| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kesennuma City was one of the most heavily damaged regions in Miyagi Prefecture, where more then thousand people were died by the tsunami and fire caused after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and 222 people are still missing. Kesennuma City is famous for fisheries, especially bonito and pacific saury. However, 2667 people worked primarily at the fishery in Kesennuma City in 2005, only 7.4% of the total employees. Many food processing factories concentrated in the center of Kesennuma were totally destroyed, most of which were located on the reclaimed land. I analyzed old land uses of the tsunami disaster area in the city center using an old topographical map in 1913, which is the oldest modern one in this area. The result showed that 49%, 18%, 10%, 8% and 6.9% of affected area was rice paddy, water body, conifer forest, urban area and coast, respectively. Most of water body should be reclaimed from the sea and conifer forest should consist of pine trees along the coast.
