一般論文

In the event of a disaster, various entities engage in support activities for the affected areas. Universities and the large number of potential student volunteers may place an important role in disaster response and recovery. This paper highlights examples from two universities that supported student activities in the disaster-stricken areas during the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, where individual volunteer activities were challenging due to the difficulty of securing transport and accommodation.. Initiatives included providing information, assisting with transportation, and offering accommodations. Activities carried out included supporting the management of evacuation centers, cleaning up victims' homes, creating safe spaces for children, and organizing events. There are numerous opportunities for students to be active in disaster-affected areas, and it is highly significant for universities to provide the necessary support and create an environment where willing students can participate. It is important to avoid narrowly defining the usefulness of student volunteers who can play a diverse range of roles, and to consider the balance between student initiative and university management. At the same time, the relationship between student volunteers and universities should be adaptable to the unique characteristics and available resources of each university, allowing for flexible systems to be effective. It is also necessary to consider students' psychological well-being, remain issues to be addressed in the future.
