry also takes on a modern cast, with Shizuoka being the number one producer of plastic models in Japan and fostering cutting-edge design and content creation. The Basic Policy for City Promotion, formulated in 2006, established green tea, tuna, hobby modeling, and sakura shrimp as four primary components of a strategy to raise Shizuoka’s profile domestically and abroad. Unfortunately, despite our abundance of natural, historical, and cultural resources, our tourism PR efforts have been lacking. Additionally, we have long taken these resources for granted, and understanding of their value in tourism, and even the value of tourism itself, has been very low. But that is changing now as we take a closer look at the advantages and resources Shizuoka possesses. Amidst greater regional and municipal competition, we and the people of our city are crafting a new narrative to improve our city’s image and improve awareness and recognition of the “Shizuoka Brand” both domestically and internationally. To this end, in March of 2010 the City of Shizuoka enacted a new tourism strategy focusing on six main areas: Mt. Fuji, our history and culture, city functionality, our port, food culture, and local industry experience. And as we examine the responses of visitors and participants, we will further refine our tourism approaches and plans.

Session 3 “Tourism Promotion Through the Use of Local Resources” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 3Ⅴ‫؏ע‬᝻เ⇁ဃⅺↆ↎ᚇήਰᐻⅥ An example of this is the Shizuoka Hobby Fair, one component of the World Modeling Capital Shizuoka Project, which opened on July 24th and runs until March 27th, 2011. The Hobby Fair is a promotional event showcasing the many model making companies and related organizations gathered here in our city, and features a hobby museum exhibiting the history of plastic model making and rare products, a life-size, 18-meter tall Gundam statue, model shops, and more. This fair utilizes Shizuoka’s hobby modeling resources, and as we and local organizations collaborate in holding various seasonal events, we are drawing more people to Shizuoka and boosting its brand. The sight of Mt. Fuji. The flavor of sushi and sakura shrimp. The aroma of green tea. The feel of history and culture. The pride of making and creating. In Shizuoka, all these things and more come together in a city steeped in tradition and bursting with innovation.

Tourism Promotion in Shenyang Mr. Zhang Zhonghua Deputy Secretary General, Shenyang Municipal Government Shenyang City is situated in the province of Liaoning and is the largest city in the Northeastern Region of China centered on economics, culture, transport and trade. Recently, it has received many titles such as “The National Environmental Protection Model City of China”, “National City of Forest”, “China’s Dynamic Economic City”, and “China’s Most Prosperous City”. Shenyang City has a history dating back to 2300 years ago, it is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, and has more than 1100 scenic locations. The Xinle Relics are the remains of the settlement of the primitive matriarchal society from early Neolithic period. The Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of only two fully constructed palace buildings in China. The Imperial Fuling Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty’s first emperor Taiso Nurhaci, and the Imperial Zhaoling Mausoleum of Taizong Huangtaiji are significant tourist sights for travelers . Religious buildings are a large feature of Shenyang city’s cultural landscape. The South Mosque was built in 1878 and is the most beautiful structure of the Islam Association in China’s Northeastern Region. Shenyang city’s mosques are the most famous Islamic constructions in the Northeastern Region of China. The famous Four Pagodas of early Qing Dynasty clearly portrays the magnificent architectural art and ethnic diversity of the Qing Dynasty. The Qipan Mountain Scenery and Tourism Development Zone is widely known both nationally and internationally as an area which is the model of national culture industry, with a concentration of beautiful natural surroundings and historical cultural landscape, it is a scenic area centered on mountains, lakes and forests, as well as the location where the Tournament for the International Women’s Shogi Title was held. The Expo Garden is Shenyang city’s only Level 5A tourist site. The International Horticultural Exposition was held in 2006, which boasted the largest site area in the history of the event. Shenyang Guaipo (Strange Slope), which can not be found else where within, is a sloping road which stretches over 80m, inclining from East to West. If you come here by car, when driving down the slope, you need to turn on the engine, but when driving up the slope, the car will naturally ascend the road without the engine being turned on. Recently, the city is placing great importance on a large scale tourism project and is investing 20 billion yuan to build the country’s largest “Chinese version of Disneyland” in Shenyang. In addition, taking advantage of the abundance of hot springs in Shenyang, the city is proactively taking initiatives in developing the hot springs tourism economy, where the construction of the American zone of the world’s hot springs theme park which American financial institutions have invested 700 million yuan, is almost completed. The sightseeing spots of Shenyang is not only limited to the city center, but also extends to the 7 provincial cities of Anshan, Fushun, Benxi, Yingkou, Liaoyang, Tieling and Fuxin with a total population of 24 million inhabitants. On 6th April, 2010, the Shenyang Economic Zone was approved by the national government as a New Industrialization Comprehensive Reform Pilot Area, and in 2013 the city will host the 12th National Games of the People's Republic of China, all of which is considered to be an even greater force in developing the tourism industry of Shenyang city.

