Abstract
Mr. Yoneda's report analyzes, from a sociological point of view, a process of establishing a legal aid project for victims of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. His report is valuable in that this is the first of its kind. Hopefully, there will be more studies such as the examination of the roles of legal process in disaster relief and analysis of the measures taken by the government to help the victims of the earthquake. The Public Assistance Act to victims of natural disasters, which was passed in May, 1998 as a result of citizen initiative, has potential benefits as well as limitations. Considering the rising number of suicides and deaths of neglected victims of the earthquake, an examination of the effectiveness of the law with regard to its placement within the Japanese disaster law system is necessary.
