| Research Abstract |
It is impossible for the people to be well prepared before the event if they cannot understand what a disaster situation looks like. This includes all society members : politicians, public officials, researchers, mass media people, professionals, general public, etc. In our opinion, increasing the number of people that can imagine the pre- and post-disaster scenario is the key issue to be addressed in order to effectively reduce the disaster damage. Only by increasing the people's imagination capabilities, they can appropriately prepare measures before a disaster and react during a disaster situation because most of the times this will be their first disaster experience.
Recent technological advances allow a very efficient management of data as well as simulation of various situations through powerful computers. This technology can be applied in the disaster mitigation field to help the people imagine a disaster situation and in this way enhance their actions previous, during and after the event. This paper presents utilization of multimedia hazard map for disaster prevention in mega cities through optimum urban planning for the purpose of disaster reduction. Multimedia hazard map is composed of three modules : 1)universal disaster environment simulation module, 2)data archive module 3)Web 3D-GIS module. These modules help people to discuss optimum disaster mitigation planning considering various kinds of hazard.
