Abstract
On the disaster prevention plan it is important to consider of the residents appraisal because safety and comfort in the residential area should be evaluated from both sides of residents and planners. In this study, we consider the conscious measure is one of the most important indexes to analyze the safety of the residential area. Here we analyze the residents consciousness and relationship between several factors related to urban characteristics and them. The main conclusions are as follows; 1) About several uneasiness of living, we found serious points that rate of uneasiness of fire and earthquake were pretty high. That is 87 percent of the surveyed households pointed fire risk and 70 percent of them pointed earthquake risk by the households survey. 2) At the moment of earthquake residents hold uneasiness toward safety of family menbers (92%), fire spread risk (85%), fire (71%) by the individual survey. 3) For a while after earthquake, the rates of uneasiness toward cut of electric power, gas and water supply (90%), emergency activity (67%), countermeasurers of local government (67%) are comparatively high. 4) Comprehensive environmental quality of disaster prevention is closely connected with the uneasiness of fire and earthquake. 5) By multiple correlation analysis comprehensive consciousness is estimated by several conscious measures. 6) The strongest correlation was observed between comprehensive environmental quality of disaster prevention and rate of total length of roads under 4.5-meter width and another indexes which express the characteristics of area size of residential area. 7) Estimation formulae we prepare for evaluation of the environment of disaster prevention reflect the real conditions. We would like to emphasize that narrow roads such as roads under 4.5-meter width should be used for disaster prevention plan. Because such roads are pretty important areas for residents to live safe and comfort lives. The plan of residential area is more important and emergent than the plan of rural area for residents to live lives safely and comfortably.
