ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the factors associated with the district tsunami
victim rate in 2011 by age class/group in Ishinomaki city, Japan. Sea or river
visibility and evaluation potential from the temporary facilities to higher
hills are factors associated with victim rate in addition to tsunami depth. In
addition, victim rate, especially for elder people, is low in the districts that
have higher aging rate. The characteristics of these districts are: (1) many people are
engaged in fishery related jobs and know each other and (2) higher hills are behind the beach.
KEYWORDS
