THE IMPACT OF EARTHQUAKES ON PEOPLE

Tokyo is an international metropolis that functions as the capital of Japan. It has the largest population of any Prefecture in Japan and the highest population density in Japan.

EXISTING PROBLEMS Not knowing where the road would break, where would it be safe for me to stand.

The road fracture direction is different, I’m fear of an aftershock will shake the road under my feet.

SITE:Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

1.The road is severely damaged and irregular

Shockproof green space are overcrowded, can other parks also have shelter function ?

There are not enough green Spaces in the city for earthquake protection. Where should we go ?

2.Lack of refuge facilities

My phone has no signal .How can I get information of a shelter? There is no indication system for emergency shelters. I'm a tourist. What should I do if I don't have shock absorber experience.

3.The road lacks an emergency indicator system
