It is said that evacuation shelters reflect the local community before the disasters. However, the existence and formation of communities has a major impact not only immediately after a disaster, but also on recovery and reconstruction.
In the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that occurred in 1995, community functions had a major impact on the recovery of the affected areas. In urban areas, there is a certain percentage of tenants. They are not able to participate in the reconstruction of apartment buildings and residential areas, which creates problems of urban disasters.
In the 2004 Niigata Chuetsu earthquake, there were cases where settlements were able to relocate together and cases where they had to disperse.
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, mass relocations and land readjustment projects were carried out in areas affected by the tsunami, resulting in major changes to communities.
Not only do disasters weaken community functions in affected areas, but building new communities in newly developed residential areas and public housing for disaster is a major problem.
When considering future major disasters, it is important not only to maintain existing communities, but also to consider new ways of building and developing communities.
