This study aims to discuss the spatial issues of disaster recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake. Focused on tsunami-damaged regions, this study examines how major regional development issues have been dealt with. In the case study areas, the following ideal spatial methodologies have been suggested for tsunami recovery: building a compact city, intensifying fishing villages, and making a sustainable city. However, as the spatial restructuring have encountered practical barriers, reconstruction has been delayed, and the regional decline have been accelerating. To prevent regional decline which is inevitable after a disaster, this paper suggests that the area of disaster studies should be expanded to long-term recovery process beyond emergency response.

Optics & Photonics 전시관 앞바다에 거대한 풍차가 힘차게 돌아가면서 풍력발전을 하고 있는데 이는 대참사를 극복하고 부흥하는 일본의 미래를 예견하고 있는 듯 했다. 대지진, 쓰나미, 원전사고라는 3대 재해가 큰 충격을 주고 있는 와중에 지난 4월 20일부터 22일까지 파시피코 요코하마에서 열린 이번 전시회는 대일 수출상담, 최신 광학기술 정보수집과 급변하는 일본 현지상황을 파악할 수 있는 좋은 기회가 되었다. 피해지역 주민들이 침착함을 잃지 않고 질서정연한 모습을 보여주면서 "남에게 절대로 폐를 끼치지 않는다는 메이와 쿠(미혹(迷惑)) 정신"이 세계 언론의 스포트라이트를 받았다. 원전사고가 초래한 심각한 전력난은 일본의 전력계획을 대대적으로 개혁시켜서 향후 일본 산업이 새롭고, 더욱 강력하게 일어설 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the linkage between Si-Jeong-Chon (municipalities of Japan) catastrophic disaster recovery-regeneration plan (DRRP) and regional comprehensive plan (RCP), each of which was made after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and to make implications on establishment of a disaster recovery plan of Korea. In order to explore the relationship between the two plans, the DRRPs and RCPs of 30 municipalities are collected and categorized according to their characteristics. The results show that DRRPs of the municipalities are not always in a consistent form and contents because regulations and guidelines on DRRP are not definite and specific. The relationship between DRRP and RCP in terms of its form and contents can be divided into 3 categories; Reflective Type (RT), Complementary Type (CT), and Substitutive Type (ST). The 22 RT plans as the majority of those DRRPs appear to reflect the development strategies of municipalities' RCPs. Both 3 CT plans and 5 ST plans seem to be integrated with RCPs in some way. The plan in CT of a municipality supplements its RCP by adding some new strategies to its recovery section and the plan in ST of a municipality appears to replace its RCP. Finally the influential factors which are considered to determine linkage type are identified as remaining time which is legally required to re-establish its RCP, the extent of damage, and socioeconomic condition changes.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.4 occurred on November 15, 2017 in Pohang, which caused the damage to buildings and facilities. The earthquake displaced more than 1,700 people. After the Pohang Earthquake, immediate emergency, such as the damage survey and running of shelters have been executed appropriately. However there have been issues with subsequent restoration measures, such as the provision of temporary housing and delivery of natural disaster allowance. As there was inadequate government advertisement about the natural disaster allowance, victims of the earthquake could not receive tangible help. In Japan on the other hand where earthquakes are frequent, post-earthquake restoration protocols are planned well in advance. For example, Japanese earthquake victims are provided with a guidebook outlining different types of government aids available for them so that they can rapidly access government aid. In this study, we refer to the case of Pohang earthquake to analyse the problems in the national earthquake restoration plans and propose how they can be improved by comparing it to Japanese post-earthquake case and a Korean equivalent should be developed, to aid Korean earthquake victims to return to their every life as soon as possible.
