Hamamatsu is an ordinance-designated city with a large population and area, and has diverse regional characteristics from the mountains to the sea. Hamamatsu has experienced major disasters in the past and is considered to be at risk of future disasters. The purpose of this study is to characterize disaster risk, focusing on regional characteristics in Hamamatsu, and to consider reorganization of community development. We classified districts into types based on disaster risk and urban planning and studied problems of disaster risk and disaster prevention in the districts. The coastal district has a wide range that is expected to be inundated by tsunamis and floods. The plain district has many residential, commercial, and agricultural areas, most of which are located in the flood-prone zones. The mountainous district has many landslide hazard areas, and the population is decreasing and aging. We analyzed the relationship between the location of facilities for persons requiring special care and evacuation centers. We considered the relationship between disaster risk and urban planning, and the problems of disaster prevention and community development.
