A Research on the Characteristic of individual recovery on the Recovery Projects in Natori City : Analysis from 2015 Natori City Survey Data

Abstract

Recovery projects, such as the construction of resettlement sites at a hill or a raising the ground level at the lower grounds, has continued in the impacted area from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami to make a safer community. However, those big projects delay the reconstruction of housing and business of people in the affected area. This paper discusses 1) the relation between recovery projects and individual recovery status, and 2) who can be the main actors of recovery projects, through the analysis of questionnaire survey in Natori city, Miyagi. The key finding is observed that the recovery projects have a negative impact on people who reconstructed their homes in the project area.
