○Location and Number of Prout Village Constructions [1]

     Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, and there's also a risk of tsunamis. Looking back at the history of tsunamis in Japan within a time frame of 200 years, some region has been hit by a large tsunami, causing fatalities. This means that if Prout Villages are built along the coast, some of them will be swallowed by a tsunami within 200 years. In the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the tsunami pushed up to 10 km inland. In Japan, when you go 10 km inland from the coast, you usually see mountains. Therefore, Japan should be a country that should create residential areas in mountainous regions. Moreover, from past data, it is evident that large earthquakes are likely to occur at the boundaries of continental plates, but it is still difficult to predict where they will occur.

    This map is color-coded as follows:

・Green lines: Continental plates
・Blue circles: The range within 50 km from the nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture
・Red: A guideline for possible locations for Prout Village construction. One red circle has a diameter of 4 km.
(We are avoiding 10 km inland from the coast and 4 km around the plate)
