Analysis of establishments affected by tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake by panel data using individual data of Economic Census Akinobu MASUMURA, Aya KUBOTA The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between business recovery and implementation of urban recovery plans after tsunami disasters. We developed time series panel data of each establishment before and after the disaster using reconstruction projects and the designations of disaster risk areas on the survival of establishments. Results revealed that besides inundation damage, industry sectors, and number of employees, the implementation of reconstruction projects and designation of disaster risk areas were factors that impeded survival.
The revitalization of the Brooklyn Navy Yard (BNY) in the fringe area of New York City as a city's industrial site is a rare example where its original use, manufacturing, has been maintained in its historic environment, unlike most of the typical historic preservation projects in waterfront areas through the introduction of new urban uses such as residential, commercial and office. This paper aims to examine how such case was achieved and how historic preservation and retention of manufacturing policies interacted in the BNY. In conclusion, the non-profit organization who operates the yard has succeeded in creating jobs and utilized the unused industrial buildings by focusing on small manufacturers who need affordable working space in the high-cost environment. Although manufacturing is retained in the historic environment, two policies do not promote each other, but receive some benefits from each other, which balances two acts in the yard at this moment.

When the serious damage caused by the disaster, reconstruction forced at a position away from the original. However, it is moving to cut off the community.

At Wakamiya town, despite being rated as a good space, space had changed before and after the earthquake and residents didn't feel good. But rather, at the followed process, they get a feeling of satisfaction.
