Many monuments have been constructed to commemorate the Hanshin–Awaji earthquake. If a memorial represents the need to reaffirm one's ties to “a world,” each monument is supposed to provide an image of that “world.” An analysis of the monuments shows that they are greatly influenced by the character of the various organizations and groups that constructed them. Therefore, the monuments almost appear to be linked to the duties or functions of these groups. However, two realities appeared across these organizations. At first, there is a pattern in the monuments to mourn the death of those with whom one in familiar. It expresses a spiritual feeling about death. Second, we often find the word “we” in the monuments. The word “we” expresses reality in a homogeneous space. Although each reality does not correspond to a particular type of group or organization, they cannot be expressed simultaneously in the one monument. The result of the research shows that the two realities are constituted through different means.

The goal of this study was to find predictors of the mental health status of the fourth batch of Indonesian candidates coming to Japan under the Japan–Indonesia Economic Partnership Agreement, 4 months after the Great East Japan Earthquake. A four-page-long questionnaire was developed and distributed to the fourth batch of Indonesian candidates, who wished to go to Japan under the above agreement, at the venue of an intensive Japanese language course held in Depok, West Java, Indonesia, in July 2011. Seventy-six percent of the respondents were female. The average age was 24.7 (standard deviation [SD] 2.8) years old. Forty-nine percent of the respondents answered that they were very worried or somewhat worried about the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The mean Score of Knowledge about Japan, including knowledge about the working and living environments in Japan, was 53.3 and ranged from 20 to 80 (SD 7.3) points. The average score of the General Health Questionnaire, which was used as a marker of the mental health status in this study, was 36.1 (SD 4.2) points. The result of a multivariate analysis showed that the Score of Knowledge about Japan was significantly correlated to the General Health Questionnaire score (β=−.234, P < 0.05), but the degree of worry about the earthquake was not. The result indicated that knowledge about the actual living and working conditions in Japan is a major indicator of the mental health of the candidates, but not their worry concerning the earthquake.
本研究的目的是在东日本大地震发生4个月后,寻找根据日印尼经济伙伴关系协定来到日本的第四批印尼候选人的心理健康状况的预测因子。2011年7月,在印度尼西亚西爪哇省德波举行的日语强化课程上,编制了一份四页长的问卷,分发给希望根据上述协议前往日本的第四批印度尼西亚候选人。76%的受访者是女性。平均年龄24.7岁(标准差[SD] 2.8)岁。49%的受访者回答说,他们对东日本大地震的后果感到非常担心或有些担心。对日本的了解(包括对日本工作和生活环境的了解)的平均得分为53.3分,范围在20至80分之间(SD 7.3)。一般健康问卷的平均得分为36.1 (SD 4.2)分,是本研究中心理健康状况的一个标志。多变量分析结果显示,日本知识得分与一般健康问卷得分呈显著相关(β=−)。234, P < 0.05),但对地震的担忧程度没有。结果表明,对日本实际生活和工作条件的了解是候选人心理健康的主要指标,而不是他们对地震的担忧。
