GIS Mapping Analysis of Damages and Countermeasures Against the Nankai Trough Earthquake among Primary Care Facilities in Miyazaki

Abstract

Introduction: To visualize the damage to primary care facilities in Miyazaki prefecture caused by the Nankai Trough earthquake by collating GIS data and to propose feasible countermeasures based on the estimated damage. Methods: The merged data of the estimated tsunami damage downloaded from the service for numerical information on national land use created by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism were combined with the data of medical institutions collected from the regional medical information system of the Japan Medical Association. Results: Of the 721 clinics and 140 hospitals, 139 clinics and 31 hospitals were affected, with 521 and 4,713 beds, respectively. By medical area, regions in which more than 50% of the clinics and hospitals were affected included the northern region of Nobeoka Nishi-usuki (clinics, 58.7%; hospitals, 60.0%) and Hyuga Irigo (clinics, 84.2%; hospitals, 61.5%), revealing a disproportionate estimate of damage. Conclusion: To deal with long-term damage, joint operation among regional facilities in neighboring prefectures is essential for a community continuity plan. Care facilities can take initiatives for cooperative disaster risk reduction planning with residents. 1)宮崎大学医学部看護学科統合臨床看護科学講座精神看護領域 2)宮崎大学医学部臨床神経科学講座精神医学分野 3)気仙沼市立本吉病院 4)筑波大学医学医療系地域総合診療医学 5)みちのく総合診療医学センター 著者連絡先:原田奈穂子 宮崎大学医学部看護学科統合臨床看護科学講座精神看護領域[〒889-1692宮崎県宮崎市清武町木原 5200] email: nahoko-harada@umin.ac.jp (受付日:2020年 5月 12日,採用日:2020年 10月 21日) C2021日本プライマリ・ケア連合学会
