Sommario/riassunto

This is the first book to present concrete ideas and suggestions for reconstruction and creation of a region after a great earthquake, which the authors of each chapter formulated from their analyses and experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake. In this book, analyses of the reconstruction period and stages of regeneration after a very large



earthquake are many-sided and are derived from the points of view of economics, mental health, social business, interregional risk-sharing system, city planning, housing, and industrial revival, as existing problems in the Tohoku area 7 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake. These problems are both “hard” (city reconstruction, housing, industrial regeneration) and “soft” (mental health care and quality of life). Several methods of analysis useful for research are provided, such as a means of estimating consumers’ evaluation of earthquake-proof conversion of housing and a way to capture risk sharing of firms theoretically. Most of the authors of this book were university staffs in the Tohoku area at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, did research in the Tohoku area, or were born in the area; thus they have extensive knowledge about the region and the effects of the Great Earthquake. For those reasons, the recommendations given in this book are concrete, realistic, and effective in problem solving.
