Figure1 Disaster Recovery Concept

The followings are the two disaster recovery theories used for this study.
１) Theoretical framework 1
Disasters contribute to change, they do so primarily by accelerating trends that are already underway prior to impact ＜Bates et al.（1963）; Bates(1982); Bates and Peacock (1993)＞＜Haas et al.（1977）＞

２) Theoretical framework 2
Disaster Recovery Process is influenced by
① Devoted aid volume from outside society
② Disaster scale
③ Community strength(Social System Strength) ＜Hirose（1982）＞

The first theory is confirmed by some cases. You can see the following figures such as Kanto earthquake, Fukui earthquake, Typhoon Isewan in Japan, and Hurricane Katrina in US.
