A STUDY ON THE PRACTICAL USE OF WELLS IN THE GREAT HANSHIN-AWAJI EARTHQUAKE DISASTER

In The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster, open spaces, trees and water resources were used beneficially as urban stock. This study focuses on wells, which played an important role while other lifelines were stopped, for example, extinguishing fires, supplying water for houses after the earthquake and so on. The purpose of this study is clarifying the role of well, using the result of analysis about these points, through a comparison of four neighborhood units. (i)The range of well users. (ii)The term of usage. (iii)The purpose of use. (iv)The way of opening to the public.
