Abstract(in English) Japan is a disaster-prone country, and tremendous damage occurs every year. Due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 in 2020, evacuation shelters have been forced to reduce the number of residents, in order to reduce the risk of infection. Some evacuation shelters have been unable to accommodate evacuators due to full capacity. In this study, we propose a novel application, Shelter Navi. It aims to avoid the formation of dense crowd in evacuation shelters by self-efforts of citizens themselves. Shelter Navi manages the location and the congestion status of every shelter within a local government, and visualizes the information on a map. When a disaster occurs, citizens check the information with mobile phones, and evacuate to vacant shelters. As a citizen “checks in” to a shelter, Shelter Navi updates the status at real time. Thus, the app allows crowd-aware evacuation without any special equipment in the shelter. In this paper, we first define use cases of Shelter Navi, and then conduct domain modeling and service API design. Finally, we implement a prototype of Shelter Navi as a Web application, using latest application frameworks Spring Boot and Bootstrap.
