Abstract
This paper aims to review the reconstruction process of organizational systems, lumber production systems, forest management systems of the Kamaishi Forestry Cooperative that were affected by the East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami and study the elements that are required for local communities to attain disaster resilience based on them. This case study, as previous studies did, identified the partnership between human networks and local communities as a crucial factor. It further found that the high standard of the cooperative's pre-disaster operations in lumber production and forest management prompted their reconstruction.
