This study summarizes the characteristics and design features of a section before and after a severe-disaster special emergency project is performed on the Tsukumi River, which aims to create a river space that people would wish to continue to live. The effect of this project on landscape improvement is discussed by clarifying the changes in local residents’ awareness and behavior through interview surveys. Consequently, the following are identified: 1) the residents’ evaluation of the development and the importance of cooperation among the project units and integrated development with the city; 2) the promotion of the desire to continue living in the area and civic pride through landscape conservation; and 3) the possibility that the special emergency project, which promotes landscape conservation and use, not only improves disaster preparedness but also contributes to mutual aid during emergency.
