This analysis highlights GIS implementation for hazard visualization and risk management in schools, suggesting its role in Japan’s safety protocols.
This study investigates the integration of geographic information systems (GIS) into school disaster risk reduction (DRR) practices, with a specific focus on Taiwan’s School Safety GIS platform. Drawing comparisons with current practices in Japan, this paper highlights the central role of Web-GIS in visualizing hazard risks, enhancing school safety management, and promoting spatial thinking among educators. The case study of Taiwan demonstrates a centralized and systematically updated GIS platform that facilitates comprehensive risk assessments, real-time hazard alerts, and the integration of multi-source governmental data. These findings underscore the importance of geographic literacy, data integration, and inter-agency collaboration for effective DRR in schools. The implications for Japan point to the need for unified GIS adoption and expanded teacher training.
