Outline of Final Research Achievements

The principal investigator in this study modelled the social enterprises that played an active part in the disaster areas of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Moreover, I will provide an international comparison of the social enterprise model in future.As a result of this research, it has become clear that these social enterprises played a significant role in the disaster areas. For example, it became apparent that they have played a role in supporting communities, work, emigration, and personnel training by providing urgent support from time to time. However, the grants’time limitation in this research, the model construction of the social enterprise of the disaster areas understood that I needed further research as solutions for future disasters; this will be part of a future agenda.
Finally, three suggestions concerning the results of the case study can be recommended. However, it was found that further investigation is necessary for model building, which will become a future task.
