Abstract:

Education is the most basic element that enables people to live in harmony with other people and their environment. On the basis of the problems that take place in any area of the world, misapplications related to education are existed. The aim of this research is to emphasize the importance of education, to specify the general characteristics of disaster education and to reveal the positive effects in terms of community disaster resilience. This research was constructed by literature review. In the course of literature review, "education, disaster education, resilience, disaster resilience and community disaster resilience" were used as keywords to reach the articles. Books and reports about disasters were used. Any restriction was not used such as year and publication in the research. According to the results of this research, disaster education has great importance for building community disaster resilience. With disaster education, the level of knowledge, awareness and interest of people about disasters are increased. People who received disaster education are better prepared for disasters and are better protected from disasters. Thanks to disaster education, disasters are more effectively responsed and losses are reduced. Recovery activities after disasters are shortened and improved, depending on the appropriateness of disaster education. Particularly, in terms of the future of the community, children have a great deal of importance to learn about disasters. To be sustainable and successful, disaster education should be given by experts and experienced persons.
