Abstract
A questionnaire survey was conducted in the Jinnai District, Kumamoto City, where several relocations occurred due to river improvement following damage caused by the Northern Kyushu Rain Storm Disaster in July 2012. In their responses to the survey, many of the remaining households reported that they were dissatisfied with the number of relocated units, especially those who were affected by the disaster. In addition, it is thought that a large number of the remaining households continue to worry about flood damage because the river channel has approached the residences of the remaining households even after the renovation. In addition, among the relocated households, half wanted to remain when they were asked to relocate at the beginning, but following negotiations, many of them were convinced to relocate. The reason for this may be that the relocated households received sufficient compensation. Other findings suggest that a certain number of relocated households have selected inundationrisk locations as relocation destinations and are unfamiliar with the post-relocation area.
