Abstract

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, many reports and books that compiled testimonies of adult victims were published. Thus, refugee situations are well known, but information on the refugee situations of Japanese students is not. This is because what actions the students took and how they sought refuge from an earthquake or tsunami have not been fully recognized. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze students' refuge behavior in the Great East Japan Earthquake and to predict the refuge behavior of students affected by future disasters. The results of the study showed that students passively acquired information about earthquakes and tsunamis and that their refuge behavior was highly dependent on adults. Immediately after an earthquake, people tended to protect themselves and stay in place until the shaking stopped. However, they tended to move to another place after the shaking occurred frequently. Students living on ria coastlines were likely to move to high places to escape the threat of earthquakes and tsunamis, whereas students living in plain regions were likely to move vertically to tall buildings, such as schools. As for the mode of movement to refugee shelters, the students arrived at the final refugee shelters in one move, and it is assumed that the refugee shelters should be decided in advance and the students should move there.

동일본 대지진 이후부터 성인 피해자들의 증언을 정리한 보도와 서적 등이 간행되어 당시의 피난 상황을 알려지게 되었다. 그러나 이러한 자료 중 학생들의 피난 상황 정보는 매우 적으며 지진이나 해일에 의해 이들이 어떤 행동을 취하고 피난을 했는지에 대해서는 충분히 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 동일본 대지진에서 학생들의 피난 행동을 분석 및 고찰하여 향후 예상되는 재난에 대한 학생들의 피난행동에 관한 지식을 얻는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구결과 학생들은 지진해일에 대한 정보를 수동적으로 얻고 있으며, 피난행동은 성인에 크게 의존하고 있었다. 지진 발생 직후 행동은 흔들림이 멈출 때까지 자신의 몸을 보호하며 가만히 있는 경우가 많았고 흔들림이 잦아든 후 다른 장소로 이동하는 취하는 경향을 알 수 있었다. 지진해일의 위협으로부터 벗어나기 위해 리아스식 해안지역 학생들은 주로 높은 곳으로 이동하였고, 평야지역 학생들은 학교 등 높은 건물로 이동하여 수직 이동하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 피난 장소로의 이동 형태는 한번의 이동으로 최종 피난장소에 도착하였으며 이는 사전에 피난 장소를 결정하고 움직였다고 판단된다.
