Outline of Final Research Achievements

A workshop for disaster reduction which involves local residents, local government officers and disaster prevention experts has been held in the unit of local community.　 If the local residents stack up pseudo experiences of evacuation at various virtual disasters at that workshop, it seems that we can reduce the damage at the actual disaster. In this study, we have developed a simulator for evacuation drill, which is used for the above mentioned purpose, estimating a large scale earthquake and a large scale earth quake fire.　 More specifically, we developed elemental techniques for expressing damaged urban area hit by a large scale earthquake and also developed a prototype of walkthrough in a virtual space which consists of objects in a disaster-stricken urban area.
