In this paper the author tried to specify the effects of persons' cognitive frames upon their definition of unfamiliar situations. By analyzing a relatively well-organized set of field data of people's evacuation behavior at the time of the 1983 big tidal wave caused by the Mid-Japan Sea Earthquake, how the inhabitants' collective definition of the natural phenomenon affected their definition of the situation and the consequent behavior will be described and explained. It will become obvious that an already established frame of reference shared by the people toward the disasters causes a very strong effect upon their socially constructed perception of environmental change that is itself a purely natural phenomenon, and some educational implications of this fact will be discussed.
