Abstract
Recently, Japan has had three serious natural disasters: the eruption of Mt. Unzen-Fugendake, starting in 1990, the tsunami caused by Hokkaido Southwest, Earthquake in 1993; and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995. Natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions sometimes cause a large number of people, many of whom have lived all their lives in one place, to be uprooted from homes and familiar surroundings (e. g., Miura, 1995).
