Abstract

<p>The Sichuan Earthquake that occurred in 2008, devastated Qushan Town, the former Beichuan County seat, destroying 80% of the buildings. The central government decided to give up on-site reconstruction of Qushan, and the affected citizens were relocated to Yongchang: a newly constructed city established in a geologically safer area 24 km south of the original town. The study focused on the decision-making process by examining official reports, and analyzed its relationships with overall restoration plans. As a result, it was discovered that the relocation plan was heavily influenced by the overall restoration plans and pre-existing land-use planning policies in China. Additionally, several issues were discovered through field investigation such as the disharmony of urban functions and the lifestyle of locals, the social decline in some districts due to the excessive large-scale urban planning, and regional disparity due to the difference in the scale of assistances.</p>
