摘要

The Fugendake of Unzen Volcano erupted on 17 November 1990. More than ten thousands inhabitants were obligated to stay in the temporary dwelling for a long time without their ordinary works. Roads and railway within off-limit area were closed. The long-term volcanic activity rendered severe bad effects on the local economy in commerce and industry, and agriculture. Local governments made effects to support the evacuees. The Ministry of Construction showed a project to construct a superdam for erosion control. The local governments set up the several committees to deliberate the re-construction plans. Program of city buildup is under investigation. In the present paper, results of investigation on facilities of disaster prevention such as sedimental control, flood control afforestation, river improvement, reclamation of the offshore, communication, information system and voluntary organization for disaster prevention are shown.
