このデジタルな時代においても、紙の辞書を必ず置いているのは学校、図書館などの教育現場。つまり、避難所となりうる場所です。紙ならではの物質性に着目して、災害時に防災グッズとして使える辞書を考えました。辞書の表紙と中身、それぞれが防災グッズになるように設計。災害時の紙不足を補うために、辞書の中身はトイレットペーパーやティッシュの代わりとなる柔らかい紙でできています。また、表紙は「灯りになるロウソク」「寒さを凌げるアルミホイル」「水で戻せる圧縮タオル」の三種類の防災グッズになります。このような防災グッズを授業の一環で紹介することで児童や学生の防災意識も上がります。紙の辞書を買うこと自体が防災になるアイデアです。
Even in this digital age, paper dictionaries are always kept in schools, libraries, and other educational settings. In other words, places that can serve as evacuation centers. Focusing on the materiality unique to paper, we came up with a dictionary that can be used as disaster prevention goods in times of disaster. We designed the cover and contents of the dictionary, each of which can be used as a disaster prevention goods. To compensate for the shortage of paper during a disaster, the contents of the dictionary are made of soft paper that can be used as a substitute for toilet paper or tissues. In addition, the three covers become disaster prevention goods: a candle that can be used as a light, aluminum foil to protect against the cold, and a compressed towel that can be put back together with water. Introducing these disaster prevention goods as part of the class will raise disaster awareness among children and students. Buying a paper dictionary is itself a disaster prevention idea.
