abstract = "Despite economic, scientific, and technological advances, damage and losses by natural disasters still remain at a high level in Japan. This is mainly because many people still reside in disaster-prone places both in urban and rural areas. We propose some policy measures to promote relocation from vulnerable places to safe places using financial incentives to residents and local governments. We then go on to review policy reforms/measures in promoting the Smart Shrink strategy in Japan.",

note = "Funding Information: So far, disaster reconstruction programs have been supported by great financial assistance from the government. However, Japan{\textquoteright}s financial situation will become more and more severe in the future. Sato et al. [ 5 ] point out that Japan{\textquoteright}s financial assistance to disaster sufferers has been carried out on the assumption that Japan will not be financially broke, but in a large-scale disaster, Japan will not be in a position to shoulder an unrestricted financial burden.
