“Lowland” denotes regions of low elevation, which are

particularly vulnerable to climatic and environmental changes. For

example, global warming, which appears to be causing a rise in sea

level, must ultimately affect the safety of coastal dikes and other

coastal infrastructures, as well as threaten the water and ecological

systems in lowland areas. Lowland regions are also particularly

susceptible to natural disasters. Action is now required for the

development of new technologies to protect and develop lowland

areas and to solve the environmental problems currently being faced

in these regions. To achieve this aim, it will be necessary to draw on

and to merge several disciplines, such as geotechnical engineering,

water resources, city planning, coastal engineering and geographical

information system etc.

The first International Symposium on Lowland Technology

(ISLT) was held in 1998 and since then these international symposia

have been held every two years. ISLT1998, 2000,2002,2006 and

2010 were held in Saga, Japan. The ISLT 2004 and ISLT 2008 were

held in Bangkok, Thailand and Busan, Korea, respectively. ISLT2012

is the eighth series and will be held in Bali, Indonesia.

The objective of ISLT2012 is therefore to bring together

researchers and engineers working in lowland regions, from a broad

range of disciplines, in order to present their research results,

exchange information, facilitate networking, and to promote and

advance technologies related to lowland development.
