This study aims to clarify the unique local housing reconstruction public subsidy systems which were developped after the 2000 Tottoriken-Seibu Earthquake. An interview survey was conducted on the affected local governments in Tottori Prefecture and local builders' offices.Then questionnaires were sent out on residents who got the public subsidies for rebuilding or repairing their damaged houses.As a result following issues were pointed out; #1 The deadlines for application and getting the subsidy were too tight for residents to finish all reconstruction work. #2 The subsidy procedures were complicated for residents with less information．#3 There were some differences between city or town governments in application rules and subsidy standards.
