After the Great East Japan Earthquake, public housing for disaster victims was built in inland areas away from the coastal disaster zone in Iwate Prefecture. This paper examines the relationship between the disaster public housing (Minami Aoyama Apartments) and the area where it was built (Minami Aoyama Town). It also looks at the activities of the Morioka Reconstruction Support Center and the Aoyama Community BANYA, which are engaged in support activities there. Here, the residents’ independent lifestyles are gradually merging with community activities. The Center and BANYA are demonstrating the significance and form of future public institutions.
