This study aimed to reveal the differences between children's hazard perception and those of adults, using the photo projective method (PPM) developed by Noda (1988). PPM is a new technique based on a projective method that captures subjects' perceived environments through photographs. Thus, this method helps us understand an individual's internal mental world. To evaluate the patterns of children's hazard perception and safety awareness, we first asked 23 children (4th graders) and 19 mothers to take photographs of hazard points or areas that caused anxiety in the children during their commute to school. The results show that children perceived traffic hazards as being less hazardous than adults did. Second, to assess the development of children's safety awareness, we asked 139 children (1st trough 6th graders) and 106 adults, the children's parents, to take photographs of hazard points or areas that caused anxiety in the children during their commute to school. The results revealed certain patterns of the children's developmental process relative to hazard perception and safety awareness. The differences in the photographs reflect the development of hazard perception ability in the children. It was observed that children above the ages of 9 and 10 have perception patterns similar to those of adults.

<p>Exploring a suspected sexual abuse case of a junior high school girl, this study examines the approach to a child for family reunification after intervention by a child guidance center. The safety planning approach from the Partnering for Safety (PFS), which integrates various theories including the Solution-Focused Approach (SFA), the Signs of Safety Approach (SoSA) and others, was applied for the case by a child psychologist at the temporary shelter of a child guidance center. ln order to involve the child in the family reunification process, the tools of PFS such as 'The Future House', 'The Family Safety Circles' and 'The Safety House' were applied. Although the child was defensive and her parents continued to deny the sexual abuse change, the tools of PFS focusing on the child's hope and safety acted as a catalyst to build constructive relationship among the child, her parents and the workers of a child guidance center. Eventually, family reunification was achieved as her opinion was reflected in the safety planning. This study shows that supports for children and their parents can be developed interactively by using the tools of PFS, and that it is important for the worker to have an ecological perspective on the person-environment fit.</p>
