Abstract

This paper examines the restoration events following damage from the Kumamoto earthquake led by the local civil agency in Toyono-cho, Uki-city, with a population of less than 5,000. A collaborative network was identified through analyzing public consciousness and interactions between local people, internal and external volunteers who were involved　throughout the process. By incorporating religious culture, as well as entertainment into promotion of these events, this approach proved useful for helping victims stay connected　with the recovery process. In this way, the restoration events had the power to reunite and rekindle the spirit of the local　community, while raising awareness of disaster prevention. The effectiveness of these collaborative networks in　the absence of planned events for enhancing disaster prevention was also highlighted.
