N2  - The primary mitigation measure for tsunamis is to develop effective warning system and evacuation strategies. As for a tool to optimize the warning system and evacuation, an integrated simulator was developed; the simulator combines hydrodynamic simulation of tsunami with warning and human-response simulations for evacuation. Furthermore, because of its visual GIS presentation, the simulator is used to educate the general public; in some sense, the simulator can be considered as a dynamic hazard map. In this research, we applied the simulator to the Owase City. And by showing the simulations and conducting the questionnaire survey, before and afterward, to the residents of Owase, we found significant change in tsunami awareness and proper perception for prompt evacuation.<p /> <p>Language: ja</p>
