Development, Implementation and Evaluation of  Food Menu with the Theme of Hamaguchi Goryo

Abstract

We collected efforts of disaster prevention awareness relating to foods which have been implemented all around the country. And we focused on Hamaguchi Goryo, the main character of “Inamura-no-hi ” as an effort to cultivate public awareness about disaster prevention among youths and women, developed dishes featuring Hamaguchi Goryo. Then, we offered those dishes at a hotel in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, and analyzed those effects and issues from impressions of participants of the program. As a result, we were able to confirm the effects relating to cultivation and heightening of consciousness about disaster prevention from “foods” which are familiar to them. Therefore, we have concluded it is available to use disaster prevention awareness dishes as an effort of those activities.
