Aged people are increasing rapidly in these years and the aging society will be a serious problem of Japan. Although various measures which are tender to the aged or disabled persons are adopted, there are still many barriers in our surroundings. It is necessary to develop a barrier-free society and to reduce the problems when the handicapped face a disaster. In this study, the authors investigated the problems which a handicapped person would meet in fire-extinguishing or refuge action in a fire. The experiments were conducted in the Fukuoka Disaster Prevention Center. To evaluate the difficulty in guiding the aged or disabled people, the barrier-free check was also carried out for public facilities in the Tenjin underground center, Fukuoka City. Simulated experience as an aged or disabled person provides us opportunity to notice that there remain lots of barriers in our surroundings.
