The number of temporary houses for the great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake are 48300 units. In this paper we analysed their location and the character of their residents. Firstly, the average age of residents is higher in Kobe city and towns in Awaji island. Secondly, the proportion of aged persons is higher (40-50%) in the temporary houses constructed earlier and for temporary houses constructed later this proportion decreases to 30%. Thirdly, the most of people who lived in the privately owned houses before the earthquake hope to return to their own houses, and the most of people who lived in rental houses hope to live in public housing.The average yearly income for the group of private ownership was 4.7 million yen before the disaster and for the rental house group it was 3.3 million yen which amounted to difference more than 1 million yen.