A case of Nepal1 Mr. Krishna Prasad Jaishi Spokesperson, Association of District Development Committee of Nepal Background Tourism is very much part of the globalization (Macleod, 2006). Tourism is very activity of humankind for the creation of tourist movement. Therefore, it is said that the main purpose of tourism is to move from one place to another with some objectives (Satyal, 2000). Tourism has become one of the world’s largest and fastest growing industries (UNESCO, 2007). National Scenario in Nepal After the elections in April 2008 this year and declaration of republic end of May 2008 it is expected more intensive growth of touristic sector. The political parties in parliament have given their commitment to tourism as the most important sector of Nepalese economy. Consequently, the “New Nepal” was awarded also a new tourist brand name and marketing promotion by The Nepal Tourist Board. The government of Nepal has decided on 25 October 2008 to celebrate 2011 as Nepal Tourism Year (NTB, 2009). The government of Nepal has also declared a quantitative target to welcome one million visitors in 2011 and prepared strategy accordingly. Tourism promotion may contribute in the following areas. Major Strategies adopted by Government of Nepal are as follows: To reduce poverty and minimize regional imbalance; To create conducive environment; Encourage to promote public private partnership in tourism development; Develop regional and international airports; To create employment opportunity in tourism sector Chief Action Plans are as follows: To show new identity of Nepal in the global market with typical brand such as Naturally Nepal once is not enough; Wild west virgin east etc; To establish multi-usages visitors centre and hand over to the local government for its operational responsibilities; Organize tourism promotion activities by using the economic diplomacy; Create and offer special package to encourage tourists in Nepal even in off-season as well. Local Self Governance Act, 1999 and tourism development in Nepal There are sufficient rooms for local government to raise internal revenue and promote tourism sector by the local governments such as VDCs, Municipalities and DDCs (LSGA, 1999). Tourism sector is one of the important areas of revenue sharing between central government and local government in Nepal. Of the total revenue collected by central government from the tourism sector, 30 per cent revenue shall be shared to the local government. Contribution of Tourism in Local Government Revenue This figure shows that the role of tourism in income generating of local government is very crucial. On the other hand the legal provision is that at least certain percent of income from the revenues sharing 1

Session 3 “Tourism Promotion Through the Use of Local Resources” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 3Ⅴ‫؏ע‬᝻เ⇁ဃⅺↆ↎ᚇήਰᐻⅥ must be invested in the same sector's promotion and development. This provision is also strongly put as an indicator of MCPM. It indicates that local governments have to give their priority to strengthen the tourism sector by their own local revenue. The trend is in increasing rate in 2007/08 as compare to 2006/07. It means that tourism sector has become more important for local government in terms of revenue generation and investment to promote tourism sector. Although contribution of tourism sector in total revenue sharing is only 4.16 % and 5.98 % in 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 respectively, it is important source of revenue of local government which plays important role in the development of the tourism sector. The major sectors of revenue sharing are registration of land and building, mine, forestry, hydropower and tourism. The table clearly depicts the overall situation of revenue mobilization of the two fiscal years. An Example of Bhaktapur Municipality The Bhaktapur Municipality is one of the 58 municipalities in Nepal. It is located 16 km east of Nepal’s capital city Kathmandu, within the Kathmandu valley. Beside Kathmandu and Lalitpur/Patan Bhaktapur, an ancient Newari town, is one of the three old royal cities in the valley. Revenues from tourist entrance fees have been the major source of income for Bhaktapur municipality. Tourist Entry fees are mainly spent on the restoration and rehabilitation of the city’s historical centre as well as on other public works. Bhaktapur levies the biggest part of its revenues from tourist fees, which have to be paid obligatory by tourists to visit the city’s cultural heritage (700 NPR/ 10 US Dollars for non Nepalese visitors). More than 37 % of the municipality’s total revenue derives from fees and fines, out of which more than 90 % are coming directly from tourist entry fees. Realizing the role that the tourism industry has played in the conservation of heritage in Bhaktapur, Bhaktapur Municipality of late has started implementing some very important schemes to attract tourists. Bhaktapur Municipality encourages as much of public participation in tourism and heritage conservation as possible. Surveys have shown that almost all of Bhaktapur's tourism entrepreneurs and craftsmen are locals. Moreover, the local people own all restaurants and guesthouses, whereas outsiders own a few of souvenir shops in the city. Opportunity: 1. Fast growing markets, 2. Local Self Governance and Grand Guideline has made mandatory to local government to invest certain per cent of income in this areas, 3. Tourism in one of the income and employment generating sector; 4. Public Private Partnership Policy has also given more space to invest in the tourism sector, Challenges: 1. There are no elected representatives in local government since 2002, 2. Still there is political instability in the country, 3. Revenue of tourism collected by central government is not properly shared to local government 4. Adverse publicity about safety and security situation 5. Inadequate infrastructure, limited hotels/carrying capacity Ways Forward 1. The orientation program focusing the issues to the local government representatives must be conducted, 2. The public private partnership model must be promoted, 3. The local government must invest in tourism sector and coordination among local partners, 4. The peace and security must be maintained in the country, 5. The tourism friendly environment must be created.

