Outline of Final Research Achievements

A survey was conducted to investigate cooperation between local governments, social welfare councils, and religious facilities/organizations in times of disaster. The results showed a significant increase in the number of local governments with disaster agreements with religious facilities and the number of religious facilities designated as evacuation shelters compared to the 2014 survey. Approximately 40% of social welfare councils reported receiving support from religious organizations during disasters. There were few cases of cooperation or collaboration being refused due to separation of religion and state. There was also a desire among local residents to use religious facilities as evacuation shelters in times of disaster. The findings suggest that building strong relationships between residents, religious leaders, community associations, local governments, social welfare councils, and NPOs in normal times can effectively strengthen cooperation during disasters.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究開始時、宗教施設や宗教者と、自治体、社会福祉協議会、地域住民との災害時連携において政教分離原則が障壁となっていると想定していた。しかし、本調査により、政教分離原則によって連携を難しくしている実例はごく少数で、そのような連携に考えが及ばなかったり、宗教者側から協力申し出がなかったので連携していないといった理由が多いことが明らかになった。調査結果をもとに、日本宗教連盟および内閣府と連携して「防災・減災、災害時の地域協力」セミナー等を開催し、行政や社会福祉協議会、宗教者に働きかけることにより、災害時連携についての社会認知も進み、実質的な連携の動きにつながった点で社会的意義がある。
