Outline of Final Research Achievements

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, many problems took place in the process of humanitarian logistics. In this study, we collect several kinds of records from the affected municipalities and try to quantify the amount of relief goods delivered. More concretely, we quantify the disparity of sufficiency level among affected municipalities and the share of goods supplied by each type of agents(e.g. government ministries, local municipalities, private firms, civil groups etc.). Our results is useful as a supporting evidence of various implications drawn from the other analysis such as questionnaire and hearing survey.
