日本人初の砂防担当教授•諸戸北郎の近代砂防における業績

摘要

Imperial University of Tokyo (present the University of Tokyo), which was the first educational organization for studying and learning these fields. After the laboratory was established, two foreign teachers were invited and taught SABO until 1909. In 1909， Dr. Moroto went to Vienna, Austria, to study SABO under F. WANG. He not only studied in Vienna but also visited many places where SABO projects were executed, for example, in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Czech, Poland, Croatia and Montenegro. Through these Studies, he gained much knowledge and technology concerning SABO. Just after coming back to Japan, Dr. Moroto became a professor at the Laboratory of SABO, the Imperial University of Tokyo. He produced some technical books and introduced new technology from Europe in many places in Japan. As a professor, he brought up the next generation and promoted research on erosion control technology and forest hydrology. In this paper the footprint Dr. Moroto left are described in the incipient period of modern SABO on the basis of a large literature and field investigation. This paper will contribute to future exchanges between Japan and European countries in the field of SABO based on these historical relationships. Laboratory of forest hydrology and erosion control engineering; footprint of Dr. Kitao Moroto; the first Japanese professor of SABO; SABO technology in Europe%本論は，近代砂防における諸戸の業績について総覧し たものである。諸戸は欧州留学で得た知見を，著書「理 水及砂防工学」5編にまとめるなどにより，日本の近代 砂防を体系化するとともに欧州の砂防技術を紹介した。 大学において砂防の高等教育の基礎を固め，後進の育成 を図るとともに，砂防•治山工事現場において理論に裏 付けされた新たな技術の導入と技術指導を行った。さら に，愛知演習林などで量水堰堤の設置と試験を開始する など，森林水文学の必要性と研究の重要性を世に示した。
