After the East Japan Great Earthquake, the role of the citizen disaster relief and reconstruction support has been expanded. The role of non-profit organizations has changed. Their role was originally limited to supporting the government’s disaster response but they now handle some of the government activity due to the increase in funds available and the establishment of a public-private partnership system.
On the other hand, many issues loom in the period of transition from relief to reconstruction. During this period, the type and degree of disaster relief activities will change significantly in the affected areas. Other than the conventional problems of how to continue such relief activities, there is also the emergence of the citizens’ increasing reliance on grant and subsidies which is a cause of concern.It became clear that there is a possibility for intermediary organizations to play an important role in solving these issues.

In this study, wide-area evacuees’ life reorganization as a result of the nuclear accident is analyzed as a process of fluctuation between the evacuees’ original community and the evacuation-site community. It is believed that even if evacuees leave their living space, they continue to have relationships with their original communities through their present life in their host communities.
For the past seven years, evacuees have been trying to stabilize their lives by using various supports while maintaining relationships with their original communities in the evacuation-site communities. The meaning of communities has changed as a result of wide-area and long-term evacuation. That is, the issue changed from loss of relationships and revitalization to relationships aimed at local revitalization. The mismatch between the evacuees’ fluctuations and reconstruction policies that promote returning to home communities makes the fragmentation of evacuees even more serious.

In this project, we analyze the process of recontiruction of houses and community from Great East Japan earthquake. We did research activities in Kamaishi city in Iwate Prefecture, Natori city and Iwanuma city in Miyagi Prefecture and Iwaki city in Fukushima Prefecture. We recognize municiparities, public support insutitutions, neiborhood groups,universities and vounteer groups as verious stakeholders and research their consensus building process which made formations or characteristics of constiruction. We find that consensus building are cocerned in habitants' needs and realized by their positive participation in the process of negotiation, these are the important factors to succeed proper construction.
And We investigate the situation of inhabitants mainly in the public collective houses by questioanire test. We find the active relationship between habitants is not yet regenerated and some serious problems in their mind and community for susutaining their life.

Main points that our research project clarified are as follows; (1)The whole situation on the widespread evacuation and support associated with Fukushima nuclear accident, (2)Visualization of the social process and structure related to evacuation and support which are hard to be visible, (3)New model of society and life-style in the post-transitional stage, (4)Comprehensive qualitative social research methodologies including visual research.
We were able to publish the research results of 30 points or more in total(including the DVD of sociological visual monograph) by this project.