“Tourism Promotion through the use of Local Resources" A case of Nepal

Tourism is very much part of the globalization. Tourism has become one of the world’s largest and fastest growing industries.

Krishna Prasad Jaishi Co-President, UCLG ASPAC and Spokesperson -ADDCN & Hem Raj Lamichhane Executive Secretary General, ADDCN

The economic impact of the tourism industry can be seen in its contribution to a country’s GDP and exports. Tourism in China has made a substantial contribution in its GDP that accounts about 13.7 per cent in 2006.

20 October 2010 1

The political parties in parliament have given their commitment to tourism as the most important sector of Nepalese economy. The government of Nepal has decided on 25 October 2008 to celebrate 2011 as Nepal Tourism Year (NTB, 2009). The government of Nepal has also declared a quantitative target to welcome one million visitors in 2011 and prepared strategy accordingly. Tourism promotion may contribute in the following areas.

In 2006, tourism in Cambodia and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic accounted respectively for 22.3 and 21.4 per cent of their total export earnings and contributed 19.6 and 9.3 per cent respectively of their GDP. Contribution of tourism to GDP and to total exports averaged between 7 and 10 per cent. Globalization and Free trade zone facility has also promoted to increase tourism in Singapore and neighboring countries. 3

To show new identity of Nepal in the global market with typical brand such as Naturally Nepal once is not enough; Wild west virgin east etc; To establish multi-usages visitors centre and hand over to the local government for its operational responsibilities; Organize tourism promotion activities by using the economic diplomacy; Create and offer special package to encourage tourists in Nepal even in off season as well.

To reduce poverty and minimize regional imbalance; To create conducive environment; Encourage to promote public private partnership in tourism development; Develop Regional and international Airports; To create employment opportunity in tourism sector

There are sufficient rooms for local government to raise internal revenue and promote tourism sector by the local governments such as VDCs, Municipalities and DDCs (LSGA, 1999). Tourism sector is one of the important areas of revenue sharing between central government and local government in Nepal. Of the total revenue collected by central government from the tourism sector, 30 per cent revenue shall be shared to the local government.

Revenues from tourist entrance fees have been the major source of income for Bhaktapur municipality. Tourist Entry fees are mainly spent on the restoration and rehabilitation of the city’s historical centre as well as on other public works. Bhaktapur levies the biggest part of its revenues from tourist fees, which have to be paid obligatory by tourists to visit the city’s cultural heritage (700 NPR/ 10 US Dollars for non Nepalese visitors).

Inter City Cooperation in the Economic Sector Mr. Toshio Kayama Mayor of Sagamihara City In 1985, Sagamihara City and Wuxi City in China became sister cities, thus celebrating our 25th anniversary of their friendship. Since then, we have broadened our horizons in fields such as, educational and cultural exchanges, sports and economics. In recent years, China’s economy has greatly expanded; therefore, we have decided to place even more importance on our union by starting with this 25th anniversary celebration. This being said, we would like to show you a summary of our city, followed by an explanation of its potentials and industrial policies. The same presentation was also held in Wuxi City.

