Basic Study on the Plans for Training and Activating Neighborhood Disaster Organizations based on Characteristics of Urban Areas

Abstract

We select Kita-ku of Tokyo Metropolis as a study area. After the study area is divided into 170 neighborhood disaster organizations, the information on the disaster drills and trainings and the urban areas are collected in the unit of neighborhood disaster organization. Then, we extract the general characteristics of the disaster drills and trainings and the urban areas by analyzing the collected information. After analyzing neighborhood disaster organizations from two viewpoints, the degree of activation of disaster drills and trainings and the characteristic of urban areas, by using quantification theory, we investigate the relation between the degree of activation of disaster drills and trainings and the characteristic of urban areas. Finally, based on this result, we propose the plans for training and activating neighborhood disaster organizations based on characteristics of urban areas.
