ABSTRACT

This study aimed to examine the changes in life zone in Miyagi Prefecture after the Great East Japan Earthquake. It reviewed the changes in population and trade area, and vehicle traffic patterns after the Earthquake in order to identify the changes in regional system. In so doing, it explored new urban system construction for Miyagi and made suggestions for the restoration of urban system destroyed by the natural disaster. Through the strategic development of Miyagi, it is required to enhance the efficiency of restoration and reconstruction. In short term, a strategy of selection and concentration is recommended to select restoration bases, restore them first and then expand the effect of restoration to other areas rather than to try to restore and recover all the affected areas at the same time. According to the analysis of urban system of Miyagi, Miyagino-ku(宮城野区), Ishinomaki(石巻市), and Kesennuma(気仙沼市) can be selected as restoration bases. Tomiya(富谷町) and Taiwa(大和町) in Miyagi have not only good urban infra to build a new town but also good conditions of location so that the victims can be relocated. In the long run, it is imperative to establish a new regional system by developing the north area of Sendai including the center of Sendai, Tomiya, and Taiwa as a new growth axis of Tohoku Region.
