“…If fire occurs in these structures, we can easily expect lots of difficulties in firefighting processes. Furthermore, narrow alleys between houses in the town can make another hindrance in the case of fire trucks working, and also make difficulties for the evacuation of residents [7]. We expect our concept of ICT-based DPD can be applied on these situations as an integrated monitoring scheme with USN sensing networks.…”

This paper presents a novel concept of Disaster Prevention Design (DPD) and its derived subjects and topics for the safety of folk villages in both Korea and Japan. Nowadays, design concepts are focused on 'human-oriented nature' as a whole and this tendency fits to be appropriate for disaster prevention against real dangers of a future society, which is expected to have far more complicated features. On the other hand, convergences have performed with other areas in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT) so that we can easily find examples like 'the strategy of ICT-based convergence' of the Korean Government in 2014. Modern content designs including UI (user interface) and USN (ubiquitous sensor network) have been developed as one of the representative areas of ICT & UD (universal design) convergences. These days this novel concept of convergence is overcoming the existing limitations of the conventional design concept focused on product and/or service. First of all, from that point our deduced topic or subject would naturally be a monitoring system design of constructional structures in folk villages for safety. We offer an integrated model of maintenance and a management-monitoring scheme. Another important point of view in the research is a safety sign or sign system installed in folk villages or traditional towns and their standardization. We would draw up and submit a plan that aims to upgrade signs and sign systems applied to folk villages in Korea and Japan. According to our investigations, floods in Korea and earthquakes in Japan are the most harmful disasters of folk villages. Therefore, focusing on floods in the area of traditional towns in Korea would be natural. We present a water-level expectation model using deep learning simulation. We also apply this method to the area of 'Andong Hahoe' village which has been registered with the World Cultural Heritage of UNESCO. Folk village sites include 'Asan Oeam', 'Andong Hahoe' and 'Chonju Hanok' villages in Korea and 'Beppu Onsen' village in Japan. Traditional Streets and Markets and Safe Schools and Parks are also chosen as nearby test-beds for DPD based on ICT. Our final goal of the research is to propose and realize an integrated disaster prevention and/or safety system based on big data for both Korea and Japan.

“…Previously, we conducted an interview survey to determine residents' perceptions of temporary safe places (Mishima et al 2013b). We asked 48 residents to describe their perceptions of routes they might take to travel from their homes to temporary safe places in the study area.…”

“…In addition, all solutions should promote residents' abilities to rescue vulnerable individuals who reside alone or are bedridden. The authors of the current study examined fire danger in a particular study area (Mishima and Taguchi 2011) and examined evacuation route planning for historic areas (Mishima et al 2013a(Mishima et al , 2013b.

Historic preservation areas are particularly vulnerable to disaster because many people inhabit these areas. These areas contain wooden houses built close to one another. It can be difficult to manage widening narrow streets in these areas to prevent disasters. Therefore, it is crucial to develop two-way evacuation routes in historic preservation areas. This study attempts to develop two-way evacuation routes for a historic preservation area based on the probability of street blockade use. We chose to study Hamanaka Machi Hachihongi Syuku, which is located in Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, Japan. It was designated an important preservation district that includes traditional buildings under the Act for the Protection of Cultural Properties. First, we defined the probability of street blockade use in historic preservation areas by examining a street blockade for a normal city area created by the Tokyo Fire Agency. We examined streets less than 4 m in width, the structure of houses that lined those streets, and the distances from houses to main streets that were more than 4 m in width. Second, we calculated evacuation times from each house to final evacuation sites with the use of blockades and in cases with over 70% probability of street blockade use based on a multi-agent system. We also considered the rooms in which vulnerable people sleep. The results revealed: (1) In cases that did not use blockades, evacuations, including evacuations of vulnerable people, were completed in ten minutes (2) In cases with over 70% probability of street blockade use, some evacuations were not completed because they required the use of roundabout routes to avoid blockades. We discovered some fundamental problems involved in the management of evacuation plans developed to prevent large disasters that relate to the determination of appropriate streets to be blocked in the study area.

“…In 2013, Mishima et al, studied evacuation route management in historic areas of Hizen-Hama. The study proposes using meaning of place to create a choice of evacuation [8]. In 2017, Rina Oktari et al and A. Sakurai et al, presented the necessity for a community to be prepared.…”

This research focused on document review, field survey, and mapping methodology to compare the critical issues on disaster-related historic urban landscape management. The study emphasizes the ‘Denkenchiku’ which is the guideline and regulation of historic preservation of urban landscape derive from the Japan Preservation procedure. The historic areas, mostly, using vulnerable material as the main structure or decorative elements. In this study, it used the UNESCO world heritage convention as discussion topics, especially in term of Factors affecting the properties and urban present/future challenge such post-pandemic historic city. The study compared the spatial aspect, the regulation, community participation of disaster prevention practice between Chiang Mai’s historic area (Thailand) and Hizen-Hama (Japan). The results show the best practice of Hizen-Hama which allows Chiang Mai historic city to adopt the idea and pragmatic issues in disaster-related management. As Chiang Mai initiated the living historic area, it was able to integrate the Denkenchiku practice to enhance the living heritage with Disaster Risk Management. Along with the participation of community residents in the historic area who concern about local risk. As implied in the policy recommendation, the local initiative will act as a focal agent when combines heritage preservation with disaster risk management.
