Abstract
In response to the recent need for disaster prevention and recovery efforts from women's viewpoints, this study developed educational materials that enable female university students to recognize issues at evacuation shelters, etc., and to think about how evacuation shelters should be from women's viewpoints and from the viewpoints of various genders and standpoints. The educational effects of these materials were examined. Specifically, two activities were conducted using the teaching materials after reviewing basic knowledge about evacuation centers. The first activity was to think about the layout of an evacuation shelter before a disaster (normal times) by considering women's viewpoints and the viewpoints of various genders and positions. The second activity is to accept the evacuees listed on the card at the shelter and partition the shelter in anticipation of a post-disaster (emergency) situation. These activities were practiced with female university students in Kyoto City, and their educational effects were examined. The results showed that the participants were able to consider the nature of shelters not only from a female perspective, but also by utilizing existing knowledge and considering people in various situations, such as those with disabilities, the elderly, and children. It was also understood that the Sphere Criteria would be one of the bases for making decisions, etc.
