  • Studies on the Urban and Local Level Securement of Disaster Preparedness Functions of Coastal Cities and Towns After the Great Tohoku Earthquake
    Proceedings of International Symposium on City Planning 2013 Studies on the Urban and Local Level Securement of Disaster Preparedness Functions of Coastal Cities and Towns after the Great Tohoku Earthquake Nozomu Kiuchi* Abstract In the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, in Pacific coastal areas of Tohoku region in Japan, many of the public facilities such as fire department and municipal office, hospital, etc., were severely damaged by tsunami submergence and earthquake vibration. These facilities were supposed to function as disaster preparedness facilities in such occasions, and the result was such that many of the municipalities, during the crisis and the recovery process, lacked all or a part of the disaster preparedness functions and could not react to the situation autonomously. The main purpose of this study is, investigate, from city planning point of view, suggestions to locations and functions of disaster preparedness facilities, from studies of the Great Tohoku Earthquake experience. Many interviews, in addition to document investigations, in 4 tsunami-affected cities and towns were made to person in charge of these facilities on the deprivation and recovery process of the functions. This article will focus on the phenomenon, in urban and local level to secure disaster preparedness functions, that were clarified from investigation of 4 case study municipalities; Ishinomaki City, Minami-Sanriku Town, Ofunato City, and Kamaishi City. As a result, such types of responses were seen and the followings are the suggestion to disaster mitigation city planning. 1) Deprivation, substitution and relocation of functions. 2) Consolidation and dispersal of headquarter functions. 3) Hierarchy of stations for external disaster relief teams.
