10. Summary of the thesis results:
The March 2011 double disaster in Tohoku, a complex combination of natural disaster and nuclear power plant accident, became the most devastating event to Japan's socio-economic development since World War II. Even now, more than seven years after the disaster, the affected areas are still in the process of recovery and redevelopment. To ensure this post-disaster recovery is on a solid and effective foundation, one of the top priorities is the reconstruction of affected communities.
Therefore, the thesis topic is "The practical process of community reconstruction in Tohoku, Japan, following the double disaster of March 2011.The study aims to: 1) Understand the extent of damage and social consequences caused by the March 2011 double disaster to Japanese society in general and the three prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima in particular. 2) Identify the specific characteristics of community reconstruction activities corresponding to each stage and type of residence. Based on the results of annual surveys of residents' attitudes, understand the situation, changes, and difficulties of community reconstruction activities in the recovery process. 3) Through studying the reconstruction situation of a specific city, clarify the factors influencing the process of community re-establishment. More specifically, clarify community reconstruction in the context of government and local authority policies.
11. Practical applications:
Studying "disasters" from a natural science perspective contributes to providing warnings for the best possible preparedness and minimizing damage; however, it cannot completely eliminate their existence. In the context of the aftermath of a disaster, what countermeasures and factors are necessary to quickly restore the affected area? This is both a requirement and a role of disaster research from a societal perspective. This topic is...The practical process of community reconstruction in Tohoku, Japan, following the double disaster of March 2011."—By understanding the characteristics, difficulties, and factors influencing the community rebuilding process; and grasping the essential role of community linkages in post-double disaster recovery, we learn valuable lessons in responding to and overcoming the impact of natural disasters on socio-economic life in particular and in social management in general. Especially for a country like Vietnam, which suffers from many natural disasters, studying and learning from the Japanese people's response after the disaster is of great importance."

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
The dual disaster in March 2011 in Northeastern Japan with the complex nature of both a natural event and a nuclear power plant accident, has become the biggest catastrophic event for the development of Japan's economy and society since World War II. At the present, after the incident over 7 years, the affected local areas are still in the process of recovery and redevelopment. For the post-disaster's recovery process to be executed on a solid and effective foundation, reconstructing the community should be prioritized.
The thesis with the title "The practice of the Reconstruction of the Northeastern Japanese Community after the Dual Disaster in March, 2011" aims to: Firstly, clarify the extent of the damages and the consequences of the event to the Japanese society in general and three provinces including Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima in particular; secondly, identify the specific characteristics of the community reconstruction activities in each stage and type of residence. Based on the findings of the annual population survey, the thesis addresses the situation, changes and difficulties of the community redevelopment in the renaissance; Thirdly, through analyzing the real situation of the reconstruction of a particular city, the thesis indicates the factors affecting the re-formation of the society or in other words, clarifies the community reconstruction in the relation between the policies from the Government and the local Authority.
12. Practical applicability, if any:
The study on the disaster under the perspective of natural science contributes to the warning for the best prevention and minimal damages of the event but cannot completely eliminate its existence. In the aftermath of the disaster, finding strategies and needed factors to bring the affected areas back quickly is the requirement as well as the importance of disaster studies in the aspect of the society. With the topic "The practice of the Reconstruction of the Northeastern Japanese Community after the Dual Disaster in March, 2011", through exploring the characteristics, difficulties and factors that affect the society re-forming process, the thesis concludes that understanding the essential role of community links in the recovery after the dual disaster is a valuable lesson in coping with the effects of natural disasters on the society and economy in particular and social management in general. Especially with a country suffering many natural disasters like Vietnam, understanding and learning the spirit of responding to those events of the Japanese people are crucial.
