| Research Abstract |
The post-disaster long-term recovery process of Chi-Chi Township was continuously observed and monitored by the investigation conducted in the research. As the results of the investigation, the following outcomes were produced.
1) The Spatial Reconstruction Model was proposed as a measure method to evaluate urban recovery process from the viewpoint of physical environment. In addition to the method, recovery curves in terms of building type (temporary housings, public facilities, rebuilt buildings, and new buildings) were constructed using the building certification data of Nanto County. The proposed methodologies will be essential for research into post-disaster recovery because it enables comparative studies related urban planning among different types of post-disaster recovery processes throughout the world.
2) This research aims toward a comprehensive theory of post-disaster recovery. In order to attain these purposes, the investigator conducted interviews with hundreds stakeholders in Chi-Chi and coded the oral descriptions as field notes, and compiled materials and information. Then, the following important schemes for the post-disaster research were provided: (1) general/detailed research questions, (2) systematized structure, and (3) viewpoints for evaluation. Also, Local History of Chi-Chi was translated to understand the social and historical backgrounds of Chi-Chi.
3) Another significance of the research is referring to how to record the post-disaster recovery process. In this study, Digital Chi-Chi City was constructed to record the reconstruction conditions of the damaged area and allow visitors to freely access a three-dimensional representation of the city on a digital model of Earth. Procedure conducted for it was demonstrated.
