災害復興における「立て直し」志向と「世直し」志向

抄録

Based on cultural psychiatrists’ argument, we distinguished two different social orientations toward disaster rehabilitation: recovery-oriented vs. social reform-oriented thinking. The former, which is more conservative way of thinking, aims at getting restored to former state after the disaster by preserving the continuity of social conditions in the past. The latter, which is more revolutionary way of thinking, aims at bringing a fundamental social reform in the future by regarding the disaster damage as a spring board to renew a society. It is discussed that the two orientations have both positive and negative aspects, so that a good balance between the two extremes is important to realize successful disaster revitalization.
