| Research Abstract |
In this research we sampled 100 households from heavily damaged urban areas in Kobe and Awajishima. We researched these households every year from 1995 through to 1997. Facts which we found from these panel researches are as follows.
1. Half of the numbers of households which were living in these areas before the earthquake returned to their former residence during these 3 years. However the half of the households could not come back to their previous homes. Especially those who used to live in the rented apartment hourses are forced to leave their previous residences.
2. We found two patterns of the process of reconstruction. One of the two patterns is self-helping type which means families reconstruct their houses on their own. The other is government-supported type which means families get their houses or apartments provided by local and national governments. The former pattern covers 60% of the households and the latter 40%.
We must continue to analyze the data to find out some general tendencies in these behavior patterns and we also hope to establish a sociological theory on disaster.
