Abstract: Background: Education plays the most important role in establishing a disaster management system by creating a safety culture in the community and by engaging its members. This study explored the trends in research on disaster safety education based on the community from the perspective of lifelong education. Methods: We undertook a systematic literature review and keyword network analysis. The main search keywords were “community”, “disaster”, “safety”, and “education”. The subjects of education were adults, including disaster-vulnerable people, such as elderly and disabled people. A total of 185 articles and papers were identified and then narrowed down to 56. Results: Research related to disaster safety education has developed in a direction that reflects the characteristics of disasters that occur in the region. Currently, disaster safety education is being studied in various fields, including the humanities, social sciences, and engineering, focusing on disaster prevention. The main research methods in the reviewed literature were qualitative, especially case studies that applied narrative, storytelling, and risk scenario construction. Conclusion: The study provides a framework for the in-depth analysis of disaster risk management and risk level of communities, and lays the academic foundation for it.
