Earthquake and Disaster Impact Studies

Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the victims in the area, where their house ownership rate was far higher than the rented house one, have used the housing lease program for disaster victims. To examine their moving process, housing conditions and housing reconstruction trend, we conducted questionnaire surveys and interviews on residents have living in Ofunato City under this program through the disaster. We obtained the following results. (1)Many residents were able to acquire housing in the same or surrounding school district as where they lived before the disaster. (2)Many residents got the house with the help of relatives or acquaintances and some did so through real estate agents. (3)The victims living in the old houses experienced stress with the bad living environment and some repaired their old houses paying their own expenses. (4)They want to build their new houses near the original home locations both in city area and in coast area.
