STUDY ON INFLUENCE THROUGH THE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOCUSING ON INTERANNUAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE FORMER COMMUNITY IN AWAJI AREA

- A case study of Shizuki district at old Tsuna-cho after the great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake -

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the transformation of the former community before and after the great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and the actual situation of the reconstruction project. The following results were obtained :
1. The former community was maintained by territorial bonding before and after the earthquake. And local activities , for example Danjiri festival, serve as opportunity for broad-based communication.
2. Although the reconstruction project is evaluated in terms of keeping the fundamental unit of the society , it leads up to some problems in term of local interaction.
3. The issue on decreasing opportunities of interaction within local activities due to the low birthrate and aging population in recent years can be discussed in the future.
