要約

　岩手山に隣接する4町村の住民に対して、火山噴火に対する準備状況および不安や心配・GHQ28・NEO−FFIについて質問紙調査を行い、以下の5つの知見を得た。

1．岩手山周辺地域の住民の78％は噴火の発生時期を最も心配しており、噴火による被害が予測できない不安も半数以上にみられた。

2．火山災害に関して97％の人が不安を感じているにもかかわらず、具体的な災害準備をしている人はわずか15％であった。

4．60歳以上では噴火に備えた家族での対応策の話合いをしている割合は高いが、避難場所の確認率は低く、避難訓練をしていないことの心配が高率であった。

5．岩手山に隣接する4町村では、GHQが6点以上の高得点者が42.1％と一般成人の標準割合よりも高率であった。
