Abstract
Many public housing apartments for sufferers had been provided in damaged areas of the Hanshin-Awaji Big Earthquake. But there are many problems, and one of the typical problems is about the supports for residents who have physical and psychological damage. The community power is an important essence for this countermeasure. So it is necessary to support the community in a variety of way. We investigated the outside supporters which made by public program and clarified the current community's situation and supporter's condition. It is clear as follows:
·Outside supporters contribute to get up the sense and activity of residents for communication.
·Communication among residents is larger inlarge apartments (more than 200 units) thansmall apartments (less 50 units) in the view of the supporters.
·Outside supporters activity is concerned with the rate of the participation for acommunity activity.
