A research group consisting of Associate Professor Yoshito Ogata of the Graduate School of Kyushu University and Professor Shigeki Watanuki of the Center for Applied Physiology and Anthropology analyzed the posters posted at the shelters of the Kumamoto earthquake, and as the scale of the shelters increased. We found that information on welfare activities and support for disaster victims is increasing.The research results will be reported at the District Disaster Prevention Planning Society held at Kyoto University Uji Campus on March 3.
According to Kyushu University, the research group extracted 3,000 photos of posters related to the evacuation center from the approximately 861 photographs taken at the evacuation center of the Kumamoto earthquake.We analyzed them from various aspects such as the time when they were overhanging, the function of each evacuation center, and the scale.
その結果、収容人員30人のくまもと森都心プラザでは福祉活動と被災者支援に関する情報が張り紙全体の12.5％、72人収容の花園総合出張所では13.0％にすぎなかったのに対し、138人収容のサンライフ熊本では21.8％、270人収容の宇土東小学校では22.6％、368人収容の富合雁回館では21.6％に達していた。
The research group said that as the size of the shelter increased, the number of posters increased, and in particular, there was a tendency for more information on welfare activities and support for disaster victims.As time passed from the opening of the evacuation center, the number of cautions and guidance information decreased, while the number of new information and notifications increased.
The research group interprets the poster posted at the evacuation shelter as "a trace of the power of the victims to repel problems", and judges that the information required at each evacuation shelter and the requests of the victims are appearing. ..If this result is applied to the evacuation shelter management manual of the local government, it is expected that the services for the victims will be improved.
