Abstract
Scientific and practical education method for sediment]related disaster prevention
was presented for schoolchildren. This method was based on the combination of
seminar in debris flow prone torrents and teaching hydraulic apparatus use in
a classroom. We conducted three]hours classes in May and June,2005, based on the
above]mentioned method for each three elementary schools in the Appetsu River
watersheds ,Hokkaido ,where was damaged by the 2003 typhoon No.10. We taught the
schoolchildren conception of watershed, occurrence of sediment]related disaster
due to slope failure and debris flow in watershed, role and its criteria of Sabo
facilities, critical rainfall amount for debris flow generation, importance of
early evacuation. Changes in the schoolchildren understanding of the contents
of the class were investigated through three times questionnaire.
Key words:education method, sediment]related disaster prevention, schoolchildren,
