Abstract
This lighting environment project simultaneously proposes that the unique landscape of the coastal area can be perceived and that residents can evacuate promptly when a disaster occurs at night. Lighting social experiments were carried out for one month around Isuzu Shrine which overhang into the bay in Kesennuma city. Experimental results showed that the recognition of evacuation routes and elevation direction were improved and the landscape peculiar to Kesennuma was also configurated. It was shown that it would contribute to securing nighttime safety by moderately expressing geographic features and townscape.
