Research on Kasumi levee
- Kasumi levee is an embankment that is broken in places and discontinuous.
Okuma, T.(1987) A Study on the Funcution and Etymology of Open Levee, Proceedings of 7th research meeting of Historical Studies in Civil Engineering, 257-266
In the case of a continuous levee, as shown on the left, the city and the river are clearly separated. However, when the levee is discontinuous, as shown on the right, the city and the river are expected to be in close proximity through a gap in the levee.
Based on this hypothesis, this research is conducted to explore the nature of the relationship between the city and the river through the Kasumi levee.

This photo was taken at the Doki River Waterfront School Park. The embankment can be seen on the left side of the image. On the other hand, another levee can be seen on the right side of the woods in the center of the image, and further on the right side, where there is a tall tree, there is no levee and shrubs in the river channel can be seen. Part of the park is located between the two lines of levees on the left and right.
