– Case of Practice in Nishikino Area, Kuroshio Town, Kochi Prefecture, Japan –

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the key factors that facilitate discussion of vehicle tsunami evacuation from the perspective of Learning Environment Design. In detail, a banner was created for a vehicle evacuation guidance in the Nishikino Area of Kuroshio Town, Kochi Prefecture. After the activity, there was progress in the discussion, such as the drill being conducted in the community. To identify these factors, surveys with participants were conducted. As a result, the impact of each element was identified following the 4 aspects of Learning Environment Design. In this practice particularly, it seems that the discussion has progressed because of the improved balance among each aspect in the learning environment.