Session≗ “Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙≗ⅤኺฎЎ᣼↚ⅹↀ↺ᣃࠊ᧓ᡲઃⅥ

Hiroshima’s Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector Mr. Miyake Yoshihiko Deputy Mayor of Hiroshima City The following are three examples of economic exchange between Hiroshima and cities abroad as well as one example of regional collaboration aimed at attracting foreign tourism. Example 1: Automotive Industry-focused Exchange Hiroshima City serves as a world acclaimed automotive industry hub with numerous technologically advanced automobile-related businesses. As a part of our policies for globalized automotive industries in Hiroshima, Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba himself went on a series of trips to cities all over the world with highly reputable automobile-related firms such as Detroit (USA). During these trips, the Mayor promoted the innovation of Hiroshima’s automotive industries to several major automobile manufacturers as well as other related businesses and institutions. Thanks to the Mayor’s efforts, economic delegations and automobile-related companies from each city came to Hiroshima, and we saw an increase in international economic exchange for Hiroshima-based automobile-related companies in the form of cooperative activities and business negotiations. This has led to the birth of new business with overseas automakers as well as many other concrete results. In May 2003, as part of this new development of economic exchange, a group of 16 local automobile-related companies pulled together by the City of Hiroshima collaborated to establish the Hiroshima Vehicle Engineering Company (HIVEC). Aiming to become “A base for automotive design and development in Asia,” HIVEC was created to handle development operations from the design phase up to the production of prototypes. While moving forward with the overseas customer acquisition driven by the collaborative network between Hiroshima and automotive design companies in cities such as Shanghai and Turin, a result of Mayor Akiba’s promotional efforts, HIVEC set up major business negotiations with a leading automaker in China in 2008 for a package agreement to design new automobiles as well as interior parts. Example 2: International Sister and Friendship City-focused Exchange The City of Hiroshima has six sister and friendship cities: Honolulu (USA), Hanover (Germany), Volgograd (Russia), Chongqing (China), Daegu (Korea), and Montreal (Canada). To commemorate the 10th anniversary of such sister and friendship city relationships, Hiroshima has been carrying out economic exchanges with these cities by hosting and sending economic missions. Among these, Hiroshima is currently engaged in an aerospace technology exchange between Montreal’s world famous aerospace cluster, vigorously promoting the development of its aircraft industry. In June 2008 the Hiroshima Aerospace Industry Study Group was established, composed of several Hiroshima aircraft parts manufacturers. In October that same year, an economic mission, comprised of Mayor Akiba and seven study group company members, was sent to Montreal. During this mission Mayor Akiba and the mayor of Montreal, The Honourable Gerald Tremblay, agreed to the promotion of an aerospace industry exchange between the two cities. In April 2009, Hiroshima was selected for a JETRO-sponsored Regional Industry Tie-up (RIT) program with Montreal in the field of aerospace. Taking advantage of this opportunity, an aerospace delegation from Hiroshima was sent to Montreal in October of the same year. During this mission, CRIAQ (Consortium for Research and Innovation in Aerospace in Quebec) was identified as the contact organization in Montreal for coordination of company exchanges for the JETRO RIT program. In March of 2010, the CEO of CRIAQ and key Montreal aerospace experts visited Hiroshima.

