ACTUAL CONDITIONS AND ROLES OF EMERGENCY SHELTERS IN RURAL AREA

Abstract

Nishihara village was one of the most damaged area hit by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake. It goes without saying the damage of buildings, and the damage of farmlands were also serious. When Kumamoto Earthquake struck this area, there were only 3 weeks left until the rice planting that is the most important work in agricultural calendar. Therefore, the farmers had to reconstruct their lands and irrigation systems by themselves in spite of becoming refugees. In this situation, refugees established non-designated shelters so that they could engage in emergency recovery under the auspices of mutual aids. However, previous researches in post-disaster studies has not discussed disaster prevention plans with rural-specific situation like this.
