The Ishinomaki Kawanokami Project is a community-based planning body that aims to foster human resources while cultivating the community. The area of Kawanokami, which is located in the northern area of Ishinomaki City, was selected as a mass relocation area for the people who suffered from the massive tsunami at the Great East Japan Earthquake. Since the people have different backgrounds, such as experience of earthquakes or place of residence, project decided to create “the third place” by which would enhance communication and encourage the exchange of information within the community.
