The purpose of this study is to propose the characteristics of environmental education in national parks in East Asia by clarifying commonalities and differences in environmental education in the national parks of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We compared these characteristics from the perspective of nature administration within the national parks and collaborative management with residents, which is a requirement of the parks in East Asia. First, we confirmed that national park administrations in the three countries are engaged in activities geared toward collaborative management that harmonizes environmental conservation and the local economies. Second, we examined the promotion of environmental education and confirmed that the roles of the national park administrations in the three countries differ in matters concerning environmental education. Third, we examined the structure of environmental education and confirmed that in all three countries, the residents of the national parks are essential stakeholders in the management of park areas for which environmental education had been developed. In summary, we found that although the roles of the national park administrations differ in the three countries, they share the common goal of promoting collaborative national park management and are developing a collaborative environmental education approach.

all be taken of all the of the of Abstract Visuals are deployed in textbooks, including in those used for Environmental Education (EE) instruction in India, Japan, and Mexico, to perform various pedagogical functions that are not evident at first glance. Formal EE today engages with students in developing necessary skills, favourable attitudes, and capacities for participation, which are essential for Sustainable Development. The main question for this inquiry was, “What role do visuals play in achieving the objectives of EE?” We analysed Grade VI Science textbooks which revealed that all the five objectives of EE— 1. Awareness 2. Knowledge 3. Attitude 4. Skills and 5. Participation — were fulfilled by text-visual segments, variously in the three textbooks, with visuals serving one or more of the following functions, if not all— Evocation, Definition, Application, Description, and Interpretation . However, a more in-depth research and discussion are required to generate EE-specific functionalities. As environmental challenges range from local to global with a universal context, visuals in EE textbooks can serve as an efficient medium to add depth, complexity, and abstraction (of various environmental challenges) as well as support image-mediated learning processes in school educational contexts.

Developing and establishing learning among community members can be identified as PlaceBased Education (PBE), a pro-sustainable educational approach defined as the process of using the local community and environment as the pedagogy for developing commitment to local places and local stakeholders (Sobel, 2004). This study focuses on efforts by residents to promote Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) as a case study and it contributes to the discussion on the role of PBE in strengthening community resilience. The case study site, Neshinden District in Nakazuma-cho, Joso City, is a low-lying area that stretches along the left bank of the Kinugawa River that is the site of many houses flooded above floor level during a 2015 flood. In April 2018, the Neshinden neighborhood association formed a voluntary disaster-prevention organization to foster a more disaster-resilient town. Although we found a need for further activities, such as passing on the memories of disasters and making residents more aware of the vulnerability of the residential areas, this relatively new neighborhood successfully nurtured spontaneous risk communication and learning activities. The experience suggested that the role of resilience education, a type of PBE, is invigorating community resilience with intersectional and intergenerational communication by fostering residents’ interest in DRR.
