If the large-scale disaster occurs, an unspecified number of people to stay in the outdoor
space of the city, by falling into information refugees, are assumed to place in further
difficult situation. During disaster occurring, it could obtain wide-area information, theinformation supplied by large media partly, but it is difficult for people to stay in the urban
outdoor space to obtain information of surrounding or district scale, information on theevacuation facilities or a temporary refuge at the time of an disaster. Especially it is difficult
situation for people who are unable to return home, visitors from foreign countries, children

information in the confusion situation at the time of disaster mechanisms are needed.
It is expected that information system which functions at normal condition and disastersituation. If the system would only be used disaster situation, it could not function
appropriately, for users are not familiar with the system. The system has advantages if itwould be used at normal situation for daily usages, it would function at emergency situation.
