ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the academic and social significance of that project and considers the role of the anthropologist as a citizen at home. It describes the Toshinroku Project process and discusses its potential. The first concerns the way an anthropologist interacts with and involves members of their community, in this case, the university community. The second concerns the importance of recording the social reconstruction process in areas that were not affected by the worst destruction. The reconstruction of local communities that have been severely affected is extremely important. Modern society is made up of many social nodes that intersect across multiple levels. The chapter began with how anthropologists should respond to disasters that have occurred in their hometowns. People in modern times are inevitably exposed different conditions of disaster risk because of their lifestyle and the separation of home and work.
