Popis: For mothers and children facing the disaster, three perspectives must be taken into account: the perspective of aid providers, the perspective of local governments, and the perspective of the person experiencing the disaster. How to design a systematic approach to evacuations affecting mothers and children should be considered based on evacuee’s real experiences. For example, families with younger children could not stay in refugee facilities because children frequently cried and were noisy. Supplies were not given for evacuees at home. Thus real statements of evacuee tell us what should be done. Consideration for the safety needs of families with women and infants is still insufficient, which may cause population declines in the disaster area. An increasing number of municipalities in Japan now construct the system to offer effective services based on evacuees’ demands.
