Abstract
The Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred on March 11, 2011, was a natural catastrophe. The triple disaster of the earthquake, tsunami, and the nuclear plant accident devastated a range of facilities in the Tohoku area. The government should provide appropriate assistance and establish the required systems for reconstruction, but the prospect of revitalizing the disaster-affected regions is still uncertain. In the autumn of 2011, I and some researchers conducted in Sendai, where is a base city of the revival. Using this data, I examine about the background of the evaluation of the reconstruction policy. I found that the evaluation of the policy performance of the local government is higher than that of central government and the person that damage is heavy tends to have low opinion of reconstruction policy performance.
