Abstract

As a result, (1) this paper showed to classify the values of disaster remains into five categories, "historical value", "educational value", "memorial value" ,"value as a local resource", and "economical value". (2) This paper suggested that those who were more experienced the disaster and were familiar to the disaster remains had a relatively high proportion of the weights of "historical value" and "educational value". On the other hand, this paper suggested that those who were less experienced the disaster and were less familiar to the disaster remains had a relatively high proportion of the weights of "memorial value", "values as a local resource", and "economical value". (3) This paper showed that those who were more experienced the disaster and were familiar to the disaster remains had a relatively high benefit to the preservation of disaster remains.
