东日本大地震后，虽然六县的海啸农田面积扩大了21,480多公顷，但恢复工作进展顺利，到2014年耕地面积扩大到15,060公顷。本文旨在阐明农田恢复现状以及影响农业恢复的因素。本文以陆前高田市大友地区和邻近的广田地区为例。在大友地区和广田地区，大多数家庭都从事农业和渔业，尽管他们通常选择渔业作为主要的赚钱活动。因此，他们只能依靠生产性农民（在一个地区实际从事农业的农民）和社区农场合作社来继续耕种。农民要求实施与恢复相关的农田整理项目，以建立生产性农民和社区农场合作社的基础。尽管达成了合并农田的协议，但两个地区的农业结构有所不同。大友地区的水田集中且面积大，因此农田可以有效地用于生产性农民的经营。所有农民都期望，复耕要靠生产性农民。另一方面，广田地区的水田分散且面积较小。此外，居民点与农田和渔村分开，区内没有生产性农民。因此，农民希望在社区农场合作社中分担角色。因此，大友县和广田县由于地域结构的差异，做出了不同的选择。
Though tsunami-hit farmland extended over 21,480 hectares (ha) in six prefectures after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the recovery work proceeded smoothly, and the area under cultivation expanded to 15,060 ha by 2014. This paper aims to clarify the current status of farmland restoration and the factors affecting farming resumption. The paper uses the cases of Otomo district and contiguous Hirota district in Rikuzentakata City.In Otomo and Hirota districts, most households carry on both farming and fishing, although they usually choose fishing as the main money-making activity. Therefore, they have had to rely on bearer-farmers (farmers who actually conduct the agriculture in an area) and the community-based farm cooperatives to continue farming. The farmers demanded a recovery-related farmland-consolidation project to establish the foundations of the bearer-farmers and the community-based farm cooperative. The structure of farming differs between the two districts, in spite of the agreement to consolidate the farmland. Paddy fields in Otomo district are grouped and cover large plots, so the farmland can be used efficiently for bearer-farmers’ businesses. All farmers expect that resumption of farming will rely on bearer-farmers. On the other hand, paddy fields in Hirota district are dispersed and small in plot size. Furthermore, settlements are separated from farmlands and fishing villages, and there are no bearer-farmers in the district. Therefore, farmers expect to share roles in the community-based farm cooperative. Thus, Otomo and Hirota districts are making different choices due to the difference in their regional structures.
