Visualization through GIS of Residents’ Conscious, Attitude and Activities to Prevent Disasters

In March 2005, the Cabinet Office of Japanese government drafted the –Guidelines for Evacuation Support of Vulnerable People to Disaster. And as the first-stage of support for vulnerable people, some municipalities are requesting the submission of aid agreement from people vulnerable. The results, however, are somewhat limited. In this paper, in order to verify the differences between submission rates of aid agreement within areas with high awareness of mutual-help and areas with high awareness of self-help, we have attempted to isolate factors influencing the submission rates of aid agreement according to the data collected from a questionnaire survey in Miki city, Hyogo prefecture conducted from December 2008 to January 2009.
