한국과 일본 피난행동요지원자의 피난행동지원에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Support for the Evacuation of Those in Need of Assistance in Japan and Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Both Korea and Japan are addressing the challenges of supporting people in need of evacuation assistance. To this end, one needs to take into consideration the characteristics of natural and social disasters and those of people in need of assistance. Furthermore, there are challenges at the evacuation support sites closely related to the daily lives of those requiring assistance. Also, it is important to establish a support system and environment for the evacuation behavior of those requiring assistance. To address these issues, the present study makes several proposals. First, it is essential to consider the diversity of disasters and the characteristics of those requiring assistance. Examples include the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake. In order to take an effective approach to the serious damage affecting those requiring support, laws and guidelines have been established. Second, it is also important to establish and organize the support sites for evacuation in local communities, such as welfare evacuation shelters and social welfare facilities where the evacuees can lead a daily life during disasters. Also, it is also required to expand the workforce to provide those in need of assistance with welfare services. Third, from the perspective of humans during a disaster, we need to enhance the disaster sensitivity of various resources, including the evacuees requiring assistance, their families, groups, local communities, and the nation. Evacuation support is a series of activities that attempt to elevate disaster sensitivity through interactions among various resources within local communities from the point of view of the victims of a disaster, focusing the support on individuals who require assistance.
