Abstract In this article we discuss the practical significance of sociology for Crossroad as the disaster prevention tool and the academic significance of Crossroad in sociology, from three perspectives. The f...irst one is comparative analysis of Crossroad questions. We introduce five classification axes, and discuss the importance of especially two axes, dilemma type and theoretical framework, to extract sociological meaning from Crossroad questions as the disaster case data. The second one is comparative analysis by setting theoretical reference point questions. In this case we introduce two reference point questions: one is based on N person prisoner’s dilemma, and the other is based on social capital theory in regard with solving dilemmas. We illustrate comparative analysis of two questions of Crossroad Kumamoto with these reference point questions and show how to extract sociological implications from them. The third one is comparative analysis of reactions of Crossroad players. By taking a question on distribution of insufficient supplies in a shelter, we consider theoretical meaning of the response difference when an additional condition of counting the number of evacuees in advance is introduced.show more
