Fukui Heavy Rainfall Disaster in July 2004 gave severe damage at huge agricultural lands and facilities in Nan-etsu and Niu areas. The greater part of these areas are designated as the close-mountain region to be officially supported for promotion by the national and local governments. The agricultural-land damage is evaluated by two types of indices. The first is the amount of monetary damage of individual farmer and the second theper-centages of damaged areas of all agricultural lands. The size of the indices indicate the different damages be-tween settlements. This study is guided by the following questions: what is important to restore damaged settle-ment?What kinds of situation make the damaged agricultural lands difficult to be re-farmed?And, is the agri-cultural activity in the damaged settlements possible to survive from the rainfall disaster?This analysis made it clear that any types of damaged settlements have different risks for restoration and culti-vation. For example,(1)the settlements of extremely heavy economical burden on farmers and extensive land damage face a critical phase for land-restoration and re-farming or land abandonment. The most settlements are fundamentally not suitable for cultivation, because they are already depopulated and located in snowy regions between mountains.(2)The settlements of more heavy economical burden on farmers, compared with extent of land damage, have a risk for restoration and farming. Because most of them exist in mountain areas distant from central cities, few young people stay in the community. Presumably, the disaster is accelerating depopulation and aging.(3)The settlements of more extensive land damage, compared with personal damage, have also prob-lems for restoration and farming. Most of them are located close to the central plain. Some farm families are ex-pected to abandon cultivation, because they easily find another jobs in commuting distance. (4)Even the settle-ments of less damage tend to give up the cultivation. Because some farm families in the less damaged settle-ments already have abandoned cultivation, tiny damage of agricultural lands might be good chance for them to stop farming and try to change occupation. Additionally, slow recovery speed from the damage sometimes in-tensify the difficulty in continuing cultivation. The settlements of less-damage have already startedf arming again after speedy restoration. On the other hand, the settlements of severe-damage are still waiting for recovery construction to be completed. Generally,less-damaged settlements are situated in better conditions for agricul-ture, and severe-damaged settlements in worse conditions. The 2004 rainfall disaster might have made the differ-ences between settlements more clear than before.
