Disccussion on Possible Recovery Problems in a case of Metroplitan Inland Earthquake Disaster and the Necessity of Pre-Dsaster Image Traning for Livelihood Recovery and Urban Reconstruction

Abstract

Tokyo Metropolitan Region has particular social and physical characteristics contrast to the other region, and the damage in case of an inland earthquake of M. 7.3 will be so huge as unexperienced. Therefore, process of recovery and urban reconstruction can be estimated to be completely different from the existing cases and some sort of preparation for the unknown problems will be neccessary. In this paper, we discuss the importance of understanding possible recovery process and problems and main standpoints of recovery and urban reconstruction. Moreover, we explain the outline of “Pre-disaster Image Traning for Livelihood Recvery and Urban Reconstruction” as a method of recovery scenario making. The same kind of methods will be socially needed for the forthcoming inland earthquake.
