[HDS09-11] 大分県における特別支援学校の避難訓練と避難行動の現状と課題
キーワード：特別支援学校、避難訓練、避難行動、災害弱者、大分県
1. Introduction
The Great East Japan Earthquake (March 11, 2011) led to a large number of casualties and missing persons. The total deaths due to the earthquake in Miyagi Prefecture was 0.4 % of the total population, and it reached 1.7 % of the total disabled population. In recent years, natural disasters in various parts of Japan have caused serious damage to special support schools. For this reason, research has been conducted on evacuation drills and disaster prevention education in special support schools. A questionnaire survey of teachers and staff at special support schools found that about 40 % of those surveyed indicated that they lacked confidence in evacuating students in the event of a disaster (Koyama et al., 2020).
In this study, we investigated the current situation and issues regarding evacuation behavior in special support schools in a questionnaire survey. In addition, we observed evacuation drills at special support schools and extracted the current status and issues related to evacuation drills.
2. Result and Discussion
1) In the questionnaire survey, on the one hand, 80 % of the responding teachers had seen the hazard maps. On the other hand, about 50 % indicated that they did not know the details of the disaster risks in their area.
2) In the free text responses to the questionnaire, teachers with a high level of understanding of local disaster risks expressed themselves positively about the evacuation drills. On the other hand, teachers with low levels of understanding of the local disaster risks were anxious about the evacuation drills. This difference may have an effect on actual evacuation behavior.
3) It was found that the walking speed of children with walking difficulties was much lower on steep slopes than that of ordinary women and men.
4) When teachers with a poor understanding of local disaster risk evacuate students who are slow to evacuate, they are more likely to choose the wrong route and exhibit incorrect evacuation behavior.
