摘要

在這個資訊爆炸的時代，由於各方面科技不斷的提升進步，以往一些無法辦到或是無法容易達成的任務，大部分都因此變得可行；而遊戲的發展更是如此，從以往使用手足的跳格子、捉迷藏等遊戲，到現在利用電腦網路的多人連線遊戲，都讓我們看到這個資訊時代的發展，而遊戲的層面也從一般所認為的娛樂面擴展應用到教育與學習等相關議題方面，最近一兩年剛興起的嚴肅遊戲名詞，便可足以作為代表。
教育包含多種層面，防災教育正是其中的一種。災難的發生，不但造成財物上的重大損失，更連帶造成了人民的死傷；而在這麼多的災難中，火災災難更是最常發生在我們的週遭環境。在我國，每年因火災所造成的財物損失，更是在百萬元以上，因此可以看出火災的防治學習非常重要。對於身心障礙人士更有其重要之處，可以提供視覺障礙者學習火災預防及逃生的知識，是不容忽視的一環。
本研究目的在於提出一套針對視覺障礙者的防災多媒體遊戲設計，設計內容除了讓視覺障礙者學習處於火場中必須了解的相關知識外，並提供有助於視覺障礙者學習預防火災發生的必要資訊。因為教學遊戲本質是遊戲的娛樂性，本設計特別注重遊戲的緊湊性，火災事件的觸發與遊戲計時制的設計，就是要讓使用者更能投入本項遊戲學習之中。此一設計不但可以讓視覺障礙者擁有預防火災發生的相關知識，並可在面臨真實火場時，有較快的臨場應變反應。

In modern society, the science progresses and updates unceasingly. There are many tasks could not be implemented in the past, nowadays we can accomplish them via new technologies. The development of game is even more. The progress from the past to present shows the intensive development of game in the era of information technology. An example is the change from hide-and-seek game to current massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) over the computer networks.
Disaster prevention learning is one kind of education. The disaster not only causes property damage, but also causes people’s death and wound. Among various kinds of disasters, the fire happens in our surroundings very frequently. The fire accident causes people’s injury and property damage. More than one million dollars damage lost each year in statistics. Learning of fire prevention is therefore relatively important in disaster prevention, especially for the visually impaired.
The purpose of this study is to build a game design of disaster prevention for the visually impaired. The contents not only let the visually impaired learner know the relevant knowledge in a fire, but also help the visually impaired to learn the essential information of fire accident prevention. However, amusement is still one of the essence of game-based learning, the tight experience in game is emphasized in the game design. The detonation of fire accident and the timer design can make learners engage in the game learning even more. This design can help the visually impaired not only to have the knowledge of how to prevent the fire accident, but also have the same conditions with those people who can see normally to flee from the fire.
