PRACTICAL STUDY OF EXTENSION OF THE DISASTER PREVENTION EDUCATION EFFECT FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE HILLY RURAL AREA TO THE REGIONAL COMMUNITY - CASE STUDY AT TOKIWA-HIGASHI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, OKAZAKI, JAPAN -

Abstract

 The disaster prevention education in an elementary school has carried out after the Great East Japan earthquake. Because each school area has character of their own, it needs to accumulate the experience for making education plan. Through a participation observation and a questioner survey at an elementary school in the hilly rural area, we discuss how to extend the effect of the disaster prevention education to the regional community. As the result, the key residents who consider the children's opinion, the school acceptance of the regional activity, and the facilitation by the NPO and the research institute are important factors.
