A STUDY ON THE ACTUAL CONDITION AND THE EFFECTS OF DISASTER ORAL TRADITION IN THE COASTAL REGIONS

Abstract

This study showed the actual condition of disaster oral tradition that has been taken over in the com-munity, and the effects of handing down the lesson and experience of the past disaster. Therefore, we considered the significances of disaster oral tradition in the community from above this results. As a result, we found the possibility of being interrupted the disaster oral tradition that had been taken over in the community after this because the older people and the people who had been suffered from the past disaster tend to hand down the lesson and experience of the past disaster. Also, we found that trying to the consciousness of the disaster in harmony with our daily life in the community works related to not only the consciousness of the prevention of disaster, disaster prevention measure, and evacuation behavior, but also the attitude to the local area.
