Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examines the use of smartwatches to present information to support the decision of whether or not to use off-street routes in times of emergency, such as a disaster. In the experimental investigation, we explored what factors could exist to determine whether or not to pass through parking lots, temples and shrines, and parks in the central area of Takamatsu City (where the maximum tsunami is expected to be 5 meters) by repeating experiments. The results were discussed at domestic and international conferences to deepen the discussion. Based on the findings of this study, we plan to conduct further research on evacuation guidance during disasters, focusing on areas that have been recognized as having only minor damage from disasters.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、避難誘導でこれまで対象とされてこなかった道路外のショートカット避難を主軸にしたという点において、学術的にも社会的にも意義があると考えられる。道路外を通行することは、結果的に通り抜けできない場合や、通り抜けることができたとしても出口がわからない場合もあるために基本的には推奨されない。しかし、津波のように一刻を争う避難が必要な場合は、道路外の通行の検討も必要である。本研究成果により、そのように捉えられるルートにおける避難誘導表示の設置の検討などの議論が活発になることが期待される。
