This research clarifies the idea of the architectural planning of the first-aid medical stations, which is expected to be prepared as a preparation for the most recent earthquake in the metropolitan area. In this paper, we apply a simulation to reproduce the behavior of patients in a hospital outpatient to elementary school.1) Based on the number of assumed medical staff, how far can the first-aid medical station correspond to the number of victims?2) What is the area required for each function?3) Are there other issues to consider in the future?In this paper, we clarified these issues.
Based on a simulation of casualties potentially affected by a Northern Tokyo Bay earthquake, we examined the limits and possibilities of medical relief activities and building space at disaster base hospitals. Considering casualty numbers over time, we determined details about the overall space required to deal with affected patients based on degree of urgency and ascertained the needs of each area. We found that the yellow area (for high‐risk patients) was relatively large; however, it was also found that affected patients remained and continued to accumulate in the red (critical) area for some time after the disaster.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
