INTRODUCTION
The Great East Japan Earthquake on 11th March 2011
severely damaged the Pacific coastal area in the Tohoku
region.
A large section of the budget has already been allocated
and spent on these efforts and will continue to be spent in
the future.
The administrative capacity matter is one of the most
important and difficult.
How did various administrative agencies in Japan approach
the administrative capacity matter including civil
engineering procurement capacity?
INTRODUCTION
Municipal Governments and Miyagi Prefecture
Main focus of this paper is on municipal governments.
Municipal governments are city, town and village. Municipal
governments are important for reconstruction because they are regarded
as main responsible for planning and implementing the
reconstruction in each administrative area.
Main focus of this paper is on Miyagi prefecture.
Casualty number in Miyagi is more than 10,000 while numbering
more than 5,000 in Iwate and more than 3,000 in Fukushima. Miyagi is
the biggest prefecture in the Tohoku region in terms of both population
and GDP.
BACKGROUND SITUATIONS Budget Increase after the Earthquake
The tsunami-stricken municipal governments in Miyagi
prefecture faced enormous budget increase after the
tsunami and earthquake.
Especially public investment expense to restorative
construction is marking the tremendous increase.
Public procurement is very important to the process of
the implementation of such public investment expenses.

SHORTAGE OF PUBLIC SERVANTS
Faced with such a dramatic increase of public
investment expense, these 15 heavily tsunami-
stricken Miyagi municipal governments must
prepare additional public servants.
However, to secure a sufficient number of
public servants is very difficult.
SHORTAGE OF PUBLIC SERVANTS Needs, Fulfilment and Remaining Shortage of Public Servants

Municipal Governments as of 1st March 2014

of 1st March 2014)”
SHORTAGE OF PUBLIC SERVANTS
The shortage is especially severe in civil engineering.
This shortage of civil engineering includes land
readjustment, water and sewerage, collective relocation,
fishery harbour and so on.
Civil engineer is essential to the implementation of
public procurement for the reconstruction of roads,
housing, land adjustments, ports, public facilities and so on.

of 1st March 2014)”.
RECRUITMENT Recruitment of Fixed-term Public Servants
The Most typical recruitment type is fixed-term
because public reconstruction work is regarded as a non-
permanent administrative activity, limited and rather
intensive.
In reality, recruitment is the supplementary option for
most of the tsunami-stricken Miyagi municipal
governments.
.
RECRUITMENT Other Mechanisms
There are several other recruitment mechanisms.
Recruitment of permanent public servants
Recruitment of retired public servants
Reappointment
However, these types of recruitment practices are also not
enough to fulfill the needs.
DISPATCH Overview of Dispatch
Dispatch, not recruitment is the most used
method to fulfil the gap.
Total dispatch number (954) is more than
three times of total recruitment number (289)
as of 1st March 2014.

2014)”.
DISPATCH Number of Dispatched Public Servants Received to Fulfill the Shortage
DISPATCH Self-Arrangement
Each tsunami-stricken municipal government arranges
dispatch with other municipal governments and
prefectures. Typical examples are dispatches based on
disaster mutual cooperation agreement and dispatches
based on sister-city or twin town relationship.
However, self-arrangement has lots of varieties.
ex. Tokyo metropolitan government cooperated to some
tsunami-stricken municipal governments even without these
pre-existed agreement or relationship: though 47 have been
employed since September 2012 on a one year fixed-term.
Most of public servants were renewed and 42 are still
working at the 10 municipal governments as of March
2014.
DISPATCH MIC SCHEME
MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) organizes
the dispatch scheme.
MIC gathers information on human resource needs in each
damaged municipal government through each damaged prefecture.
MIC sends cooperation request to municipal governments
across Japan.
MIC gathers dispatch possibilities and offers from municipal
governments.
The important reason why this MIC scheme is so powerful and
effective are MIC’s national-wide influence to local governments.
DISPATCH
Dispatch after Recruitment by Miyagi
prefectural government
The Miyagi prefectural government conducts
advertisement and recruitment activities on behalf of
the tsunami-stricken municipal governments.
In this recruitment, career open seminars are held not only
in Sendai city but also in Tokyo to attract more
candidates.
DISPATCH Other Mechanisms
There are other dispatch mechanisms.
The Miyagi prefectural government and other non-
tsunami-stricken municipal governments within Miyagi
also dispatch their own public servants.
The Reconstruction Agency is also arranging a scheme to
attract human resources from private companies.
Direct dispatch from private companies is also
conducted.
However, the number of these dispatches is limited.
.
.
SUMMARY .
Efforts and mechanisms to fulfil reconstruction engineering
capacity and overall administrative human resource capacity in
the tsunami-stricken municipal governments in Miyagi prefecture are
identified. Recruitment and dispatch are two methods.
To increase the number of permanent public servants is only a
special option.
Most typical recruitment is fixed-term.
There are several other recruitment mechanisms such as
recruitment of retired public servants and reappointment, but those are
not so much used.
Recruitment
SUMMARY
Dispatch
The number of dispatched is more than three times the recruitment
number in Miyagi 15 tsunami-stricken municipal governments.
Self-Arrangement : the 15 municipal governments arrange dispatch.
Through the MIC scheme, many public servants are dispatched.
The Miyagi prefectural government’s advertisement and
recruitment efforts let these 15 be possible to receive the recruits.
The Miyagi prefectural government and other non- tsunami-stricken
municipal governments within Miyagi prefecture also dispatch their own
public servants. However, the capacity to send is not so much.
SUMMARY Remaining Challenges
Despite these efforts and results, there are still shortages of
both public servants as a whole and specifically engineering
officers including procurement-related human resources
personal.
-How to fill this remaining gap is a great challenge.
-How to keep this present situation and promote national-
wide cooperation is also the important challenge.
As summarized above, the experiences, efforts and challenges
can be a good lessons in preparation for such future disasters.
