Evaluate the capacity of Japanese spatial planning system for hazards integration realities and (f)acts: a pre-post the great east Japan Earthquake in Fukushima, 2011

The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake catapulted seismic vulnerabilities to the forefront of Japan's concerns, sparking a seismic shift in spatial planning and disaster management strategies. Through an exploration of the interplay between seismic realities, legislative responses, and planning frameworks, this study unveils Japan's adept utilization of innovative technologies and legislative adaptations to fortify its preparedness. The research leverages NASA-USGS data collection, Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, kriging interpolation, and relational content analysis to illuminate Japan's trajectory towards heightened resilience. Therefore, a long term satellite data collected based on NASA-USGS data between 2000 and 2023 which is 10 years before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake in Fukushima, 2011 or known as 2011 Tohoku. Japan's intricate seismic landscape, coupled with the profound impact of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, necessitated an immediate re-evaluation of its spatial planning and disaster management strategies. To comprehend the aftermath of the profound 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, this study delves into Japan's intricate seismic landscape, which compelled an immediate re-evaluation of disaster management strategies. It strives to unravel the intricate connections among seismic attributes, legislative adjustments, and planning systems that collectively shape Japan's capacity and feasibility to mitigate risks and amplify its resilience. The earthquake's seismic attributes spurred a proactive fusion of targeted risk evaluation and mitigation strategies within the planning fabric. The legislative adaptations and evolving planning drafts demonstrate Japan's commitment to strengthening its resilience against seismic intricacies and environmental hazards, effectively positioning the nation at the vanguard of disaster readiness.
