“…These programs include securing new land areas, site development for these resettlement areas, and the preparation of new residential lots that residents can buy or rent, and use to rebuild their houses. The legal basis to implement buyouts and support relocation is the designation of the former land as hazardous, which allows the government to purchase it and provide new residential land for relocation 33–35 …”

“…Previous studies have documented the overall negative impacts of buyouts for people, including: large-scale redistribution and shifting of vulnerability; lack of transparency; disproportionate retreat in low-income or minority communities; losses in the physical environment that impact the sense of safety; and threats of long-term financial losses associated with postbuyout land use decisions over which residents have no control. 8,11,15,34,35 In Japan, negative impacts can be drawn from the scale of the buyouts as well as process. In GEJE case studies, many scholars have examined the consequences of implemented collective relocation and buyout programs in Tohoku region of Japan.…”

Government acquisition of residential land has played a growing role in the reconstruction of housing in safer places and reduction of water‐related risks. This paper explores how the rationales and processes of residential buyouts may result in different consequences for coastal recovery, mitigation, and residents' wellbeing referring to government documents and existing literature, we explored the characteristics of buyout programs in Japan and the U.S., identified consequences of mitigation and recovery, and deduced the effects of community buyouts. Our study revealed buyout programs could reduce risk exposure, enhance sustainable and resilient coastal rewilding, housing recovery, and building of community resilience. However, they could also contribute to limiting homeowners' opportunities to make their own choices to stay or relocate, the distribution of residents into unfamiliar communities, creation of checkerboard patterns of acquired properties, and un‐utilized vast vacant lands. These results suggest that planners and disaster managers need careful consideration to redesign and manage property acquisition programs that not only increase regional resilience, but also are equitable for affected residents and utilization of acquired lands.

This study aims to identify where the disaster survivors come from and where they move after the disaster. A questionnaire survey of all households in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture was conducted, and the following three points were obtained.1) The decrease in Densely Inhabited District (DID) in the city is larger than in other tsunami-impacted areas.2) Widespread relocation: Relocation from the former site of 109 chou (small-areas) to 164 chou is observed despite the reconstruction project implementation site of 62 chou.3) Newcomers from outside the city who were not U-turns selected their homes in the L2 inundation area.
