| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, many evacuees had to stay in evacuation shelters such as school gymnasiums for months. Many of the people in these shelters, a topic to which researchers have seemingly been indifferent.With the goal of developing planning strategies to reduce fear of crime and decrease privacy invasion in evacuation shelters, we conducted an internet questionnaire on 300 evacuees in Miyagi Prefecture who had stayed at such shelters for at least one day. We found that the countermeasures implemented to reduce fear of crime and privacy protection were insufficient and did not meet the requests of evacuees, especially females. First, respondents felt that places to secure valuables and partitions for privacy were needed. Second, an association was observed between fear of crime and actually witnessing and/or hearing about crimes. Based on these results, we provide recommendations to reduce fear of crime and increase privacy protection.
