A Study on Population Change and Residence Induction by Land Use Regulation in Flood Inundation Hazard Areas in Case of Maximum Expected Rainfall

This thesis presents an analysis of data from Japan's 2020 national census, estimating population and households in disaster-prone regions. These regions include flood-risk areas, tsunami-vulnerable zones, and sediment disaster areas. In Level 2 flood risk areas, around 50.4 million people reside, with nearly half in multi-unit housing and 28% living above flood depths. Approximately 8.2 million people inhabit tsunami-prone areas, and 5.3 million people live in sediment disaster hazard zones. Major cities in disaster-prone areas have a large population, but a significant portion of residents resides in multi-unit housing, which doesn't always correlate directly with higher disaster risks.
