The probability of occurrence of Nankai Trough earthquake is said to be 70 to 80% in the next 30 years. In Shikoku region where massive damage is expected, appropriate disaster prevention measures are needed according to the regional characteristics. In many remote islands, population declines and aging progresses and there is concern about non-residentialization. Furthermore, the current situation is that disaster prevention measures are delayed due to the influence of geographical and social issues.
In this research, with regard to the issues and countermeasures for disaster prevention measures in remote islands, we analyze cases of islands with no industrial foundation and islands with industrial foundation, and describe the ideal way of disaster prevention countermeasures in remote islands.
