A system for disaster mitigation and universal designs developed from the viewpoint of people who are vulnerable to disasters

易受灾害影响的人获得备灾信息的机会通常有限，这限制了现有灾害管理系统的效力。近年来，易受灾害影响的人群范围变得越来越复杂，既有返乡困难的通勤者和游客，也有儿童、老年人、残疾人、需要长期护理或援助的人，以及国际居民。这项研究探讨了如何建立一个防灾系统，即使在没有灾害管理信息的情况下，也能够保护脆弱人群的生命。我们还研究了如何设计标志，使没有灾害管理专门知识的人能够安全撤离。

People who are vulnerable to disasters usually have limited access to information about disaster preparedness and this limits the effectiveness of the existing disaster management system. In recent years, the range of people who are vulnerable to disasters has become increasingly complex, including commuters who have difficulty returning home and tourists as well as children, elderly people, people with disabilities, people requiring long-term care or assistance, and international residents. This study examined how to build a disaster-proof system which is capable of protecting the lives of vulnerable people, even when disaster management information is not available. We also examined how to design signs which enable people without special knowledge of disaster management to evacuate safely.
