Abstract
Following the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake of March 2011 and disasters thereafter, we have come to accumulate scores of knowledge and technologies relating to disaster waste management; and from these experiences, it is clear that the speed of disaster waste management is critical to recovery efforts. In Japan, however, people’s awareness and community-based approaches seem weak. Thus, in this study, we tried to grasp levels of awareness and preparation regarding disaster waste, focusing on volunteers and community residents.
