TRANSITION OF HOUSING LOCATION IN TSUNAMI-PRONE COASTAL AREAS IN IWATE PREFECTURE

Abstract

In order to make useful suggestions as to future tsunami urban recovery policies, the authors examined the transition of housing location in the damaged areas due to Sanriku Tsunamis in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. This paper analyzes the relationship between the situations of resettlement in higher land after the 1896 Tsunami and the building damage due to the 1933 Tsunami in those areas. Then, comparing the sequential aero photos after the 1933 Tsunami, it presents that the number of housing had increased in the coastal areas in the objective seven districts: Taro, Ryoishi, Katagishi, Kojirahama, Hongo, Kerobe, and Urahama. It also clarifies the reasons based on the field survey and interviews to residents.
