Now (16 years later after Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake), the Land readjustment project is finished. Along with Infrastructure was completed. The rate of population recovery is 51%-124%. But damaged areas (especially low rise area, Nagata and Hyogo Ward) now have a lot of vacant space.
This study aims to evaluate the building reconstruction in the readjustment area and clearly which groups returned based on building use and tenure. All occupants were surveyed in Misuga West district, which had experienced land readjustment. The main points results as follows: 1. 27.4% of former residents and shop and factory which buildings were damaged were able to return. When the earthquake happened, 80.0% of them wanted to come back. 2. Tenant occupants can't rebuild without support from some other organization. 3. 79.7% of occupants who returned town built private temporary houses. 4. After earthquake 16 years later, 47.9% of people are former occupants, which means 52.1% came into the area after the earthquake.
Community make-up and the pattern of roads and blocks changed at high speed. For the community, the population recovery is important but who is returning is more important .For a community to recover, it is important that residents are not displaced during reconstruction.
