Abstract

This study aims to investigate and clarify of the aftermath of WW II and postwar compensation for evacuees, with a focus on Kyoto. First, because Kyoto was not targeted in the air raids, evacuees moved to nearby houses feel unequal postwar conscience. Although Kyoto is a "non-war-damaged city", these people experienced feelings of victimization. Second, Risaitoshi-syakutisyakuya-rinzisyori-Row was applied to not only the war-damaged cities but also non-war-damaged cities, such as Kyoto and Kanazawa, to control the land lease. In addition, city planning was initiated in areas vacated by the evacuees. However, as Japan government considered Kyoto a non-war-damaged city, the government subsidy to city planning in postwar Kyoto was far from sufficient. Third the Japan government does not the evacuees as war victims. Consequently, postwar Kyoto was caught in a dilemma "Non-war-damaged city". It may be inferred from this paper that the postwar cities in Japan can be classified into several types : war-damaged cities, non-war-damaged cites and cities where building evacuation was implemented, such as Kyoto and Kanazawa.
