ABSTRACT
The natural disasters struck northeast Australia between November 2010
and February 2011. The QLD (Queensland) State Government has
established the Queensland Reconstruction Authority within one month. Recovery
works in QLD seem to be very smooth, and transfer phase to the normal civil
works is going to start.
Eastern Japan also attacked by the great earthquake and following Tsunami on
March 11, 2011. Japanese Government, however, established the Reconstruction Agency almost one year after the
event. The reconstruction of
the disaster area is still on the half way. This paper aims to find out the
differences between two countries from the viewpoints of organization, planning
process and financial conditions.
KEYWORDS
