The Great Hanshin Flood Disaster took place on July 3rd to the 5th, 1938. It hit the south side of the Rokko Mountains, and the violent torrential rain caused by the Baiu front triggered massive landslides and flood. There are some books on the Great Hanshin Flood Disaster compiled by the local governments. These books have been prepared from the records of the disaster and the recovery and reconstruction process. The affected areas have the same type of soil, and therefore, they had the same kind of damage from the landslide caused by the heavy rain. The strong impacts greatly influenced these societies. I believe that the behavior of these local governments can be clarified by looking at the special features of each local government. The purpose of this study is to examine the behavior of a local government, the "Kobe Ward Joint Neighborhood Association", by analyzing the book Kobe Ward, a Record of Flood Disaster Restorations. Firstly, I explain the background of the disaster, the geographical circumstances of Kobe Ward, the disaster history of the Hanshin-region, historical materials and the "Kobe Ward Disaster Recovery Association" which was established by the "Kobe Ward Joint Neighborhood Association". Secondly, I describe the disaster situation of Kobe Ward, followed by a summary of the emergency recovery operations of roads. Thereafter, I describe the planning process of restoration plans of rivers Kitano and Koi in Kobe Ward. Finally, I present some of the original ideas and activities of Kobe Ward. The "Kobe Ward Disaster Recovery Association" supported affiliated neighborhood associations and coordinated actions between the public administration and the community. To begin with, they had established the "Kobe Ward Joint Neighborhood Association" and had already some good leaders. Secondly, the objective of this book was not providing a memorial book of this disaster, but rather, it was giving the inhabitants of the ward an upsurge of sentiments and a sense of accomplishment. Finally, since the modern business area had no neighborhood association, the "Kobe Ward Joint Neighborhood Association" helped them to establish one.
