Description

<p> As damage from torrential rains and typhoons increases in various parts of Japan, it is necessary for residents to properly perceive risk of disasters in order to encourage voluntary evacuation actions. In this study, using VR content that allows residents to visually experience flood situation, we examined the transformation of residents' disaster risk perception and disaster prevention awareness through workshops in which residents participated. As a result, residents became aware of storm surge inundation assumptions in a manner consistent with the assumptions in the hazard maps. In addition, it was suggested that the timing of actions such as preparation of items and information related to evacuation and protection of household goods may become earlier and the evacuation routes and locations were changed to avoid flood damage. The results suggest the possibility of improving the awareness of disaster prevention.</p>
