“…By doing practical disaster mitigation students will work according to the steps contained in practical instructions that had been developed at the previous meeting. Observation, discussion, and then present the results in front of the class after the students report the results of observation are aspects of disaster mitigation skills aspect which executed entirely by students with both then after learning of students will have the skills of disaster mitigation is better than before (Imamura et al, 2012;Yamazaki et al, 2010).…”

“…In learning to use a learning tool in disaster mitigation students actively involved in learning and so has a better understanding for students than who studied conventionally. Students who are active in the learning activities will have better understanding and learning outcomes than students who only listen to the teacher's explanation and passive during learning activities (Yamazaki & Zavala, 2013;Galindo & Batta, 2013).…”

This research aims to develop a learning model in disaster volcanic eruptions, floods and earthquakes integrated in social science subjects and in elementary school level. This learning model includes five features, namely: (1) the model syllabus and lesson plans, (2) the theme and subthemes, (3) teaching methods, (4) materials / textbooks and CDs about the disaster of nature, and (5) techniques and types assessment of student learning outcomes. Improving the knowledge and skills of teachers and students about the concepts, principles and practice self-rescue if the occurrence of natural disasters. This study is a research and development (R & D) in elementary school. This type of data consists of qualitative and quantitative data. Exploratory data analysis results based disaster mitigation model of learning is conducted qualitatively by descriptive percentage. Analysis of empirical test data using descriptive statistics percentages. Data were analyzed with the results of the implementation of parametric statistical tests, descriptive of the samples using a t-test. Research shows that learning device development results declared effective because it proved able to increase disaster mitigation skills of students, student learning, and the comfortable to be applied at primary school level.

Building data, such as footprint and height, are important information for pre- and post-event damage assessments when natural disasters occur. However, these data are not easily available in many countries. Because of the remarkable improvements in radar sensors, high-resolution (HR) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images can provide detailed ground surface information. Thus, it is possible to observe a single building using HR SAR images. In this study, a new method is developed to detect building heights automatically from two-dimensional (2D) geographic information system (GIS) data and a single HR TerraSAR-X (TSX) intensity image. A building in a TSX image displays a layover from the actual position to the direction of the sensor, because of the side-looking nature of the SAR. Since the length of the layover on a ground-range SAR image is proportional to the building height, it can be used to estimate this height. We shift the building footprint obtained from 2D GIS data toward the sensor direction. The proposed method was applied to a TSX image of Lima, Peru in the HighSpot mode with a resolution of about 1 m. The results were compared with field survey photos and an optical satellite image, and a reasonable level of accuracy was achieved.

One of the SATREPS projects on earthquake and tsunami disaster mitigation technology in Peru has been promoted since March 2010 for a five-year period. The project focuses on five research fields, i.e., seismic motion and geotechnical, tsunamis, buildings, damage assessment, and disaster mitigation planning. Collaborative research has been carried out through joint experiments, observations, field surveys, computer simulations, seminars and workshops. With the Lima metropolitan area and the city of Tacna set as case study sites, two mega-thrust earthquakes have been simulated and their effects and countermeasures investigated. The simulation results have been validated by observation data and have been implemented in government policy. Young Peruvian engineers and scientists have also received training and education. This paper summarizes the progress and outcomes of the SATREPS project for earthquake and tsunami disaster mitigation in Peru.
