ABSTRACT

In this study, we investigated sanatoriums, pensions, recreation forests, buddhist temples and others mainly located in forest in order to analyze the present conditions on forest fire suppression resources. By investigating 69 facilities in the study area, we found that a facility administrator and resident persons would need to be appointed as a fire administrator to effectively respond to forest fires. It is found that buddhist temples are located the most distant from a public office, with the average distance of approximately 10 km (the access time was 18.6 minutes), and thus should be provided with more access routes and spaces for more prompt responses to the forest fire risk. We also found that the forest fire safety education has been rarely conducted in pensions. This findings of this study recommend that an extinguishing system and equipment should be further expanded and the forest fire response manual should be provided in all facilities.
