Community based workshop for disaster prevention has been held actively in recent Japan. However, there are not few uniformity workshops. We have applied a trial-and-error method about the workshop based on knowledge of natural disaster science. In this study, I would like to explain the method of workshop. First of all, a preliminary survey about primary cause of natural disaster is important. Various sources of disaster information are already released. For example, hazard map, landform classification map, estimation of damage, local plan for disaster prevention. A facilitator gives participant concrete explanation about the disaster of that area based on this preliminary survey. Next, participants read landform (altitude) of the area by detailed map. Moreover, participants discuss about problems of the area with engineer or public official. A result of discussion summarized in a problems list and a location map. There is an example to which residents started solution of the problems after a workshop. However, the effect of workshop has not been shown clearly yet. Effect verification of workshop is future subject.

This paper is intended as a fundamental study of disaster prevention education based on the actual education that is occurring in different regions. A survey was administered in 426 elementary schools, 198 junior high schools and 93 high schools in Iwate prefecture and 588 schools completed the questionnaire form. This study compared disaster education in inland areas to that in coastal areas. The results showed a clear difference between the disaster education programs in inland areas and those in coastal areas. Coastal area schools are aware of the risk and conduct more aggressive disaster prevention education than inland area schools. Furthermore, schools located nearer a coast line are active in providing disaster prevention education. Coastal areas are at risk for being hit by tsunamis. However, there is no difference in the risks from other hazards, such as earthquakes, flood and sediment disasters, between inland and coastal areas. Unreasonable risk perception and regional differences in providing disaster education are undesirable from the standpoint of disaster prevention. The perception of risk by schools needs to be assessed, to see if their perceptions match the actual risks faced.
