STUDY OF SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR SAFETY AND REASSURANCE FROM TSUNAMI DISASTER

Abstract

The safety to the natural hazard is restrictive. However, many citizens are feeling a surfeit of the reassurance by a lot of psychological factors, normalcy bias, and so on. In this paper, a questionnaire survey was undertaken for resident's evacuation against tsunami attack and factors of its decision-making on the earthquake of Miyagiken-Oki which occurred on May 26, 2003. As the result of the survey, we suggested reassurance to the natural hazard, and considered what education the tsunami disaster prevention should be. Lastly, we advanced the social technologies to incarnate safety and reassurance to the natural hazard.
