Report

Number of participants 120

Cases from both developed and developing countries (Japan, US, Germany, Indonesia, Philippines, and India) have clarified that key factors in recovery processes – i.e. planning system, community dynamics and involvement of people – evolve with a large influence of local contexts, including social, financial, and historical backgrounds. Identifying the way to link “planning”, “people” and “communities” more cohesively in each locations, therefore, is an urging issue in planning research.
