| Research Abstract |
Trend in disaster volunteers after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake has been investigated. Study 1 : Participant Observation at a disaster NPO. Based on my longitudinal participant observation at Nippon Volunteer Network Active in Disaster since 1995, ethnographies for the first decade were produced. Study 2 : Network of Disaster NPOs (1).Organizing processes and the significance of "Forum of Wisdom" established by core members of two nationwide network of disaster NPOs were examined. Study 3 : Network of Disaster NPOs (2).I attended annual conferences of an American network organization of disaster NPOs (i.e., National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) and interviewed its core members about disaster relief activities through the network. Study 4 : Activities of Disaster NPOs during Peace Time. I investigated peace-time activities for community disaster management provided by the nationwide networks of disaster NPOs, and theoretically examined the role of disaster volunteers in community development. In addition, I visited Taiwan for its 5^<th> anniversary of the 1999 earthquake and examined how local residents have reconstructed their communities with local resources. Study 5 : Theory of Disaster Volunteers. The trend of disaster volunteers during the first decade was theoretically analyzed. Practical as well as theoretical implications for the second decade were drawn. During the term of this research project, disaster NPOs I have observed dispatched their relief teams to disaster areas such as Iran and Niigata I followed them and conducted participant observations as a part of this project.
