Fukuchiyama City in Kyoto Prefecture has frequently experienced flooding and landslides in recent years. Therefore, residents are becoming more aware of disasters, and efforts have been made to examine evacuation in the community through cooperation between the community and the local government. In this initiative, local area risk information, which can be used as a trigger for evacuation in the region, is being jointly reviewed by the community and the government, and efforts are being made to link this information to evacuation in the community. One of the characteristics of this initiative is that it uses a variety of methods based on the characteristics of the community and the ideas of the residents.
In this study, we will focus on the formation process and characteristics of the “Community Evacuation Switch” that triggers such evacuation, and analyze the collaboration and relationship between the community and the government in the formation of the switch. In response to the passive nature of evacuation information, we will examine the effects and significance of joint evacuation discussions between the community and the government for evacuation in the community.
