41.8 percent of the temporary housing residents destroyed their dwellings by the eathquake on January 17, 1995 are over 65 years old. The report has tried to grasp the background of the subjects necessitating the life support services for ADL, and to find out desirable living ways hereafter.<BR>Questionnaire surveys were executed for 1855 subjects living in the temporary housings in Kobe, Takarazuka and Toyonaka Cities, during November in 1995 and February in 1996, and 840 were recovered. It was clarified that there exist a lot of the elderly who feel incovenient in ADL due to the arthralgia and/or the rheumatism even if they have no difficulty of walking around by themselves. Earnest desires for the life support service have been recognized, derived from the fact that many temporary housing complexes have been located in much more inconvenient access areas than the previous dwellings before the outbreak of the earthquake. Above results suggest the necessity of the substantial supply of public rental housings and facilities concerned with the elderly in the possibly convenient access areas and the positive introduction of the life support service.
