[Factor determining satisfaction with policies regarding disaster wastes: flooded areas of cities].
This study examines the factors that determine satisfaction with the policies regarding disaster wastes, focusing specifically on the case of flood. A survey was conducted of residents in previously flooded areas of Sanjyo, Fukui, and Toyooka. The respondents rated the extent to which the affected administration explained things to them, listened to their opinions, damage from the flood, and problems with disaster wastes. The results showed that the perception of the distance from home to the garbage station determined the satisfaction with the policies regarding disaster wastes among the respondents who had less disaster wastes. On the other hand, the perception of listening to their opinions determined satisfaction with the policies among the respondents who had a lot of waste. The findings suggest that the determinant factors are different depending upon the situational factors.
