7 2. Defining Terms Title Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors in Japan: Useful or Useless?

8 2. Defining Terms Title Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors in Japan: Useful or Useless? Disaster prevention (災害対策基本法 第一章 第二条 二) “災害を未然に防止し、災害が発生した場合における被害の 拡大を防ぎ、及び災害の復旧を図ることをいう。” (the Japanese Government 2016)

9 2. Defining Terms Disaster prevention Prevent disasters
Figure1 Prevent disasters Minimize the damage Promote restoration Disaster prevention

10 2. Defining Terms Title Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors in Japan: Useful or Useless? Measure “A plan or course of action taken to achieve a particular purpose” (Oxford Dictionary of English 2016)

11 2. Defining Terms Title Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors in Japan: Useful or Useless? Foreign visitor “訪日外国人旅行者とは、国籍に基づく法務省集計による外国人正規入 国者数から日本に居住する外国人を除き、これに外国人一時上陸客等 を加えた入国外国人旅行者のことである” (MLIT 2015) =people staying as tourists (students) or on business trip for less than three months

12 2. Defining Terms Title Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors in Japan: Useful or Useless? = Plans to promote foreign visitors to have knowledge about earthquake disasters in Japan and support them when they happen and after that.

13 2. Defining Terms Title Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors in Japan: Useful or Useless? Useful “able to be used for a practical purpose or in several ways” (Oxford Dictionary of English 2016) Useless “not fulfilling or not expected to achieve the intended purpose or desired outcome” (Oxford Dictionary of English 2016)

14 2. Defining Terms The question is… OR
Previous Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors Effectively Work for People Having Various Languages/Cultures and Less Knowledge about Earthquakes OR Previous Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures for Foreign Visitors Do Not Widely Notify the Dangers of Earthquake for Foreign Visitors and Support them

38 4. Evidence for Useless 4.1 Lack of Multilingual Support for Travelers 4.2 Insufficient Guideline for Tourism Facilities

39 4.1 Lack of Multilingual Support for Travelers
For Foreign Residents (e.g Kanagawa) (KANA commu 2016)

40 4.1 Lack of Multilingual Support for Travelers

51 5. Analysis 3.1 Safety tips for Foreign Travelers 3.2 Disaster Drills
3.3 Pictograms 4.1 Lack of Multilingual Support for Travelers 4.2 Insufficient Guideline for Tourism Facilities

52 5. Analysis for 3.1

53 5. Analysis for 3.1 No data from JTA
30～40% of the foreign travelers to Japan downloaded…? (Travel Voice 2015)

54 Lack of Wi-Fi connections
5. Analysis for 3.1 Figure7 Lack of Wi-Fi connections (JTA 2012:3)

55 5. Analysis for 3.1 (SRC 2016:2)

56 5. Analysis for 3.2 = not real foreign travelers

57 5. Analysis for 3.2 Short period of stay = 6～7 days (average)
Spoil their travel plan Unrealistic to hold disaster drills for all travelers (JTA : Sayre & Sugihara 2011:18)

58 5. Analysis for 3.3 Figure3 Cabinet Office (2016: 2-3)

64 5. Analysis for 4.2

65 5. Analysis for 4.2 “災害の可能性にあまり注意を向けると風評被害がでる恐れ のある箱根において、それが言えると思います。これに関連 して、ここで「防災と言わない防災」という考え方を紹介した いと思います。災害に備える上でのこのアプローチは、病院、 井戸、スーパーマーケット、細い小路、その他、地域における 防災資源や、あるいは危険性を確認しながら、子供たちと一 緒に行う「街歩き」が、それを典型的に説明します。「防災と 言わない防災」の背後にある考え方は、“ 防災” という言葉 自体はまったく使わないで、災害が発生した時に、子ども達 を助けるだろうコミュニティーのあらゆることをシンプルに子 ども達に教えることです。”(Sayre & Sugihara 2011: 24)

66 5. Analysis for 4.2 Too much information about the possibility of earthquake disasters →damage for tourism ‘disaster prevention without saying disaster prevention’ (Sayre & Sugihara 2011:18)
