After the Hanshin-Awaji great earth quake, the problem that the government should compensate for personal property is causing debate. The Japanese government has refused to compensate for personal property from the era of Meiji. However, the idea that the government should compensate for personal houses is becoming popular, and some local governments make virtual compensation. On the basis of these situations, firstly we will first explain the recent moves in personal compensation, and then will think of the constitutional rationale and financial reasons which make compensation for personal properties difficult. Furthermore, after presenting the current situation in America, we would like to propose a new assistance system in Japan.
