Research on Community Formation after- the Great East Japan Earthquake Consideration on Community Challenges in Life Issues including Public Renaissance Collective Housings especially with Newspaper Articles Analysis

The aim of our research is to obtain suggestions on community challenges in life issues and on community formation based on these challenges. In this paper we analyzed newspaper articles over nine years from the local newspaper, Kahoku Shinpo, from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2019. We abstracted articles with keyword of Arai-Higashi", which is the name of place where public renaissance collective housings are located, summarized them chronologically, and analyzed their transition and features. We summarized them into two contexts: ones about victims' challenges in life issues under the renaissance and community formation. We understood that renaissance and community formation has progressed under mutual influence. Victims' challenges in life issues may be changed to be more complicated by this mutuality. So we found the necessity of victims' challenges in life issues-centered new cohesive community formation for effective renaissance support, especially in communities where renaissance from the Great East Japan Earthquake and local development has been progressing simultaneously."journal articl
