 The activities of the machizukuri for restoration after the Earthquake have been conducted independently in various aspects mainly in the White Zone where the Administrative support is poor. As these activities by residents and the consultants are conducted without pay basically, but the activities should be continuously performed, the administrative support is needed. Also on the Administrative side, as the machizukuri for restoration are based on the projects and the systems before the Earthquake, various supporting strategies in the White Zone and other areas are required.
 The fund for machizukuri for restoration was established to cope up with these conditions, which has become indispensable to promote the machizukuri for restoration.
