Economic Geography of Revised Machizukuri Three Laws and Walkable Town in Non-Metropolitan Area

2011年3月11日发生的东日本大地震和核电站严重事故改变了我们研究的目的和实施。我们改变了研究计划，利用GEJE对受灾地区的街头商铺商户进行了研究调查。研究结果表明，“适宜步行和宜居的城市规划”的重要性得到了更强烈的认可。与社区的经济活动一样，商业街在地震灾害发生时也一直承担着为当地居民提供商品和服务等社区活动的责任。除此之外，当地商人还在清理废墟，进行净化活动，提供临时食品援助，向受害者捐款。当地商人也认识到水、气、电、汽油等生命线基础设施在恢复阶段的重要性。

Our research purpose and implementation are changed by the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and a nuclear power station severe accident on March 11, 2011. Our changed research plan was carried out research survey of street shop merchant in the affected area with GEJE. It was considered that an importance of "walkable and livable town planning" is recognized more strongly from our research results. As well as economic activities of the community, shopping street has traditionally been keeping such responsibility of activities to the community as providing of goods and services to local residents at emergence of earthquake disaster. In addition to this, local merchant contributes to be cleaning up rubble, activity to decontamination, temporary food aiding, donating to victim. Local merchant also recognized the important of lifeline infrastructure such as water, gas, electricity and gasoline at stage of recovery.
