We studied the guide-map of earthquake emergency management for individuals, which were published by Department of Management Management of each Ward Office in Tokyo. We conducted two kinds of Questiormaire surveys,one was for office stuff who managed the publication of guide map, and another was for residents in two ward-areas who used guide map. As results, both the gap between demands of residents and actual maps and the defense of Information contents among ward-areas are clarified. On the bases of these surveys, We propose two kinds of new guide maps for urban earthquake disaster. One is a guide map in scale of 1:5,000 for residents to defend their town and people through rescue, fire-fighting, evacuation and other activities by themselves, which informed the details of districts and facilities.Another guide map is in scale of 1:50,000, which is for commuters who are difficult to come home because of long distance to home to walk through the congested ward-areas.

This study clarified the uniformity among the 34 types of municipal earthquake hazard maps published in Kyoto Prefecture by referring to the method of preparation and contents of the municipal earthquake hazard maps. In addition, through the "Municipal Earthquake HM Linkage Map," this study clarified the consistency among the municipal earthquake hazard maps. As a result, it was revealed that the descriptions and expressions in the earthquake municipal hazard maps were not standardized among municipalities. It was also revealed that the seismic intensity was not consistent when viewed by neighboring municipalities when viewed in adjacent municipalities.

According to amendment of the Flood Control Law, all municipalities in Japan which have flood risk are obliged to make flood hazard map and to demonstrate flood risk to the public. Before March 31, 2010, 1109 of 1302 municipalities have already completed manufacture of flood hazard map. However,the contents, design of these hazard maps are various that make the hazard maps hardly provide people effective information while evacuating from flood. It is important to develop effective hazard map for saving human lives. This paper proposes a standardized method for developing effective hazard map based on the analysis of all municipality hazard maps in Hyogo Prefecture.

Hazard maps are useful information for residents to imagine damage and protect their lives and property. In this study, the map side of the hazard map was organized and analyzed from the viewpoint of design, and its features and problems were clarified. We classified flood and landslide hazard maps for Hyogo prefecture from a design perspective. For "representation", items were set and quantified based on Bertin's visual variables. Regarding the contents of the hazard map corresponding to the "plan", items were set and quantified based on national standards, and the hazard maps were classified into four types. As a result of the analysis, the proportions that meet the national standards were also different. As a whole, it was found that the awareness of map representation was low.

In tsunami-prone areas, it is obligatory to make evacuation plans according to the actual conditions of the area and to carry out regular evacuation drills, however, it has become more difficult due to the weakening of local community associations according to various social change such as aging of residents. The aim of this study is to develop new method of evacuation drill by utilizing the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which reduce demerit which the existing other methods such as using application of smart phone, in order to make evacuation plan improve and create sustainability of evacuation drill by local community. This paper explains our evacuation drill system with BLE in comparison to other methods, and shows characteristics of our method through an application Toi Oyabu district of Izu City.
