Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study repeatedly interviewed the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake about their life histories before the disaster and the process of rebuilding their lives afterward. It individually and concretely traced the dynamics of how the victims maintained, regenerated and reorganised their social ties in the course of their lives after the tsunami, which uprooted their previous livelihoods and forced them to relocate several times. The study also identified several typical patterns or typologies in these dynamic processes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

被災地という局地的異文化の中で幾度も移動を余儀なくされた被災者の生活再建を移住と類比し、その社会的紐帯の維持・再編過程を追うことによって移民研究の応用例として新たな地平を開いたことが本研究の学術的意義と言えよう。また、本研究は、被災者が実際に経験した様々な社会的紐帯のありようを具体的に提示しており、それは今後また起こる大規模自然災害時において、被災者自身にとっても支援側にとっても役に立つ参照事例となろう。
