Terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings and the consequence collapse of the buildings were far beyond both the imagination of architects and the presupposition of architecture-related laws. However, there are several important lessons for architectural design and fire fighting to be learnt from what happened after the terrorist attacks. First, with regard to architecture, the disaster induces usto rethink the importance of "redundancy" and the reinforcement of "shaft", and to give a careful consideration to the feasibility of all-floors evacuation. Secondly, the extent to which a fire brigade knows information on an individual building is of cardinal importance. Moreover, regular fire drills based upon that information are equally crucial. Thirdly, an emergency management system, including reliable devices and a back-up system for fire fighting, needs to be established. There is a tendency to make heroes of the fire fighters who were made of victims of the WTC collapse. However, as there is a possibility that the lack of fire drills, together with an inadequate emergency management system, amplified the scale of tragedy, we have to consider this event from this point of view.

Inland waterway tourism in Europe has been nowadays developing from the 50s of the former century, inheriting the developed waterway transportation system. This paper aims to give an overview of this tourism, especially in France. The inland waterway tourism in France is based on three dimensions : "blue", "green" and "gray" At first, the blue dimension is the most basic element of this type of tourism, which is repesented by river cruise and leisure navigation in inland waterways. Then "green" dimension is concerned with the rural tourism practiced near the waterways. At last "gray" dimension represents the urban areas where waterways flow. These three dimensions constitute so called "le tourisme fluvial" in a wide sense. And this synthetic type of tourism can contribute to the regional development. The government and local governments are trying to promote this tourism.
