Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the progress of restoration/reconstruction plan and changes in regional structure. As a result of this research and analysis, it was found that each municipality is regenerating existing urban areas around railway stations and government office, while newly developing unused land to create urban facilities that combine large-scale commercial and exchange functions. New urban facilities are being developed there for the purpose of reconstruction, and the exchange population for the purpose of sightseeing and inspection is flowing in. On the other hand, it has not built a relationship between the revitalization of offices and shopping districts that existed before the accident and the existing urban areas, including the transportation system. Toward true restoration and reconstruction, including the return of residents and the reconstruction of daily life, efforts and cooperation by each town and village have become issues.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では，原発事故からの復旧・復興期間を対象として，都市・地域計画の観点よりその実態と課題にアプローチしたものである。原発事故による避難指示や帰還困難の状況が続くことによる住民の日常生活やコミュニティの喪失に関する調査・研究は社会学の分野をはじめ数多くみることができる中で，事故発生前の地域構造をふまえて人口や産業の構造変化やそれに伴う空間構造の変化にアプローチしたことは，原発事故の影響についてのデータを記録・蓄積するとともに今後の計画策定にむけて貴重な資料になるものということができる。また，帰還率や回復率といった復興を評価する指標の検証にもつながり，真の復興にむけて大きな意義があると考える。
