Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research project is to clarify the role of external volunteers to recover the relationships of local residents and the main factors to recover the resident's sense in disaster area.
The Great East Japan Earthquake is considered as a wide area disaster. It needed a support not only from the South but also from the North. The Hirosaki city which our University is standing is located in the north of the stricken area. Universities have students and special knowledges. During our volunteer activities, we have heard lot of voices of the local survivors. They wanted to record the old memories. They were willing to know more about others' states and really wanted to be delivered their voices to the local government. Because of this, we did a research process to support volunteers' activity. The research is including life history interview, the survey of resident's sentiment, current situation, and the discovery of the regional resources and advantages.
