Outline of Final Research Achievements

A major earthquake is expected in the near future in the Muroto UNESCO Global Geopark. There, disaster education for elementary to high school students is being prepared, including confirmation of the expected disaster area and visits to tsunami towers and shelters. The Unzen Volcanic Area UNESCO Global Geopark is conducting high-quality activities based on the experience of the 1991 disaster of Unzen Volcano. In the Tokachidake Geopark (designated in 2022), visitors can observe the topography and geology of an active volcano and the remains of the 1926 eruption. Visitors can learn how a society should be with an active volcano. A geopark is a field museum that deals with any aspects from the origins of the land to the formation of local culture, and can provide ideal materials for disaster education.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自然災害は、従来の地震、津波、火山噴火に加えて、地球規模の気候変動に伴う豪雨災害や土砂災害の増加が予測されている。日本はプレート境界に位置する島国であり、様々な災害に悩まされてきた。それら災害に対して、地域ごとに特色のある防災教育が各地のジオパークで行われている。本研究の目的は、ジオパーク(ネットワーク)をツールとして活用することで、防災科学研究に取り組むとともに、防災科学リテラシーの向上を図ることである。
