Outline of Final Research Achievements

Regarding the practical potential of ‘small-local community’ that enables the recovery from natural disasters as ‘culture of experiencing disaster’, this study aims to explore the practical potential of multiple and flexible knowledge created by community in coping with potential risk of natural disasters. To clarify the multiple mechanism of ‘culture of experiencing disaster, we reinterpreted the data that were collected in our field research and added new ones so that we can establish an usable database for further research.
