The Nankai Trough Earthquake is expected to cause large-scale damage. As a result, the amount of temporary housing needed by victims whose homes have been damaged will be insufficient. Therefore, evacuation across city and town boundaries is anticipated. On the other hand, the increase in the number of vacant houses has become a social problem in recent years. Therefore, this study focused on the effectiveness of two-area residence in the event of a disaster, and conducted a questionnaire survey of residents living in urban areas and those living in rural areas in Hyogo Prefecture.The results indicate that bi-regional residence could be a potentially useful pre-disaster recovery measure.
