Table 2. Institutional characteristics and their implications for school-based DRRE learning processes across reviewed contexts

Context observed in reviewed studies Institutionalcharacteristics andgeneral educationalresponses Educationalresponses Implications for learning processes Representative studies
East Asia (e.g.,Japan, China) DRRE is integrated intoregular educationsystems and supportedby institutionalpartnerships. ICT utilization,disaster preventionworkshops,workshops utilizinggames, integrationwith existingcurriculum, andregular disaster drills While disasterpreparedness education canbe conducted on anongoing basis within theexisting educationalsystem, there remainconstraints on theintroduction of new formsof learning. Uchida et al. [13]Shaw et al. [4];Arakawa et al.[37]
South and SoutheastAsia (e.g.,Indonesia, Nepal,Bangladesh) DRRE is frequentlylinked to geography,environmental, andhazard-related learningin response to localdisaster risks. Disasterpsychoeducation,geographyeducation,hazard education,environment naturalscience Supports contextualizedunderstanding of localdisaster risks, but requiresstronger integration intoformal educationalsystems.
