This study aims to explore the community resilience in Genkaijima Island examining the four phases such as before the Fukuoka Seiho-oki Earthquake occurred in March 2005, at the time of disaster, during the evacuation and returning, and after returning to the island.
It is analyzed multidirectionally the recovery process of the earthquake by the literature on Genkaijima Island, interviews and district surveys.
Before the earthquake, community resilience was developed by coping with various disasters and crises.
When the earthquake hit the island, people could escape to some safety places and then they were evacuated to Fukuoka city, which was the result of the regular disaster drills.
The leadership of the president of the fishermen's cooperative association and the one of both "Hachikenkamado" and "Moyai" cultivated by the community cooperation were shown from the time of all houses refuge to the time of returning to the island.
Community resilience in Genkaijima Island has been declining in recent years, because people were relieved from difficulties in shelters, and then they gradually began to forget their disaster experience after returning to the island.
It is emphasized that common interest and cooperation in community lead community identity and it forms the basis of community resilience in disaster cycle.
