Abstract
The Inset-type disaster prevention group relocation promotion project was evaluated as a reconstruction project after the Great East Japan Earthquake and is expected to be utilized in the future. For this project, it is essential to coordinate among local residents in collaboration with local organizations and the local government. The objective of this study was to clarify the planning process of the Inset-type disaster prevention group relocation promotion project in the Okirai district of Ofunato City in Japan, focusing on the characteristics and roles of the local community. As a result, it was pointed out that the project was made possible by the contribution of the hierarchical community structure, especially in the early stages of the project, and with the importance of public-private partnerships that take into account the structure of the local community.
