Abstract

Ten thousands of people evacuated over the world of municipal and prefecture due to the Great East Japan Earthquake. The Kobe City Government established the evacuee information registration system in the earliest period of all the local governments and the national government throughout the country. The system has two purposes. One is to share personal information of evacuated people with the local government they used to live in before the earthquake. The other is to find people who need governmental support among the evacuated people. The aim of this paper is to research the evacuee information registration systems in Kobe City.
