Four recovery patterns from the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake: Using the 2001-2003-2005 panel data

Abstract

We examined panel data (N=297) to evaluate changes in the victim's feeling of recovery after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Then, based on six-years data, we determined the transition pattern of the victim's feeling of the long-term life recovery. We classified the change in the victim's feeling of life recovery into four patterns: ++ type, +type, - type, and -- type.
