Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the 2011 Grate East Japan Earthquake disaster, there are three types of temporary housings, which are public housing, government-rented temporary housing (GRTH) units, and newly constructed prefabricated temporary housing complexes. Among them, the number of GRTH units is the largest one. The provision of temporary housing by renting of private rental housing is a policy that has been adopted officially for the first time. Therefore, many problems have been pointed out from both residents and supporters. This study is focusing on such GHTR dwellers, and analyzes their life recovery processes to extract the key factors for developing the optimal life recovery assistance programs. The authors have conducted 30 ethnographic interviews to the residents and analyzed the transcripts and several major characteristics were identified. Although the analysis in this study is still tentative, it would be still useful for developing optimal life recovery assistance programs for GRTH residents.
