| Research Abstract |
Seventy percent of the land mass of Japan is designated "hilly and mountainous areas." Many of the small villages in these areas are rapidly aging and becoming depopulated. Also, many of the villages have a high risk of becoming isolated in the event of a natural disaster. Measures to build up community strength in these villages must be taken before any disaster occurs with a view toward facilitating the post-disaster recovery process. This study takes a multifaceted approach that includes factors from ethnology, sociology, finance, architecture, and other fields. This comprehensive approach is directed at discovering useful criteria for reducing risk prior to a disaster occurring in the villages in hilly and mountainous areas. In particular, we sought to rediscover and use traditional wisdom and devices employed in the running of the villages, called "folk mechanisms ," as a way to rebuild community strength.