Session≗ “Intercity Cooperation in the Economic Sector” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙≗ⅤኺฎЎ᣼↚ⅹↀ↺ᣃࠊ᧓ᡲઃⅥ This year in November, another aerospace delegation from Hiroshima will be sent to Montreal. They will visit Montreal aerospace companies and R&D organizations, partake in a promotion seminar, engage in B2B (business to business) meetings, as well as invite Montreal aerospace companies to Hiroshima for a follow up mission in 2011. In addition, Hiroshima, Okayama, and Yamaguchi Prefectures have partnered together as one group in the Chugoku Region in efforts to explore new business opportunities as well as boost training and promotion of its aircraft industry by utilizing Japan’s national development assistance system. Example 3: Broad-based Exchange with Cities Abroad Keeping focus not only on Hiroshima’s sister and friendship cities but also other cities abroad, Hiroshima is taking advantage of various collaborative opportunities to promote a wide range of exchanges across numerous fields including business. In August of this year, a delegation including Mayor Akiba and key economic representatives of Hiroshima visited Ningbo China, near Shanghai International Airport which services direct flights from Hiroshima everyday, and held a Hiroshima Promotional Fair. The purpose of this fair was to boost economic exchange opportunities with China, which continues to experience tremendous economic growth, as well as to revitalize Hiroshima’s economy by promoting Hiroshima products and tourism. The Mayors of Hiroshima and Ningbo made a mutual agreement to deepen the friendship and cooperative relationship between our two cities in a variety of fields, such as tourism and business. We would like to engage in various intercity exchanges and activities with Ningbo including; hosting market researchers from Ningbo, the establishment of direct flights between Ningbo and Hiroshima, and holding business Fairs in each city to promote tourism, trade of goods and services, and to attract businesses to the regions. Example 4: Regional Collaboration to Attract Tourism As part of our aggressive efforts to attract tourism, we established a visitor industry strategy to boost the number of visitors to Hiroshima. However, in order to attract potential visitors from Japan as well as from around the world, we must focus not solely on tourism in Hiroshima City but also on the importance of collaborating with surrounding cities and towns to promote the attractiveness of the entire region. In October 2008, Hiroshima was officially designated as a Tourism Area by the Japan Tourism Agency (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism). Taking advantage of this opportunity, seven cities and five towns, including Hiroshima City, Hatsukaichi City and Iwakuni City, collaborated to open an array of programs to promote travel packages for stays of three days and two nights or longer. A lineup of tourism options was put together featuring traditional Kagura performances and joint light up events at the A-bomb Dome and Itsukushima Shrine World Heritage Sites as well as at the Kintai-kyo Bridge, one of Japan’s three most famous bridges. Furthermore, we have developed discount travel offers for multiple night stays and presented beautiful island view cruises through the Seto Inland Sea. The City of Hiroshima will continue to work its best to enhance these programs as well as develop new tourism services and information systems using collaborative relationships with local municipalities so that our entire region may see an increase in visitors.

Session 4 “Inter City Cooperation in the Economic Sector” ⇡⇩⇝∍∙ 4ⅤኺฎЎ᣼↚ⅹↀ↺ᣃࠊ᧓ᡲઃⅥ

Inter City Cooperation in the Economic Sector Dr. Fauzi Bowo Governor of Jakarta Capital City Government A combination of economic and environmental concerns has set the stage for increased sustainability throughout the Province of Jakarta. Related to this, Inter-City Cooperation in the Economical Sector is highly beneficial and its potential is still far from having been realized to the full. Jakarta has to deal with the results of phenomenal urban growth in terms of demand for services and infrastructure but has not the necessary financial means to deal with such demands. The city is facing various complex problems such as excessive pressure on the use of land resources, traffic congestion and regular flooding, just to name a few. Under the condition of globalization, it turns out, that the difficult task of solving urban problems can no longer be handled by a single city. And since we all seem to face similar problems, Jakarta has taken steps to cooperate with cities from all over the world through promoting the exchange of information, experience and expertise. Bilateral relationships to our sister cities as Bejing, Seoul, Bangkok, Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, Rotterdam, Istanbul and many others have been and still are very beneficial to us in terms of sharing information and experiences to gain better understanding of how to tackle the issues Jakarta is facing today. Also our active membership in city networks like UCLG, C40, the Asian Network for Major Cities 21 (ANMC21) or CITYNET is constantly a source of inspiration, information and imagination for improving our services for the people and also to minimize the negative impacts of urbanization in terms of climate change. A new concept of Eco2 City builds on the synergy and interdependence of ecological as well as economical sustainability and the fundamental ability of these to reinforce and strengthen each other in the urban context. Cities in the Asia-Pacific Region, I believe, will have the best opportunity to realize Eco2 City values and initiatives by means of inter-city cooperation. UCLG ASPAC, in this case, shall contribute to the promotion of such efforts. Using intercity networks for more cooperative forms of exchange and support can potentially have high pay-offs in terms of raising awareness of issues, formulating innovative approaches to shared problems, and tapping opportunities to pursue joint policy responses to urban problems across urban and territorial boundaries. In the era of global and regional cooperation, there is still a demand for a higher degree of inter-city interdependency and complementarities among major urban centers to find ways of sustaining our economies without sacrificing the livability of our cities.

Eco2 Cities : Realizing the Vision

Enhancing UCLG-ASPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roles

Intercity cooperation in the economic sector should play a bigger role related to the activities of UCLG ASPAC in the future.

The cities in Asia-Pacific region will have the best opportunity to realize Eco2 Cities through intercity cooperation. UCLG-ASPAC can contribute to the promotion of such efforts.

UCLG-ASPAC should : Provide a cross-sector dialogue on connections and innovation. Provide framework which helps urban leaders of the Asia Pacific Region to develop responses to the unique challenges and opportunities their cities face. Play the role of facilitator and advisor for an increased participation of the private sector in solving the problems of their members.
