Abstract:Peoplefs awareness of disaster prevention has risen, after the Great East Japan Earthquake. In local communities, the decision of the disaster prevention plan is pushed forward. In the first step, the evacuation plan is considered, however there are various limitations on-the-job training with a lot of residents' participation. Especially, it is impossible to take account of disaster conditions such as the collapses of the liquefaction, the collapses of the block wall and the collapses of the wooden house etc. in normal circumstances. In this study, an evacuation simulation system with tsunami and high tide disaster prediction is developed, and using this developed simulation system damage situations in a local community are estimated. The data base system based on the simulation results is developed in order to make effective use for evacuation for a variety of disaster situations. A costal area in Takamatsu City is selected, and some evacuation plans reflecting the disasters situations obtained by the simulation data base are made and examined.
