Abstract
Natural disasters, bring casualties and financial loss every year around the world. This issue of defense and disaster preparedness is seen as part of the meaning of passive defense. Although places like “Crisis Management Centers” has been greatly helpful in disaster preparedness for authorities, but it did not work in the field of general education. Increasing of disastrous events, blood and mayhem have produced a group of museums whose main purpose is the exhibition of such disasters and memorialisation of their victims. All disaster museums, it seems, based on their locations, aim at contributing to preventing disasters and informing about risks that threaten our global cultural heritage, both material and intangible. The key for museums is to draw the line between entertainment and education: in any case, between museum building forms and spaces. The main problem with these sites is that how and in what way these museums can be effective on disaster awareness in every society. The importance of this issue causes to build many of these buildings in disaster sites. With various programs, trying to inform people in this field. Research Methods In This paper, is “content analysis” and “case study”, and review of the documents and their content and criticise of architecture and specific programs of these buildings have been trying to get acceptable results in this study. Keywords: Natural Disasters, Museum, Education, Passive Defense, Natural Disaster Museum
