Outline of Final Research Achievements

We conducted a range of surveys on the process of the life reconstruction of those affected by 2011 Great East Earthquake and tsunami in Iwate and Miyagi.　First, by interview with affected people by tsunami, we described their 3/11 experiences, change of life conditions, desires for housing and community. Second, by a questionnaire survey of about 300 college students, we examined their 3/11 experiences, volunteer activities, motivation for active learning, and their feelings about the reconstruction of Tohoku.
