Considering immense damage by great earthquake, pre-disaster planning for post-disaster recovery is vital for the disasterresillent community. From this point of view, we designed neighborhood community-training program for post-disaster recovery applied of the participation method for community-based development (Machidukuri). Our team were involved to develop and manage one program held in Shinkoiwa (Katsushika ward, Tokyo) during November 2004 to April 2005. In this paper, backgrounds of target neighborhood community and implemented program were explained. After that, questionnaire survey to participants who contained residents, civil servants and practitioners was analyzed to measure the impact of this program. Finally, a position of the program among disaster reduction policies were discussed.
