Keywords:Geopark, Disaster Mitigation Education

Izu Peninsula was once a submarine volcano situated in the south sea. This area collided with Honshu with the Northward movement of the Philippine sea plate and formed a peninsula from about 10 Million years back. After this land volcanism took place that formed multiple large volcanoes. In this geopark we made attempts to popularize earth science and disaster management by conquicting questionnaires with local schools. As a result we understood the efficacy of natural hazards education by using familiar examples. From the participants there were even demands for more information and more comprehensive training programs.
