We consider the park use the conditions and problem in the local city at the earthquake by this study. We investigate the actual condition in Nagaoka City after the Chuuetsu Great Earthquake that occurred on October 23, 2004, and show the problems. As a result, this study aims to show the ideal way of the park with considering the disaster prevention in urbanized area.
The examination methods are the whole research of east part of Nagaoka City, the questionnaire survey at west region and the hearing investigation around targeted park to which it went 30 or more for each park. As a result, we find that people living within one district around the park evacuate to the park and the evacuation action was settled in the active community. To activate the community, we think that for the park where disaster prevention is considered it is important that the park should be considered as the garden of the town and should be improved by the community participation.
