Abstract

 This study conducted a questionnaire survey for consciousness of residents on the disaster prevention. Additionally, an evacuation simulation model is developed to investigate the disaster situation of inhabitants under refuging by including the calculations of flood inundation. By investigating from the statistical approaches regarding the causal relation on the disaster prevention consciousness, effective policies for the disaster prevention consciousness of residents were considered. The simulation results quantitatively clarify the time required to the evacuation sites and the number of disaster victim under refuging. This simulation model will be effective to educate the citizen for a disaster prevention with the visualization.
