Recently, natural disasters caused by linear precipitation zones in Japan have recurred in the same region shortly after the initial disaster. During recovery from disasters, many local governments are overwhelmed by the restoration of infrastructure in the public sector. However, since we do not know when the next disaster will occur, community outreach through soft-type measures needs to be considered and developed from the recovery stage based on the lessons learned from the initial disaster. This study explored the relationship between local government measures for community outreach and their agility, using the case of Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. The study also examines the local government’s adaptive governance in policy-making and implementing countermeasures immediately after the initial disaster.

摘要

Recently, natural disasters caused by linear precipitation zones in Japan have recurred in the same region shortly after the initial disaster. During recovery from disasters, many local governments are overwhelmed by the restoration of infrastructure in the public sector. However, since we do not know when the next disaster will occur, community outreach through soft-type measures needs to be considered and developed from the recovery stage based on the lessons learned from the initial disaster. This study explored the relationship between local government measures for community outreach and their agility, using the case of Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. The study also examines the local government’s adaptive governance in policy-making and implementing countermeasures immediately after the initial disaster.
