The following examples illustrate the barriers that hinder smooth project coordination. One barrier is between the vertically divided administrative organizations. In Minamisanriku town, for example, the coastal levee and the mounded national road are planned to run parallel to each other, in close vicinity of about 100 m. The road, planned to be behind the levee, is even higher than the levee and the local government is planning to fill the resulting dips between the two infrastructures. Although the construction of a road that also functions as levee might present an economic advantage, it is hard to coordinate the two projects because the prefectural government plans the levee and the road is by the national government.

40 K. Iuchi et al. 1 Japan’s Approach to Temporary Housing In Japan, temporary housing is funded by the national government, constructed by the prefectural government, and managed by local government. Local governments also select the beneficiaries. Most units are smaller than 30 square meters and intended for 2 years of use, although this can be extended. After the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, many people lived in temporary housing for 5 years. After the GEJE, the limit has already been extended several times, currently until March 2015; and in Fukushima Prefecture it has already been extended until March 2016.

In Kobe, temporary housing was awarded using a lottery system with priority given to the elderly and other vulnerable residents. This intention to support vulnerable people is commendable, but caused a scattering of former communities and a separation of residents from pre-existing local support systems. Built on land available to Kobe City, much of the temporary housing was located some distance from former communities and inconvenient for school, work and daily life routines. Many of the younger, working age people and families chose not to move into temporary housing, which together with the priority system, resulted in a concentration of largely elderly and vulnerable people.
