Description

The Noto Peninsula Earthquake that struck the northern part of Ishikawa prefecture in March 2007 inflicted enormous damage in a depopulated area with an extremely elderly population. Based on periodic interviews with the disaster victims conducted by the life, residence and welfare research teams of Kanazawa University's Noto Peninsula Earthquake Research Committee, this study discusses changes in the victims' circumstances from the time of the earthquake to the present. In the affected areas, there have been occurrences or intensifications of a wide variety of livelihood problems (medical, welfare, employment, income and residence) to which social security programs should be applied. However, these problems have not been resolved even in the current situation in which the victims have already returned to live in their own residences and special public housing facilities. Surveying these facts, the study examines the significance of introducing the social science-based perspective of guaranteeing disaster victims' livelihoods and the significance of developing social security programs during peacetime. Lastly, the study presents lessons and challenges for the reconstruction of earthquake-hit areas, such as Noto Peninsula and Tohoku district, which are burdened with problems of depopulation and extremely elderly populations.
