Abstract

In government and local government, a hazard map have been constructed to enlighten the public. However, it is difficult to use adequate manpower and financial resources. It is necessary to extend the creation of disaster avoidance map from local government to citizens and elementary and junior high school. In this paper, a creation supporting system of regional disaster avoidance map was proposed and tested. The systems were developed using open source GIS. And the system was used in three elementary schools for testing the usability, application, and amusement. As the results, there are a few challenges on usability. But, the system has the capability for raising awareness of disaster and evacuation route. And, elementary school students cooperated together to create the route and dangerous points on map.
