This study aims to identify the actual situation of disaster prevention in accommodation facilities and previous thinking and actions in dealing with disasters. A questionnaire survey was conducted targeting accommodation facilities in Ehime Prefecture regarding the response to the heavy rain in July 2018. Survey items were set using the frameworks of social learning theory. As a result, it became clear that the higher the result expectation for support during a disaster and higher the sense of self-efficacy, the more respondents tended to have high intentional support actions. Also, facilities that took responsive actions during a disaster was more likely to have higher result expectation and the sense of self-efficacy, which showed that track records of support activities increased the intentions to take supportive actions. Further, facilities that participated in resident activities around the facility were more likely to respond to a disaster. Therefore, the results suggested that increasing social capital was effective in taking action during an emergency.
