Abstract
This study aims to clarify the current status of residents' reading of volcanic hazard maps
for Mt. Fuji. To this end, we conducted a questionnaire survey of residents in the area at the foot
of Mt. Fuji. As a result, the following three findings were obtained. First, the difficulty in
deciphering the maps varies depending on the conditions of volcanic phenomena shown on the
maps. Second, residents cannot read the volcano hazard maps properly because they show
multiple hazards overlapping. Third, the older generation may be unable to decipher hazard
information on hazard maps compared to the younger generation.
