| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This process of support required for the elderly from the time of a disaster to evacuation and periods of living in temporary shelters was clarified in this study through participant observation and interviews with livelihood support counselors and community welfare volunteers in small municipalities that had been severely affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Kumamoto Earthquake. Analysis of data gathered showed that support by livelihood support counselors, who also happen to be local residents, played an important role in the affected areas as disaster social work that relied on the continuity between public and private sectors. The study results also revealed that the care provided by community welfare volunteers is vital, especially when the vulnerability of the elderly is high due to the disaster.
