Since April in 1995, Sumiyoshi Supporters' Group for Restoration has periodically surveyed the conditions of damage and restoration in Sumiyoshi District, Higashinada Ward and it has also supported the rehabilitation of this district. Through these activities, they found these problems concerning Machizukuri:

Tsutomu Shigemura,Kobe University
K-27
1) "Too much demolition at public expense"
Because of demolition at public expense in addition to collapse, many single-family houses on small properties and multi-family units in densely built-up areas were gone. We can guess that if there had been a system like "JUTAKU KOGITTE SYSTEM" in America where people could choose between repair, demolition and reconstruction or relocation, many more people would have repaired their houses.
2) "Wood frame houses cannot be replaced"
1300 buildings out of about 3600 buildings collapsed in an area of 130ha from Yamate Kansen to Route 43 and reconstruction of 407 buildings started as of December, 1995. At the site where 14 Nagaya (row-houses) were, one was rebuilt as a Nagaya (row-house) again, and one was turned into a non-wood frame joint house. At the site where 12 wooden apartment houses were, one was turned into a Nagaya and 7 into non-wood frame joint houses. So the number of wood frame houses tends to be fewer.
3)"Temporary houses and public substitute houses account for one quarter."
