AT THE FACULTY OF SPATIAL PLANING OF THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DORTMUND DECEMBER 2016 ACKNOWLEDGMENT “It is complicated.” This is one of the phrases that I heard most frequently throughout my research in Tohoku Region. It referred to the reconstruction process, but can equally be applied to the endeavor of writing a dissertation. It was complicated to find an appropriate research topic. It was complicated to collect and understand the required data (mainly written in a foreign language) and to comprehend the complex processes that took and take place in Tohoku Region to recover from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.
