Since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, disaster information systems have been built in many local governments, but there are cases in which they did not function effectively in actual disaster response. In this paper, we focused on the classification concept of information system / business system about the problem that such disaster information system is not utilized in the practice of disaster response. First, we observed the actual disaster response and conducted an interview survey to the disaster prevention personnel of municipalities. As a result, it became clear that there is a difference in required functions (referred to as "system-gap" in this paper) due to differences in disaster response operations between prefectures and municipalities, It is one of the factors hindering the utilization of the disaster information system.
Furthermore, from the survey results of the questionnaire survey for the basic municipalities of 1741 nationwide (2017a), it became clear that such "system-gap" is not a case in a specific area but a nationwide issue of concern.
