| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project explores on the elderly communities in Iwate Japan and Tacloban Philippines. Both areas were severely devastated by natural disasters. It is hoped that through this research, the elderly will be seen as a potential in disaster response and rescue operations thereby enhancing their collective action as well as their inclusion and participation in disaster situations. Focused interviews will be the main method to gather data. Through the results, presentations will be done and publications could emanate. Workshops and seminars will also be conducted.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For 2022-2023, sharing of research findings to older adults at the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs in Tacloban was conducted. It was a successful event with older people being engaged in the seminar/workshop. One online oral presentation and another in-person presentation were executed. One in-person poster presentation was also done. Three academic meetings were attended to enhance principal investigator's knowledge and skills as well as learn current and upcoming trends. These meetings also provided opportunities to network for possible collaboration with other academics and scholars from other fields and universities in Japan and abroad in the near future. A 2nd paper was published in 2022. A 3rd paper for journal publication is under preparation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This research aspired to contribute in filling the gap on the dearth of studies about disaster and older people. It is hoped that through this study, disaster planning, response, and recovery becomes more inclusive, equitable, and diverse.
