概要

Insufficient on-site data challenges in disaster response and recovery, which rely on high-quality and extensive data for accurate decisions. First-hand information provided by the public holds significant value and immediacy to overcome such a challenge, particularly in remote areas or situations with fewer resources for inspections or rescues. Such contributions of volunteer geographic information compensate for the lack of timeliness in the government’s understanding of realities due to limited data from professional institutions.

This study develops a disaster image collection application powered by a simple and intuitive user interface atop smart devices. Smart devices can collect not only images but also spatial and temporal data, offering the potential for cost-effective image collection without additional user training. This study expands on this potential by exploring design elements through research, questionnaires, and interviews. Systematic user testing is conducted to evaluate the usability of the interface and assess how the design impacts the efficiency and participation in image collection.

The study aims to promote and deepen disaster awareness among the public. Through collaboration between the public and the government, it seeks to enhance overall disaster response capabilities, mitigate the risk of disasters, and establish an efficient and comprehensive governance in disaster management.
