This study aims to clarify life conditions outside shelters, such as sleeping in cars, and transition processes of refuge places after the Kumamoto earthquakes. By making surveys, it became clear that there were many different transition processes of changing refuge places, and that more than 40 percent of the families surveyed changed their refuge places three times or more. While they mainly refuged at shelters and their relatives’ houses from the earthquake occurrences until the moving to temporary housing, some families lived in cars or other places outside shelters for several months in preference to reconstruct their daily life.
