Abstract
About the time at Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Hanaore, Nishiyama, and Obaku fault that pass through urban area in Kyoto city have been activate, so it is necessary to act against the huge disaster in the urban area, Kyoto city. This area has a lot of traditional wooden houses, so it is vulnerable for the disaster. But we can't change the townscape only to prevent damage in a disaster because it is one of the cultural assets in Japan. Therefore we have to consider risk mitigation plans after a disaster. In this plan we have to focus aged people as exposures, because most of them have physical handicaps in daily life, and cannot avoid many difficulties in a disaster.
In this paper, we discuss risk mitigation for aged residents living in the vulnerable areas toward disaster risk. Firstly, we show the vulnerable areas defined by elements concerning blind alleys. To mitigate the disaster risk we focus activation of community. We show the two types of community; living point based community and service spot based community. And we denote the importance of the latter one and the allocation plan considering disaster risk mitigation.
