２ ） Overview of Research Activities	 (1)A study of run-away actions from the Tohoku region Pacific Tunami disasterA run away action had made a significant role after the Tohoku region Pacific Tunami disaster. However cabinet
office government of Japan surveyed those actions, it was not enough to inquiry reaction of designated person e.g.
case workers and community leaders.
In this study, interview surveys were dedicated in Noda-village, Yamada-town and Ishinomaki-city.

(2)A study of a pre-disaster planning for post-disaster recovery
The building loss of the Tokyo capital earthquake directly above the focus was estimated five times bigger than the
Hanshin-Awaji earthquake according to cabinet office government of Japan. It is inevitable to make and do mitigation
strategy for not only directly loss like death and injured but also indirectly loss like housing damage. In this study, I
supposed to make planning technology for disaster-proof community development.
In fiscal year 2011, firstly community workshops for post-disaster recovery in Bessyo district, Hachiouji-city wereplanned and managed especially focused on some community-help until life activities restored. Secondary an action
research on the 13th municipal staff training by TMG was done.

(3)Development of learning programs for high school students to encourage disaster imagination andreaction capacity
After the Tohoku region Pacific Tunami disaster, there were a lot of students in Tokyo who could not go back tohome until next day because of railways and bus service were stopped. It is necessary to prepare those immediate
actions on a high school among a local government, a school office, a community and each family unit.
In this project, it is aimed that high school students could make adequate actions after a big earthquake disaster.
In this fiscal year, interviews to an administration of education and the leading workshops in Tanashi industrial highschool were put into practice.

2. Overview of Research Activities in 2011FY
Study on policy making in local governments and citizen participation in local assemblies
In this investigation of policy making dynamics in Japanese local governments, I have focused on
citizen participation in local assemblies. In 2011FY, I analyzed the relationship between citizen
participation in the assemblies and policy development/policy initiatives introduced by theassemblies through the politimetric method, using national survey data on local assemblyreformation. (I was a member of the research group that led this national survey; a citizen advocacy
group, the Local Assembly Reformation Forum, conducted it.) My research found thatreform-enhancing structures differed between legislation enacted by the assemblies themselves andpolicy changes made in response to executive initiatives.
Study on relevancy of random sampling-type citizen participation methods for disputed policy issues
in municipal governments
I investigated the relevancy and ways of using citizen participation methods, in which participants
are selected randomly from the basic resident register (recently called “Mini-publics”), in thehandling of disputed policy issues in municipal governments. To accomplish action research, thisyear I joined the management team for the “Public Discussion Meeting for the Second Shinjuku City
Implementation Plan” of Shinjuku ward, Tokyo. Its participants were all residents of the ward who
were randomly selected. I also conducted survey research in all the municipalities of Saitama
prefecture on how they implement program reviews, especially how “Mini-publics” citizen
participation methods are being used in the reviews. The research report will be published inJapanese in the monthly journal JICHIKEN in May 2012.
