摘要

On 11 March 2011, at 14:46 local time, a massive earthquake occurred off the Pacific coast of Japan with a magnitude of 9.0 and it triggered a massive tsunami and aftershocks. This series of devastated earthquake disaster, so called "The Great East Japan Earthquake", caused a great human and property damage on the coastal area of Iwate located at the east end of the main island of Japan that is known for the beautiful scenic coast called "Riku-chu Kaigan" and rich fishing grounds. It also generated a great amount of disaster wastes.rnMiyako Health, Welfare and Environment Center has a jurisdiction over Miyako region (Miyako and Yamada district) which consists of one city, two towns and one village (Miyako city, Yamada town, Iwaizumi town and Tanohata village) located at northern part of the coastal area of Iwate prefecture, (see Map 1)rnThe amount of disaster wastes which were generated at Miyako region account for nearly 30% of wastes generated in Iwate prefecture. It included regionally specific organic wastes such as fish and shell to produce marine products and caused sanitation problem such as offensive odors and outbreak of insect pest.rnIn consideration of these circumstances, we report our disaster waste management approaches including the control of offensive odors and insect pest from a standpoint of the local organization.%東日本大震災により生じた「災害廃棄物」は，膨大であるとともに，多種多様なものが混在しており，一定の期間で適正に処理していくには，困難を極める状況であった．また，この災害廃棄物を処理していくうえで，早急に対応が必要であったのが，魚介類等腐敗物に係る悪臭?害虫抑制であった．本報告では，被災直後からこれまでの，岩手県としての災害廃棄物処理に係る主な取り組みに併せ，悪臭?害虫抑制事例を初め，火災対応等の宮古地域における現地機関としての主な取り組み内容について概説する．
