Development and Evaluation of Disaster Prevention Education Programs that Consider the Characteristics of Hazard Maps

Abstract

To develop effective disaster prevention education using hazard maps, we conducted a cognitive survey of learners and a trial lesson. In the hazard map recognition survey, although the recognition of information such as “knowing the degree of danger” and “knowing the evacuation site” was high, no relationship was confirmed with the reading of the assumption. However, although the percentage of people who had disaster prevention awareness such as “preparation” and “consideration for information vulnerable people” was low, a relationship was confirmed with the reading of the assumptions. In addition, the results suggested that learning to compare hazard maps before and after they are revised to understand the limits indicated by hazard maps is effective in improving hazard map literacy and disaster prevention awareness.
