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

2011年3月11日，日本东部大地震(Geje)和核电站严重事故改变了我们的研究目的和实施。修改后的研究方案是对吉林省吉林省受灾地区的街头商户进行调研。我们的研究结果认为，“宜行宜居的城市规划”的重要性得到了更大的认同。除了社区的经济活动外，商业街传统上也承担着在地震灾害发生时为当地居民提供商品和服务等对社区的活动责任。除此之外，当地商人还参与清理废墟、净化活动、临时食品援助、向灾民捐赠等。当地商人也认识到复苏阶段水、气、电、汽油等生命线基础设施的重要性。

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.
