仮設住宅における猫の管理に関する研究
政策･メディア研究科 修士課程 1 年
川田 千尋
概要
災害後の仮設住宅の生活において，避難者の心の支えとなりうる存在として猫が考えられる。しかし、アレルギーを持つ人や猫嫌いの人にとってはストレスになる可能性もある．本調査では、猫の糞による臭い被害が出ている仮設住宅を調べた。猫の糞がよく見つかる建物に住んでいる42世帯に話を聞き、18世帯から回答があった。ヒアリング内容は、①猫からどのような被害を受けているか、②エサを与えているか、③猫の管理をするとしたら参加できるか、の３点である。ヒアリングの結果、無被害が３世帯、被害世帯が13/18世帯（ゴミ荒らし：２世帯、糞尿１０世帯、両方：１世帯）であった。エサをやっている世帯は３世帯、自治会長の注意によりエサやりを止めた世帯が１世帯であった。また、ある１棟に被害が集中し、その棟以外の住人は比較的問題を大きく捉えていなかった。逆に、その棟の住人にとって、問題は深刻なようであった。１世帯の子供はアレルギーを持っていました。ただし、解決の糸口が見えた。被害に合っている13世帯のうち9世帯は、管理さえすれば猫が居て良いという回答であった。アレルギーを持つ世帯は、医師との相談が必要だが、毛などの掃除には協力してくれるという回答者がいた。来年の調査では、猫の管理に関する指導を行い、住民たちのストレス軽減に繋がっているか検査を行う予定である。

Possibility of cats management in the
temporary housing
Chihiro Kawata
Abstract
Free roaming cats
may be the support of sufferer from disaster in temporary housing. However, some
people, for example, who have allergy to cats or don’t like cats, may get away
from the damage and stress of cats. I asked people living in temporary housing
about cats. I want to know whether the problem of cats can be solved by
management of cats. I researched in Kesennuma ground temporary housing of
Kesennuma City. Cats who live in near this temporary housing leave their
excrement in this temporary housing, and some people send complaints about smell
of excrement and hygiene to block associations. I visit to 42 rooms of south
area in this temporary housing. 18 households of 42 rooms answer my questions
about cats. My questions had 3 point. ①How problem this
person damaged from cats? ②Is this person
feeder or not? ③How about management of cats? 3 households didn’t damage from cats,
and 13 households damaged from cats (scavenging garbage: 2, about excrements:
10, both of them: 1). Feeders are 3 families, they didn’t damage from cats.
Complains are concentrated in one of housing, address 8-X. Other housing people
didn’t think this problem serious.
I found the key for solving these problems. 9 households of 13damaged households
said “If feeders clean excrements, I will allow their feeding”. In next stage, I
teach management of cats and check the smell and stress level of
people.
1.
Introduction/Background
Japanese Tohoku district damaged from the earthquakes in
March 11, 2011. 19,503 people are dead or missing(警察庁, 2011/11/8 now), and 51,886 families live in temporary
housing now(復興対策本部事務局, 2011/11/7 now). Some
people have hurt in their hearts. One of healing for them is Animals.
Kobe City in
Japan was hit by strong earthquake in 1995. After this earthquake, Kobe City
allowed living with pet in all temporary housing of Kobe. This was Japanese
Local Governments’ first effort about pets after disaster. Japanese Government
set up the animal section in Japan Veterinary Medical Association after Tohoku
earthquake 2011. Japanese Government have made effort about pets 10 years, but
have not focused their telescope on temporary housing.
The problem of cat’s excrement smell is serious in general.
Some people want healing from cats. Some people hate smell of excrements, and
some people cat’s cry in heat. We must solve these problems.
２. Purpose
Objective of this study is making environment which people
can live with cats, not stress in temporary housing.
I researched
about problem of pets by hearing in Kesennuma City of Tohoku district from on
May 2011. I knew one of temporary housing area have the problem of cats. In
November 26 and 27, 2011, I asked people who live in temporary housing about
cats for knowing 3 points.
