Abstract
Foreign tourists would need support in a time of disaster due to a lack of the knowledge for disaster risks and communication skill in Japanese. This study aims to clarify differences between the spatial structure of regional disaster prevention and tourists' activity areas and to find effective way to guide their evacuation. Target area is central area of Tokyo and the activity areas were extracted based on the tourist guidebooks and tourists' activity logs captured by GPS device. When the activity area extends across wards or doesn't contain evacuation site, it would be difficult for tourists to know more accessible evacuation site. Meanwhile, since many of evacuation sites are sightseeing spot itself, it would be landmark to guide even when it is not designated site for the location. Local government and communities should know these differences, and offer proper information to tourists.
