The purpose of this study is to examine the life history of the aid-giving local government using Kreps's "Structural code'', based on the case study of Kobe City's assistance to the affected municipality governments, after the occurrence of the Kumamoto Earthquake. We characterize the life history of the organization in terms of three system states: Origins, Maintenance, and Suspension of organization. In our analysis, the qualitative data of responders extracted from questionnaire surveys, interview surveys and workshops were adopted. The main results were that we unraveled several patterns within the life history of each bureau of the aid-giving organization. We also extracted issues with in the three system states.
