Abstract
Mini-München is a children’s city planning game originating in Germany. Over the past few years,
several researchers have studied Mini-München; however, no study has analyzed the image map.
This study verifies the possibility of consumer education through “Japanese Mini-München” using
the image map. We conducted a questionnaire survey on participants given to 41 children's executive committee members and 20 adult staff.
The results obtained are as follows:
(1) “Japanese Mini-München” has many situations to achieve the goal of the image map and is
effective as consumer education.
(2) We expect the results of this study to provide learning opportunities in the fields of “Construction
of Consumer Citizen Society”.
(3) There was a divergence in opinion among the children’s executive committee members and adult
staff members.
