The purpose of this study is to show the influence of several factors on the cost of information systems used for 17 municipal services. Multiple linear regression analysis, the dependent variable of which is the cost, is used for each information system. As a result, about all of information systems whose appropriate regression coefficients are significant, 1) general-purpose computer systems are not more expensive than client-server systems, 2) systems without the use of a software package are not more expensive than with the use of it. These findings are contrary to common belief. Additionally, there are differences of the impacts on the cost caused by the adoption of web systems and limited tendering procedures between municipal information systems.

In this paper, the reason why Japanese lack leadership ability and crisis management does not work is examined in terms of Japanese traditional thought. Then, we realize that Japanese have an excellent ability to solve the concrete problem in front of them. By combining these features properly, an effective society strong against a disaster can be created. Being asymmetry of information between the central and local governments, the usual political power structure should be overturned. The latter handles the restoration and the former supports the latter. This political structure works well by introducing the concept of Autonomous Decentralized Systems now used in industry. This approach may be quite effective as a policy when the social system suddenly collapsed.
