@article{oai:meilib.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000814, author = {安富, 淳}, journal = {比較文化, Comparative culture, the journal of Miyazaki International College}, month = {Feb}, note = {This article discusses measures for protecting foreign residents during disaster prevention and response in Japan. In particular, it sheds light on Miyazaki City’s (Miyazaki-shi’s) crisis management policy. Currently, approximately 7,000 foreigners reside in Miyazaki Prefecture, of which about 2,000 live in Miyazaki-shi. With these figures on the rise, the city administration urgently needs to establish effective measures to safeguard Miyazaki shi’s foreign residents against threats of large-scale natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and tsunamis. The article examines efforts by various other communities in Japan to develop such effective measures, including enhanced multi-language assistance, greater sensitivity to minimize cultural misunderstanding, and building more integrated information networks to better ensure emergency alarms are received by foreign residents. The author argues that the Miyazaki-shi administration has much to learn from their examples and lessons.}, pages = {49--69}, title = {宮崎市における災害時の在住外国人支援:多文化共生に向けた取り 組みと課題}, volume = {25}, year = {2021} }
