The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationships between the characteristics of residents and a Hazard map of Komatsushima City in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. This paper reveals the problems and adequate policies for disaster mitigation at Komatsushima City. In our analysis we use Geography Information System (GIS) to determine the problems. Moreover, we consider the characteristics of residents in each area and forecasted flood areas in Komatsushima City. We also consider the location of temporary emergency evacuation spots determined before the Great East Japan Earthquake by Komatsushima City based on a Hazard Map. As the results of our analysis, we show that it is necessary to reconsider the locations based on a revised Hazard map.
