[P-21] Research on the education for disaster reduction: Effects of “Starter Guide” shelter management game (HUG).
Keywords:education for disaster reduction, the shelter management game (HUG)
In recent years, natural disasters are increasing in Japan. Therefore, attention is paid to the education for disaster reduction. Then, the state, local governments, educational institutions, etc. educate on disaster reduction. Experience-based education for disaster reduction like the shelter management game (HUG) is effective for a wide range of ages. However, the rules of HUG are complex. Although HUG has the effect of deepening participants' discussions and deepening their understanding, it is difficult for those who have not educated on disaster reduction. Therefore, we created a “Starter Guide” HUG game with the purpose of understanding the importance of disaster reduction and consideration for others. This study measures its educational effects. Natural disasters can equally occur to anyone regardless of age. Therefore, it is essential to understand the considerations needed at shelters where various people, from the elderly to the children, gather.
Therefore, in order to measure the effects of the simplified version HUG, this study created two groups, one group that provided information on shelters (possible problems) and the other group that provided information on shelters, and the group that implemented HUG. After a while, we conducted a descriptive questionnaire survey on the points to be considered in the shelters, and verified whether there was a difference in awareness about the shelters in both groups. As a result, the group that conducted the “Starter Guide” HUG had more descriptions for consideration to others than the group that provided information on shelters. The effect of the “Starter Guide” HUG could be measured.
