Outline of Final Research Achievements	The findings of this research project supported the hypothesis that local academic institutions had so far failed to demonstrate the intermediate function in mutual understanding and consensus building between local residents and external actors in the process of disaster recovery and rehabilitation in Aceh. The text mining analysis conducted jointly with one of the local academic institutions in Aceh, namely Syiah Kuala University, revealed that there had been clear differences in the attitudes of external actors: the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Agency (BRR), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Oxfam International. The results of the text mining analysis quantitatively verified the potential effectiveness of the intermediate function that local academic institutions in Aceh could have fulfilled at the time of rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究課題では、実際に現地の学術研究機関と国際共同研究の枠組みを作り、災害復興等の過程で現地の学術研究機関が果たし得る媒介機能について、フィールド調査を通した実証的な分析を実施した。アチェの災害復興・防災教育に関する研究において、調査データに対してテキストマイニング分析や構造方程式モデリングといった定量的アプローチ（多変量解析）を用いた例はこれまでにほとんどなく、本研究がアチェの災害復興に関する定量的なエビデンスの提供、及び、エビデンスに基づく政策形成（evidence-based policy making）の実現に向けた新展開に対し、多大な貢献を果たすことができたものと思料される。
