Research for Evaluation Method of Urban Disaster Prevention Community Considered Human Ware
There are a few of studies on the disaster prevention community itself. However, the previous methods such as a regional-risk-evaluation based on physical environment can not lead to understand the essence of community. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop a method evaluating the essence from the community which has basic elements. Community Based Disaster Prevention (CBDP) is used in order to develop the community evaluation method examining local problems and residential needs. In previous evaluation studies, physical elements were mainly analyzed in the regional risk analysis. On the other hand, it was difficult to meet the local needs in a community. The new evaluation method quantifies local needs to complement the weakness of the previous methods and understand the characteristics of the disaster prevention community environment. This evaluation method is possible to consider the necessary needs in communities.
Risk estimation in radiation carcinogenesis depends primarily on epidemiological data and hazard rate models. The A-bomb survivors follow-up provides information on the complexity of this process. Several hazard rate models are briefly discussed and illustrated using the A-bomb experience.
