A Proposal for Disaster Evacuation Manuals that Consider Spatial-Temporal Structure of Learner's Everyday Life

Current disaster evacuation manuals do not provide sufficient retrieval cues to recall appropriate rules when a disaster occurs. In order to resolve this, we propose a new manual with a spatial-temporal structure of the learner�fs everyday life based on the consideration that people recognize their own situations at all times and that the situation is embedded in a spatial-temporal structure. We expect that organizing knowledge by the spatial-temporal structure will enhance recallability of evacuation rules and help learners make appropriate survival decisions. This paper reports an implementation of a disaster evacuation manual for children that represents evacuation rules in the spatial-temporal structure of the learner�fs everyday life.
