Description

The study aims at assessing the actual state of local citizen awareness toward volunteer activities. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 94 persons, chiefly participants in the volunteer activity lecture organized by the university. The survey subjects were 88.3% women, whose average age was 44.8. Also, 40.9% had previous volunteer work experience, with 16.7% still actively involved. Of these, most were involved in work for "disabled persons" and "children," both in the past and present. Among those who said they "do not have the opportunity or motive (to work as volunteer)," there was a significant number of potential volunteer workers. Two motives were found to attract the subjects to volunteer work for the good of others and for oneself. In child care volunteer work that one can possibly do, "taking care of babies" and "playing with older children" rated the highest. The issues for the future are organization building and training people to become coordinators between prospective volunteers and users who seek such help.
