| Popis: | Japan is one of the disaster-prone countries. Then, various disaster education is conducted in schools and local communities for alleviating the damage caused by disasters. However, according to various surveys, disaster prevention awareness among young people is known to be lower than in other age groups in Japan. Therefore, we worked with Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on establishing an ICT-based program on disaster prevention and mitigation to raise awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation among young people. The program is based on the workshop consisting of town watching and group discussion using DITS/DIMS (disaster information tweeting and mapping system) proposed in the previous studies. In this paper, we introduce the contents of the established education program on disaster prevention and mitigation for the young generation. Moreover, we report on the results of the workshops for disaster prevention and mitigation using this program at several junior high and high schools in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The results of the post-questionnaire show that many participants had a positive impression on the developed disaster education program. |
