Human Behavior after the 2018 Osaka Earthquake
This study examined human behavior after the 2018 Osaka earthquake. The 2018 Osaka Earthquake was the first earthquake that struck an urban area during morning commuting hours in Japan. The internet questionnaire survey was carried out for the 500 people who used the railway in the earthquake occurrence. It was found that 60.4 percent of people went to work and 39.6 percent of people returned home. There were many people who answered that they went home because it was impossible to go to the office. It can be said that most Japanese think that they should go to work even if an earthquake occurs. Because the Internet was available during the earthquake, many people collected information with their smartphones. It was indicated that the anxiety and confusion were little even in the situation where people were confined in the train and the train did not move.本研究は、2018年度関西大学教育研究緊急支援経費による助成を受けた
