It has been two years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. Although there are some differences in progress, the specific reconstruction projects have been carried out in each disaster area. Especially, the housing project is a major factor that affects a town development of the disaster areas in the future as it is directly related to disaster victims' life.
In this paper, the actual condition and issues of rebuilding homes for disaster victim are discussed through collaborating with Hakozaki District Reconstruction Development Committee in Kamaishi City of Iwate Prefecture, as well as conducting two surveys on local intentions about rebuilding homes as the subjects.
This paper summarizes the followings.
1) Due to the fact that the district residents who are living in temporary housings are scattered, it is difficult to collect their intentions. Especially, in the medium-sized disaster district, collecting local intentions is more difficult.
2) It was predicted that the residents would lose their intention to go back to their prior residences as the time passed by. However, the residents of Hakozaki district expressed a strong wish to rebuild their homes in where they lived as many of them are fishermen or have lived there for a long time.
3) Regarding a housing style, many of them showed an intention to own a single-family house. However, after specific procedures such as federal funding qualification for rebuilding homes have been manifested, their intention shifted to public housing.
4) There is a difference in the desired living environment between the residents who are living in Hakozaki district and the residents in the temporary housings outside the district. As a result, some wish to go back to their prior residence while others don't.

In this paper, it analyzed that the renewable energy policies in the Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Plan by 41 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima Prefecture. As a result, many municipalities have the policy that became apparent overemphasis on electricity. The major reason is thought to be caused by the start of the Feed-in Tariff. However, the disaster area have many heat demands, the municipalities should focus on the use of renewable heat. Another problem, many municipalities wants to accept involved projects by large-scale capital in the disaster area. The municipalities should create an endogenous type business for economically and socially independence at the reconstruction phase.