①Checking on
the damage.
②Researching
feeling of the people who live in temporary housing.
③About
management of cats.
In this research, I had consideration whether they can
manage about cats, and sent result and suggestion for delegate of this temporary
housing.
３. Study Area
Figure1: Location of
Kesennuma City
I research the
temporary housing of Kesennuma Ground in Kesennuma City. Kesennuma City is
City of fish processing in Miyagi prefecture(Figure1), and damaged from
Tohoku earthquake and Tsunami 2011. 1,362 people
are dead or missing(気仙沼市, 2012/1/26 now). I ask people
about their pets in evacuation center in March 2011. Most of refugees’
pets lived in their cars in Kesennuma City. Some people
threw away their cats on road because summer was coming and high temperature
inside car is danger for pets. Why only cats? In Japan, cats allow free roaming
on road, dogs can not. In June, refugees started to live in temporary housing. Kesennuma City made 3 rules
about pets in temporary housing.
①Please get
permission neighbors.
②Please keep
pets inside your room.
③If happen the problem about your pets, your pets
will have to remove.
These rules are
difficult keeping for cat owners because Kesennuma City is country area, and
people have allowed free roaming for cats. They could not keep cats inside. I
research 4 temporary housing in Kesennuma. Some people live with a dog, but no
people live with cats. One of these temporary housings has the problem. This is
Kesennuma ground. Some people start to feed cats who are maybe thrown away. Cats
leave their excrements on road and flower bed in temporary housing area. This is
the first time when they live in overcrowded area for most of them. They knew
smell of cats’ excrements. Some people send complaints
about smell of excrement and hygiene to block associations.
In November 26 and 27, 2011, I asked people who live in
temporary housing about cats. I allowed this research by association.
I visit to 42 rooms of south area in this temporary
housing (Red square of figure2).
Figure2:
Area of reseach
18 households of
42 rooms answer my questions about cats. In this time, I didn’t ask them about
jobs and income because these questions maybe make stress for suffers. This date
is holiday, and some households were male.
3 households didn’t damage from cats, and 13 households damaged from
cats (scavenging garbage: 2, about excrements: 10, both of them: 1). Feeders are
3 families, they didn’t damage from cats. Complains are concentrated in one of
housing, address 8-X. Other housing people didn’t think this problem
serious.
2 household said
“We can try to clean excrement of cats, and cats scattering garbage”. 9
households of 13 damaged households said “If feeders clean excrements, I will
allow their feeding”. 3 households said “I want to become no cats”. I found the
key for solving these problems. 9 households of 13 damaged households think
about “Cats can live in this area, if they don’t damage me”. All household said
that we don’t solve this problem killing cats because cats sufferer too, and
feeder make effort to solve this problem. For example, one of feeder made toilet
for cats, but located of this toilet is so bad because smell can go to other
room. They need specialty advice.
I thought that
they can solve this problem by management of cats, if give them easy special
knowledge. I will try to teach management of cat next stage. There is many way
of management of cat in Japan and World, I will choose some successful way of
making and locating toilet, not scavenging garbage, and
against allergy etc. I will check the smell and stress level of people, and
analyze relationship between the management and effect.
５. Conclusion
People who want healing from cats feed cats in Kesennuma
temporary housing area after disaster, but it is problem for some people in same
temporary housing. They may live in temporary housing with cats and without
problem of cats by easy management of cats. In November 26 and 27, 2011, I
research the temporary housing of Kesennuma Ground in Kesennuma City. I asked
people who live in temporary housing about cats for knowing 3 points.
①Checking on the damage. ②Researching feeling of the people who live in temporary
housing. ③About management of cats. Some household thought this
problem seriously, but most of household thought that cats can live in this
area, if they don’t damage sufferer. I sent this result and suggestion for
delegate of this temporary housing. I will try to teach management of cat next stage.
I will check the smell and stress level of people, and
analyze relationship between the management and effect.
