After 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the central government released a series of tsunami estimation reappraisals of Nankai Trough Earthquake and Tsunami, which caused 3 negative attitudes toward the future disaster management among residents. These attitudes can be summarized as, 1) too pessimistic (e.g. to give up doing tsunami reduction), 2) too optimistic (e.g. careless about tsunami estimation), 3) fully dependent (e.g. to rely on disaster experts and government). To deal with these problems, this study suggested an approach of tsunami evacuation called single-person drill. By doing single-person drill, evacuees could realize the supporters for and the meaning of their tsunami evacuation. Also, as the single-person drill was implemented by various participants, such as elementary school students and local residents, it had 2 important elements which were the formation and transformation of "communities of practice" and "identity". All the results of the single-person drill were edited into a multi-screen movie, in which the balances between experts and residents as well as human science and natural science can be achieved.
