Keywords:Disaster prevention education, evacuate at home, workshop, brainstorming, diversity and inclusion
Before COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Muslim long-term residents in Japan was increasing year after year. the number of international students in Japan has reached 298,900 as at May 1, 2018(Japan Student Services Organization, 2019), it’s assumed that there were more than 10,000 Muslim students living in Japan. In modern Japanese society, it is necessary to understand each other's position as a religious minority and create an environment that can respect cultural and religious diversity. However, there is no detailed discussion on what preparations, actions and cautions Muslims should take during a disaster in disaster countermeasures of the Japanese government.
The important part about considering disaster action plan in small community such as Muslim is "cohesion." Further It is also important to promote “clarification and sharing of issues” in diverse values. In this study, we focused on "clarification and sharing of issues", and used Yonmenkaigi System Method (YSM), which proposed structuring the process of forming knowledge into action. This Yonmenkaigi System Method is applied in a workshop in which residents and disaster prevention experts cooperate as one of the support methods for action plan by residents. In this study, Muslims and Japanese collaborate using Yonmenkaigi System Method and apply it to the direction to solve the issues.
Yonmenkaigi System Method applied in this study considers the actions (actions and things) necessary for the issue and the actions (actions and things) to prepare, and we tried to apply these actions to four dimensions. The four dimensions are composed of “organization / money(management)”, “information”, “human resources (Soft Logistics)”, and “physical resources (Hard Logistics)”. Each group (Muslim and Japanese) were in charge of each side, writing ideas(actions) on sticky notes, and clarifying and sharing solutions for the theme issue.
Due to the current situation with COVID-19, the way that the shelter works in Japan is changing. To avoid crowded and confined spaces with poor airflow, the central government and most local governments recommend home evacuation rather the shelter. In the same way, the purpose of making Yonmenkaigi map is to specify the actions and things necessary for Muslims and set the theme "what are necessary actions for Muslims to evacuate at home?".
We carried out the workshop in 2019 (before COVID-19) as the same way. We compare result of Before COVID-19 and result of during COVID-19, we would like to find out issue and the direction of the solution for Muslim to evacuate at home. In order to adopt DX technology, we tried to utilize text mining method. We’ll organize and consider about keywords spoken by participants; we’d like to clarify the trends of speakers and the trends of changes in needs.
Muslim and Japanese collaborate towards same the issue, diversity of people could join. Because of this, the frame of action become to be fluid and spread, we could propose disaster reduction for modern diversity. To adopt disaster prevention and disaster risk reduction based on diversity and inclusion, YSM is useful method, we can propose action plan for disaster reduction according to modern society.
