     Residents need to consider both evacuation behaviors and the appropriate evacuation route considering traffic jams during disasters for disaster mitigation. In this study, we develop a game application called “Disaster Prevention Sugoroku” that enables users to learn about traffic jams and evacuation routes during disasters. In this game, users can learn how to change the evacuation route and evacuation method due to heavy rain, fire spread, and traffic jam, while moving from a random starting point to an evacuation place. Furthermore, groups compete with other groups for points of the game, and quizzes related to disaster prevention are implemented to improve the playability of the game for increasing motivation of disaster prevention education learning. In addition, disaster VR content is used to simulate the experience of a disaster and to reduce the familiarity with games. We conduct disaster prevention education using the game to evaluate itself. The result shows the learning effect of disaster prevention education by the game and clarifies the issues of the game.

     It is believed that the competence, or technical capabilities, of civil engineers who supports the development and maintenance of social infrastructure can be improved not only through school education and training, but also through various experiences. However, so far, the relationship between the technical capabilities of civil engineers and “experience” has not been sufficiently examined. In order to realize the strategic human resource development of civil engineers, it is necessary to clarify the effect of various experiences on the improvement of technical capabilities and to establish a method to incorporate experiences into the human resource development system. As a first step, this study focuses on the work experience of officials of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s regional development bureaus at a research institute for the purpose of improving their technical capabilities for road structure maintenance, and organize the contents of learning through the experience and the effect of improving technical capabilities based on the analysis of the interview results. Based on these results, a methodology to incorporate the experience into the human resource development system is proposed.

     In order to achieve the productivity improvement that i-Construction aims for, open innovation efforts are regarded as important. This research aims to develop an educational program for the purpose of creating innovations for improving the productivity of construction sites. In this educational program, it is possible to have a simulated experience of construction planning and construction at a model site, and further, by setting necessary constraints, it encourages students to create innovative ideas. Also developing an automatic excavation excavator, and made it possible to study the range of automation in the construction plan and incorporate it into the construction. In addition, in order to confirm whether the developed educational program actually contributed to the creation of innovative ideas, practicing the educational program at the Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo, analyze the results, and confirm its effectiveness.

     In this paper, the current situation of the construction management was investigated through bird’s-eye of university and related organization in Japan and abroad by way of mainly syllabus forms for the purpose of ‘a human resource development cultivating contract management ability for “civil engineers” in Japanese construction companies who are working in Japan but will be working in foreign construction projects’. As a result, it was confirmed that there were few universities in Japan teach exhaustive construction education.

     Furthermore, a survey with respect to necessity and demand on OFF-JT EDUCATION PROGRAM in Japanese construction companies to improve contract management ability was conducted for practitioners. As a result, it was confirmed that necessity on exhaustive construction education was strongly recognized, but with respect to education hours, opinions were sharply divided.

     Based on above results, an OFF-JT EDUCATION TENTATIVE PROGRAM to cultivate contract management ability was proposed.

     Approximately 70% of bridges in Japan are located on municipal roads. Municipalities lack the technical skills of their staff and financial resources, and only 35% of the first round of inspection facilities have been repaired, with only 35% of measures completed. In this situation, municipal officials, as managers, are responsible for being involved in the entire bridge maintenance cycle (inspection-diagnosis-action-record), and therefore, there is an urgent need to improve their technical skills. In this paper, we describe the training of municipal employees to improve their technical skills through on-the-job training of outside workers, using Tamana City Hall as a case study of a local government that faces a shortage of technical skills among its employees. In addition, we show the on-the-job training for internal work that is practiced in the creation of the city’s own bridge summaries for the purpose of improving the level of record keeping. We show that on-the-job training contributes to the improvement of technical skills in the field and motivates city employees by visualizing cost reductions.

     In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been proposed for use in various engineering fields and are a great interest to technical high school students. However, according to Aviation Law, a flight permit from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) must be secured for all UAVs not less than 200 grams in weight, pilots with ten or more accumulated flight hours, and for all flights in Densely Inhabited District (DID). Furthermore, UAVs can be severely damaged in the event of a crash and are a great liability if collisions occur with people or objects. Consequently, it is difficult for students to easily fly UAVs. With the help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), I developed a learning method for civil engineering utilization of UAVs using so-called Toy Drones. These UAVs are lightweight, inexpensive, and are not regulated by Aviation Law. In this report, I elucidate practical examples of this method.
