sites were able to own their land after 15 years of payments (20 years later: 5-year
moratorium + 15 years of payments). The price of the resettlement site was calcu-
lated as: (Cost of land actuation + Construction cost of resettlement)/Portion of
occupied land. After the 1939 Showa Tsunami Disaster, 60 villages (11 community
resettlements, 49 individual resettlements) in Miyagi and 38 villages (all commu-
nity resettlements) in Iwate conducted resettlement. All recovery projects were
completed within 1 year.

1.3 Damage Due to the EJED at Resettlement Sites

This section explains about the fi eld survey results on the damage about the Showa

A fi eld survey of resettlement sites from the Meiji and Showa Tsunami Disasters was
conducted after the EJED using 21 large-scale resettlement sites as the targets.
Table 1.2 shows the results. Figure 1.3 shows the location of several resettlement
projects. Four types of damage patterns were clarifi ed. Damage classifi cation of reset-
