Abstract

The Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) earthquake struck Japan in 1995, causing devastating damage to the economic landscape of South-central Japan. This study investigates how the earthquake enhanced participation in community activity. The key findings are: (i) people were more likely to participate in community activities in 1996 than in 1991; (ii) the effects of the earthquake on community participation decreased as the distance of one's place of residence increased from Kobe; and (iii) the earthquake significantly increased the community participation rate of Kobe residents, whereas it had no significant influence on the investment rate of residents of large cities close to Kobe.
