Abstract
This paper explains how the people set up a personal network in their community when they had to transfer into a newly developed circumstances. Through a research work we did in 1999, include 30 interviews of residents who live in a newly built Large-scaled Public Housing Estate developed by the Hansin-Awaji Earthquake Reconstruction program.
The main findings I'd like to explain in this paper are 1) Residents, especially aged ones, prefer to communicate not with the neighbors in a new housing estate, but with their friends who were next doors before the disaster. 2) The data show a different tendency when they keep company with their neighbors between residents who concerned with their autonomous association as an officer and the others.
That is why, it might be necessary to use the community system like autonomous association more practically, incase of Community formation in a Large-scaled Public Housing Estate.
