The rapid transportation of injured people to the closest hospital is important for decreasing the number of fatalities, and the road networks used by emergency transportation vehicles during disasters are key to disaster mitigation. This study proposed a simple framework to be used in discussions of the performance of emergency transportation routes in small townships in developing countries. The framework comprises an estimation method for road damages and connectivity of the road network to hospitals. Although the details of this damage estimation method were not fully examined, a feasibility study of the proposed framework was conducted on small townships in Mandalay, Myanmar. The results found that the proposed framework is simple, but effective for predicting future aspects of disaster mitigation, particularly in developing countries where precise data are not available or not reliable.}, pages = {43--54}, title = {A simple framework for planning emergency routes in small townships in response to earthquake disasters}, volume = {8}, year = {2018} }
