This study focuses on the differences in the pre-disaster recovery plans and relocation to higher ground in 11 of the 19 coastal cities and towns in Wakayama Prefecture, in terms of the planning system and the status of the plans as statutory plans. The purpose of this paper is to understand the actual status of pre-disaster recovery planning in 9 municipalities in Wakayama Prefecture, and to investigate the formulation system and issues that have led to the differences. By doing so, the paper aims to contribute to future discussions on "how pre-disaster recovery plans should be developed in consideration of population decline and highly uncertain tsunami disasters such as the Nankai Trough great earthquake" and "how to make them more effective".
