Abstract
The Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake had caused heavy damage on thousands of houses, mainly detached houses in rural areas. For these victims, prefabricated houses were supplied and emergency repairs were executed by local government. These emergency measures in temporary housing stage achieved the fixed effect, and it goes into the following stage to reconstruct permanent housing. In this paper, I assumed ways to reconstruct damaged houses based on damage levels and selected emergency measures, and pointed out some problems of reconstruction. In order to solve problems and to advance reconstruction, I proposed a new scheme applying a concept of securitization of real estate.
