International research on disaster recovery processes in intermediate and mountainous areas hit by Taiwan Chi-Chi, Niigata Chuetsu, and Sichuan earthquakes

我们对台湾集集、新泻中越、四川地震的中间山区进行了一系列“纵向定点观测”和“截面案例比较”，考察了其恢复过程。我们对未来灾后恢复获得了以下理论和实践成果：中介的功能和功能障碍、灾区交流的意义、媒介灾害形象的形成、配对支持体系的作用、灾区向商业化旅游点转变的陷阱、现代化背景下灾区恢复的意义。

We conducted a series of" longitudinal fixed-point observations" and" cross-sectional case comparisons" in intermediate and mountainous areas hit by Taiwan Chi-Chi, Niigata Chuetsu, and Sichuan earthquakes and examined their recovery processes. We obtained the following theoretical and practical findings for future disaster recovery : Functions and dysfunctions of intermediary, significance of exchange among disaster fields, formation of disaster image via media, effects of paring-support system, traps of changing disaster fields to commercialized tourist points, and meaning of disaster recovery in the context of modernization.
