| Research Abstract |
In 2010, Foot-and-Mouth Disease occurred in Miyazaki Prefecture and 403 disinfecting points for vehicles were set on the road. However, at that time, it was concerned that the traffic congestions might be induced by the roadside disinfection. This study analyzed the geographical distribution of the roads which run across the areas around 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20km radius from the disease points in Kawaminami Town, Ebino City and Miyakonojo City, and examined the congestion degree of roads within the 5km radius using the Traffic Census. As a result, the data was found useful for planning the layout of the disinfection points. Further, the analyses reveal that it is possible to set the disinfecting points in the area of 5km radius while regulating the traffic, as there are resources in stock in the local government for about ten disinfecting points.
