Analyzing Life Restoration Processes of Victims in Temporary Housing and How Public Aid Should Function－survey From the East Japan Earthquake－

Abstract eng:
In the Great East Japan Earthquake,130,000 houses were major damaged and 260,000 houses were moderate damaged. After Disaster,140,000 units of temporary housing have been provided for the victims, and more than half were housing by renting of private rental housing(designated temporary housing). This study analyzed life restoration processes of victims in temporary housing and how public aid should function after the Grate East Japan Earthquake. Designated temporary housing drastically reduced the suffering of victims living in evacuation centers by allowing them to move to a dwelling without having to wait for prefabricated temporary housing to be built. It was made clear that especially for households having difficulty living in evacuation centers such as those with infants and the elderly there were many advantages such as being able to avoid living in evacuation centers by living in designated temporary housing. A warm handed public support is a popular policy both politically and in terms of mass media. However, it is a grave fact that there is a discrepancy in the life restoration ability of victims. Making support measures unequal depending on conditions such as age, financial position and home ownership type is what is going to realize ideal equality of public support and this will lead to support that will increase self-reliance and independence of the victims.
