災害発生後の認定こども園の保育継続における課題 : 令和5年梅雨前線による大雨及び台風2号により被災した茨城県取手市の認定こども園の事例から

本研究では，令和5年梅雨前線による大雨及び台風2号により被災した茨城県取手市の認定こども園を事例として，認定こども園における保育継続計画策定時の留意点を整理することを目的として周辺地域の内外水氾濫解析および被災園，自治体保育担当課，受け入れ先となった幼稚園・保育所を対象とした保育継続に関するインタビュー調査を実施した．内外水氾濫解析の結果，I-1園の浸水過程の特徴が明らかになり，早期の避難の必要性と避難が長時間に及ぶ場合の備えの必要性があることが示された．被災園は，代替施設を確保して3ヶ所での分散保育を行っていたが，代替施設確保が課題となっており，子どもの受け入れを可能とする代替施設を用意できるよう地域内での連携体制づくりが求められる．

The purpose of this study is to summarize the points to be considered when formulating a child-care continuity plan for certified child-care centers, using a certified child center in Toride City, Ibaraki Prefecture, which was damaged by a heavy rain caused by a rainy front and Typhoon No. 2 in 2023, as a case study. Interviews were conducted with the affected certified child center, the local government division in charge of childcare, and three kindergarten and daycare centers that had accepted the children. The affected preschools had secured alternative facilities and dispersed their childcare services among the three locations. When childcare was resumed, priority was given to children with high childcare needs, and even within the same certified child center, some children were able to resume attending certified child center early while others were not, depending on the working status of their parents. In addition, securing an alternative facility to accommodate many children is an issue, and a cooperative system within the community is needed to enable the acceptance of children.
