Abstract

Education for disaster prevention that aim s at imparting disaster knowledge and fostering a “sense of ownership,” based on individuals’ awareness of the possibility of themselves becoming a victim of disaster , is becoming more and more important in preparing for natural disasters. It is necessary to foster an “attachment to place” that leads to a sense of community from the perspective of community disas ter management. This learning is necessary not only for the cooperation of local communities but also for the family when targeting elementary and junior high school students. In this paper, we describe the design of a learning activity using a smartphone that combines Town Walking and Mystery Solving for regional learning on the theme of disaster prevention for elementary and junior high school students . In addition to fostering attachment to place through this activity, we aim to impart disaster preventio n knowledge appropriate to the region and to foster risk perception, disaster awareness , and a sense of ownership .
