The planning of resilient housing and community against the earthquake and tsunami

paradigm shift of disaster prevention plan for tsunami caused by the Nankai trough earthquake

Abstract

Utilization of a vacant house as the second homebase for smoothing environmental transition to post massive tsunami　　 For the areas where the serious tsunami damage caused by the Nankai trough earthquake is assumed, utilization of vacant houses on the hill area as the second homebase is suggested for recovery from the earthquake disaster, reconstruction of their lives and sustainable community. Even if, in the conventional disaster prevention plan, the life that is to be protected, however, in primary refuge and uniform temporary housing their living is forced to “with nothing but the clothes on their back”. In contrast, finding a second place keeping an important thing for the family or the place that can continue life after the suffering is significant for lubricating environmental transition.
