Minimalism linking to Evacuation Safety Background

Evacuation Safety
Situational Factors - Physical Environment - Local Community - Disaster Equipment - Socio-economic Environment - Income - Location
Situational factors influence to a quality of Decision-Making on pre-evacuation time.

・Their situational factors “seem” diverse in wider range of socioeconomic factors.
1994 Hanshin Earthquake
- Diverse income level - Diverse gender - Diverse location they’ve lived
Recording Track 68.2% Gathering participants through SNS
Conducting survey
To keep diversity of survey participants, this research does not limit media to gather participants.
Firstly, this survey identified whether they are minimalists or not, and ask evacuation behaviors during natural hazards.

Time First Impact
I am personally sure of being minimalists in Japan with a certain proportion during lack of experiences in oversea.
2011 Tohoku Earthquake
Because this event had over magnitude 9, that will impact the people and gave a need of evacuation.
Since the number of respondents is as small as 54, it is necessary to participate in the questionnaire and verify it in order to make this result more credible.

It depends on Situational Factors
First slide well describes and summarizes general understanding of disaster management and the literature review that this study did in thesis hours.
Situational factors consist of physical environment and socio-economic environment The research about human ability for disaster response seems dearth in searching.
Methodology Summary
Living with Less Possession Or Not
Minimalism On Their Benefits
Especially, people staying with less possession and negative lists could be proportionally exemplified evacuators .
Hypothesis will be measured based on survey results.

・They are all minimalists
Based on the results of them, minimalists seem better evacuators than non minimalists.

Focus Group of Answering No – almost 50% for all questions
Less Possession 83.3% Summary
Certain characters will make people dangerous during natural hazards
They all rationally behave during natural hazards.
Summary
Research on evacuation behavior has found that there are physical and socioeconomic environment to decisionmaking strategies which enhance the quality of evacuation behavior.

In investigating the correlation between "minimalism" and "evacuation behavior", it is possible to improve the reliability of the results by clarifying the causal relationship between these two factors as a premise.

Conclusion Summary
Summary I could measure which minimalism works better on accurate evacuation behavior during natural hazards.

Negative Lists
Minimalists have a character of individualism, which excludes negative environmental factors during natural hazards.
Minimalists should act regardless situational factors which sometime work for evacuees into irrational behavior.
I think that this research has shown the possibility that minimalism is effective in the event of a disaster, but there are challenges.
According to the comments received from the members of the fire brigade, minimalism can be expected to contribute to the realization of the important element in safety, which is to simplify the options at the time of evacuation. It may be possible to improve the survival rate by having a dialogue.
