Abstract
Public works for preventing disaster must be implemented for emergency. But if confrontation between construction of safety and environment preservation is once occurred, the propriety of public work tends to be decided on ordinary residents' consciousness and an opinion of few people who actually met emergency such as floods damage is often neglected.
This interview research was carried out for the residents suffered from a flood and the others for investigating the residents' consciousness about public works, disaster prevention, environment preservation, and so on. As a result of analysis, it was shown up that there are some differences in their consciousness about disaster prevention according to the degree of flood damage, and the degree of shock by flood damage is dependent on people's age or sex, and the target of residents' anger as well.
This paper offers the material to notice such tendency of residents' consciousnes.
