摘要

The big earthquake occurred in April, 2015 caused tremendous damage to the life of people in Nepal. Almost two years has passed, however, the disaster recovery activities including the rehabilitation of infrastructures and the reconstruction of buildings have been delayed. The major factors of these delays are 1) the political turmoil in recent years, 2) the difficulties of the physical distribution between Nepal and India caused by the ethnic problems, and 3) the constraints of the procurement of materials for the reconstruction caused by the weakness of manufacturing industries.
