DEVELOPMENT OF A JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ESD PROGRAM FOR RAIZING DISASTER PREVENTION AWARENESS AND EXPANSION TO SDGs FROM HEAVY RAIN DISASTERS IN LOWLAND AREAS

Abstract

 The balance between water use and disaster risk management is a global issue in sustainability of lowland areas.

 The aim of this research is to raise awareness of disaster prevention and raise awareness of SDGs Goal 11 from the disaster prevention aspect. Therefore, in this practice, we will develop an ESD program through exploratory learning that includes production and exchange activities based on the learning composition table that we developed, based on the experience of the heavy rain disaster in August 2019 by public junior high school students.

 The ESD program to be developed is an extension of the watershed learning that we have studied so far, in addition to fostering humanity, respecting relationships and connections, and introducing each perspective of ESD.

 From the questionnaire survey, the awareness of disaster prevention and the willingness to build a sustainable city from the viewpoint of disaster prevention were recognized.

 This study is an example of an ESD program based on an interdisciplinary and comprehensive learning composition table that introduces the concept of connecting a heavy rain disaster in a lowland to an educational site, with the aim of achieving 11 SDGs from the disaster prevention perspective.
