| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted evaluation, verification and development on evacuation centers in the winter season. When the outside temperature was around -15 degrees Celsius, indoor temperature of the gymnasium was around 0 degrees Celsius and the floor surface was -2 degrees Celsius. This temperature may cause hypothermia when sleeping. The shelter developed was operated without heating in the severe winter season of -17 degrees Celsius. As a result, the temperature inside the shelter was only warmed by body temperature, and it remained at about 4 degrees Celsius. Even with no heating, carbon dioxide concentration increased due to human breath, reaching the upper limit of social environmental standard concentration. In the sleep situation survey, 40% woke up by cold weather. The rise in blood pressure was caused by the low temperature. It is urgent to develop an appropriate heating method. In the winter, it is necessary to carry out the assessment of the evacuation site environment in the disaster.
