Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to find measures to promote evacuation behavior by focusing on the positive aspects of evacuation. The comfort of evacuation shelters was identified as one of the factors that promote evacuation behavior. Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, dispersed evacuation to places such as hotels and relatives' homes has been recommended. Although the general public would like to evacuate to comfortable places like hotels, it has been shown that the local government has not sufficiently prepared measures for this, making it practically difficult.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

災害時の避難行動を促進するすることは古くから繰り返し指摘されている問題であり、そのための施策をリスク認知以外のアプローチによって明らかにすることは学術的に新しい試みである。一般の人々が快適な避難所に避難したいと希望していても、現実的にはその体制が整っていないという実態が明らかになった。分散避難を感染症流行時の例外的な事例とせずに、避難所の状況を改善するために研究成果を社会に伝えていく。
