A STUDY ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF DISASTER-AFFECTED PLACES BY TWO GREAT FLOODS AND THE CONTINUITY OF DISASTER LORES

This study investigates the transformation of disaster-affected sites and the remaining disaster lores in Obatake-doro, impacted by the 1889 Totsukawa Flood and the 2011 Kii Peninsula Flood. Using mapping methods, changes in topography, adaptation to disasters, and existing disaster lores were visualized on a single map. The results reveal that the affected sites have transformed into spaces disconnected from the daily lives of residents. Remaining disaster lores include place names and oral traditions that accurately identify affected areas, those that lack precise location, and narratives linked to disaster experiences and daily life.
