Abstract
The research work was carried out in order to get the fundamental materials for the housing restoration planning aftter the South-Hyogo Earthquake by grasping the housing demands for the permanent residence of the sufferers of the disaster who continue to live in the temporary housings. An questionnaire survey was executed for 1, 855 subjects living in Kobe, Takarazuka and Toyonaka Cities, during November in 1995 and February in 1996, and 840 were recovered. About 90% of the subjects occupying about one-thirds of the total subjects, who had lived in the detached own dwellings before the disaster, desire to live in the same type detached dwellings afterwards, where as almost all the other subjects desire to live in the public rental dwellings and they prefer to the mixed dwelling type of various generations, group dwelling type exclusively for the elderly and the dwelling type with life support welfare service. However when they feel weak in the physical strength, they tend to prefer to live in the latter two types. As a whole almost all the subjects desire to consider the countermeasure to live easily for the elderly in the housings hereafter.
