Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project clarifies the “mechanism” of property transfer and regeneration program after Hurricane Katrina and self-help housing reconstruction with relocation after the Great East Japan Earthquake based on continues field survey and evaluation analysis of post-disaster recovery program by local government. The “mechanism” includes that how has property transfer and regeneration program function to promote built environment recovery in New Orleans, and decision-making process and its spatial characteristics of self-help housing reconstruction with relocation in Tohoku region. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of built environment planning techniques which mobilizes self-sustained and resilient housing reconstruction actions by survivors and non-survivors. At the same time, it points out the significance and its challenges of spatial guidance for aggregation of self-help housing reconstruction which should be designed based on the urban vision.
