Time Series Study on Housing Reconstruction Process after the Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake Regional Comparison of Higashinada, Kobe and Hokudan District, Awaji

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to compare and verify the housing reconstruction process over 20 years for general urban areas and agricultural and fishing villages where there are many traditional wooden houses. In this research, we focus on the wooden houses that suffered severe damage in the Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake and the specialty such as roofing tile culture and wooden culture of Awajishima. The Specificity of the Hokudan district, a strong intention to "roofing tiles" and "wooden houses", had a great influence on the roofing material, building structure, and the number of floors of houses during the housing reconstruction process. Also, the difference between general urban areas and agricultural and fishing villages affected the parking lot, the use of buildings, and the housing type.
