Next, we estimated passage rates of the evacuees over each road links around the beach. Then, we found that the respondents’ choises of evacuation direction and routes were unevenly, and so on.

This study aims to make clear factors promoting the recovery progress in the tourist industry in Oarai Town, Ibaraki where its recovery has been achieved earlier than other suffered areas by the East Japan Earthquake. Accommodation facilities were chosen as representative of the tourist industry of the town. The effectiveness of measures for recovery of the facilities is evaluated based on quantitative data through our questionnaire survey designed according to the result from preliminary interviews to managers of the facilities. We found that three factors contributed to the recovery in accommodation industry: firstly, tourist industry’s participation in pre-earthquake conventional events, sedondly, post-earthquake production of an Anime TV program which made the town a stage, and lastly, measures precisely aiming to regain the number of visiting tourists.
