Abstract

This paper aims to clear impacts of business interruption of an anchor store in an earthquake recovery process through a case study of Kengun Shopping Street, Kumamoto City, with a survey of pedestrian traffic, taxi users after shopping, and interviews to shop owners along Kengun Shopping Street. Consequently, it was shown that the reopening of the anchor store greatly contributed to recovering pedestrian traffic volume and the number of taxi users after shopping, but these had not entirely recovered at the levels before the earthquake. In particular, the recovery levels of taxi users were different among residential districts. This results implied that the consumption behaviors after the earthquake were likely to change during the anchor store were closed and unchange after it reopened. On the other hand, it was shown that the volume of visitors, whose purpose is community-activity, to the shopping street are almost unchanged after the earthquake. This implied that the function of community activity the shopping street had was robust to disasters and contributed to mitigate negative impacts on the shopping street.
