“…Bai, Lili and Chen, Baoguo (2011) used a word category judgment task to examine the effect of age of acquisition on word category information processing [30]. Although there are many related studies, such as an experimental study of foreign students' recognition of morphemic characters (Chen Hui and Wang Kuijing 2001) [31], an experimental study of foreign students' awareness of morphemic phonological cues (Jiang Xin 2001) [32], and the role of phonological information next to sounds in international students' Chinese character learning (Hao Meiling and Shu Hua 2005) [33], there is still little progress. These studies provide a paradigm for empirical research on the cognition of Chinese character acquisition, which is of great significance as a good foundation for future research on Chinese character acquisition in the field of psychology.…”

At this stage, the study of Chinese characters is undergoing a transformation of modern applications and technology, and research in this field is both deeply rooted in the traditional Chinese study of script and flourishing with new vitality. This paper analyses the five major components of Chinese character research, namely, the study of archaic characters, the study of the phonology, morphology and meaning of Chinese characters, the study of the application of Chinese characters in the computer field, the study of the cognitive processing of Chinese characters, and the study of Chinese character teaching, and the three methods of Chinese character research, namely, exegetical examination, corpus database and empirical research methods. This paper summarizes the literature on Chinese character research, analyses the trends in Chinese character research, and summarizes the review and outlook of Chinese character research in the past thirty years.

“…Increasing earthquake awareness promotes better learning engagement, and earthquake expectations and preparedness could be predicted by earthquake awareness. Awareness and perception of risk are among the most crucial steps in the process of taking precautions at an individual level for various hazards [18] [19]. For foreigners intending to visit Japan, it is an important prerequisite for improving the earthquake education situation to build earthquake awareness, which imposes a long-term impact on stimulating participation in earthquake education.…”

Japan is in the Pacific Rim Seismic Belt, and earthquakes happen frequently. Foreigners who lack the necessary earthquake knowledge and escape skills may not survive strong earthquakes in Japan. Therefore, it is essential to provide earthquake education to these foreigners. Since rich-formed earthquake education has been available for foreigners living in Japan, this research works to improve the earthquake education situation for foreigners who intend to visit Japan. Receiving earthquake education in advance helps enhance foreigners’ earthquake risk awareness, gain more opportunities to master earthquake survival knowledge, and build earthquake survival confidence. This paper proposed a learning model called ‘FOE+G’ to achieve this research goal. ‘FOE’ means the frequency of occurrence of earthquakes in Japan, and ‘G’ means gamification. A prototype system in the form of a cross-platform application has been developed to confirm that the learning model improves earthquake education for the target audience. The application delivers an earthquake notification to target objects each time an eligible earthquake occurs in Japan. The High-frequency earthquakes in Japan lead to relatively frequent updates, which enable users to build earthquake awareness, realise the importance of earthquake education, and participate more actively in it. Furthermore, gamification is employed in the application to prompt participation in earthquake education.

“…Japan is predicted to be at great risk for a catastrophic disaster within the next 30 years. For many years, the "Nankai Trough Disastrous Earthquake" has been predicted to hit the country, which is expected to cause significant damage to infrastructure and potential loss of life (Xin et al, 2017). Due to this persistent disaster threat facing the country, Japanese citizens are reported to have considerable awareness of disaster risk and knowledge regarding how to prepare for commonly occurring disasters in their region (Kitagawa, 2015).…”

“…Knowledge regarding readiness for disasters among foreign residents living in Japan is limited. Disaster risk awareness among foreign students attending a Japanese university was examined by Xin et al (2017). Ranking highest among foreign students' concerns were worries about losing power or water, difficulties in going home or back to where they lived, and difficulties communicating with people in their home country.…”

Aim: Japan is a particularly disaster-prone country, with natural disasters posing a constant threat to the health and safety of the country's residents. Foreign residents in Japan have been identified as a group considered more vulnerable to disasters occurring in the country. The purpose of this paper is to describe findings from a pilot study exploring knowledge and perspectives related to disaster preparedness among foreign residents in Japan. It also highlights ways that public health nurses can contribute to enhanced disaster preparedness among members of this group. Methods: A qualitative pilot study using key informant interviews and small group discussions was conducted. Participants were foreign residents living in two small cities in central Japan. A semi-structured interview guide was used, which focused discussion on knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to participants' household disaster preparedness. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Fifteen participants (N=15) were interviewed. Four major themes emerged: attitudes regarding disaster preparedness and risk; sense of community; perceived ability to prepare for disasters; and disaster preparedness behaviors. Participants provided suggestions on how to engage with foreign residents living in Japan regarding improving disaster preparedness among this population. Conclusions: Findings suggest that communal linkages and language barriers were important factors influencing disaster preparedness among foreign residents in Japan. Information gained from this pilot study can serve as a basis for larger follow-up research studies, as well as provide insight on how to adapt community resources and services to better address the disaster preparedness needs of Japan's foreign residents.
