A STUDY ON THE ACTUAL CONDITION OF FLOODING RISK AND FLOODING COUNTERMEASURES FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF SPATIAL COMPOSITION OF CULTURAL FACILITIES IN THE TOKYO

Abstract

The flood risk of cultural facilities located in the expected flood zone of Tokyo’s 23 wards was assessed from the perspective of their location distribution and spatial configuration.

The actual conditions and issues related to flooding countermeasures at each facility were clarified, and issues to be considered regarding flooding countermeasures were compiled. As a result, 161 cultural facilities, or about 30%, were found to be at risk of flooding.

While approximately 80% of the facilities were aware of the risk of flooding, it was found that only a limited number of facilities have taken hard and soft measures against flooding.
