Review of Hazard Information Collected for Local Disaster Prevention by Residents in a Historical Local Town

Abstract

We are developing a hazard map creation support system for historical local towns. Our system aims at collecting specific information received from residents and raising resident's consciousness to disasters by recording hazardous locations where residents feel danger in case of disasters. In this paper, we examine the hazard information of the area collected by the residents themselves in using the system. While exchanging opinions, the residents review the validity and completeness of the information gathered by walking around the area. We also consider how to integrate and share it throughout the region.
