Registration of Individual Information in Family Unit to Disaster Information System using Regional Social Networking Service

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to disaster mitigation of local communities using regional SNS, centering on the registration of individual information. The information items to be registered to the local community group of regional SNS are extracted through workshops conducted by residents. Then, user interfaces for regional SNS are designed and built. Residents living in the community register their individual information to the system. Through such an approach, authors summarize the process to promote extension of regional SNS for disaster mitigation.
