“…The older the residents are and the longer they live in their current residence, the more inclined they are to choose the centralized in-situ resettlement. The reason may be the strong habit and dependence on local facilities, and this is consistent with the study of Lu et al ( 23 ). The more educated (B = 0.372, p = 0.007) the residents are, the more they want to resettle in other places.…”

“…Existing studies have shown that post-earthquake resettlement experience can affect their resettlement choice behavior again ( 23 ). Liu et al ( 29 ) have studied the satisfaction of residents under the two post-disaster resettlement modes, namely the in-situ resettlement and the reallocated resettlement.…”

“…The results show that the main migration groups caused by natural disasters are the elderly who have lived in a place for a short period of time and families with low education levels ( 22 ). Lu's research also finds that people who have lived in a place for years may not choose to move their jobs or homes elsewhere due to strong local dependency ( 23 ). An investigation into the migration of different populations after the 1970 Earthquake in Peru shows that many of the victims fell into poverty after the earthquake and many young people preferred to seek employment opportunities in big cities ( 24 ).…”

“…Facing potential disaster risks, some people living in risky areas will decide to resettle, while others are reluctant to move. For rural residents who have experienced post-disaster resettlement, the experience of previous post-disaster resettlement is also an important factor affecting later choices ( 23 ). As illustrated, much research has been performed to identify and analyze impacting factors but these factors are not grouped under themes to be used for systematic analysis for a region in China, which makes it difficult for the local government to design specific resettlement options based on the preferences of the local residents.…”

Earthquakes occur frequently in rural areas of Sichuan, China, causing huge damage and high mortality. The built environment plays a significant role in providing residents with safe and resilient settlements in such areas. There is yet little research on how rural families in developing countries cope with geological disasters like earthquakes, and how built environmental factors would influence their resettlement choices which would directly affect their quality of life afterward. Urban planning activities should be accompanied by these insights to design and create human-centric resettlements accordingly. In this study, the resettlement choices after three major earthquakes in Sichuan were studied for this reason. Random sampling and face-to-face questionnaire surveys were combined with factor analysis and binary logistic regression to understand the resettlement modes desired by the residents and the influencing factors. The results show that residents who have lived in their current places long and whose houses were not built recently are more likely to choose the in-situ resettlement. Accessibility to employment and public services has a significant impact on residents' choice of in-situ resettlement or reallocated resettlement, and so does the previous resettlement experience. The research results can provide useful suggestions for Chinese rural area post-earthquake resettlement planning following a human-centric approach with empirical data.

“…BWS is a preference elicitation method frequently used in marketing (e.g., Chrysochou et al, 2012), health research (e.g., Flynn et al, 2007), and environmental economics (e.g., Soto et al, 2018). In demographic studies and migration research, BWS offers a novel alternative to stated preference methods (e.g., Lu et al, 2018), so far rarely applied to demographic and mobility studies. Balbontin et al (2015) did apply a BWS to understand preferences for location characteristics such as rent, access to public transport, and distance to essential and recreational services but not for environmental or climatic characteristics.…”

Trade‐offs in destination choices among the urban populations in three Southeast Asian countries

Internal migration of the urban population is substantial with diverse drivers, barriers, and reasons for destination choices. Whereas internal mobility in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries is well-studied under the umbrella of residential, labour, amenity, and retirement migration, such research in non-OECD countries is rare and limited to the economic aspects of migration. In this study, we assess the relative importance of social, environmental, and amenity factors in urban peoples' destination choices within three countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines) through an online survey. Concerns about safety and high living costs at potential destinations were among the most important factors in mobility decisions, whereas amenities were the least important. A high risk from climatic hazards, particularly from severe ones such as flooding and typhoons, was also an influential destination disincentive, particularly for people in Malaysia and the Philippines, that is, likely to grow in importance as climate change accelerates unabated.To maintain the attractiveness of highly exposed cities and regions to skilled people, urban planners must minimise these risks, for example, through crime control, flood disaster management, and early warning systems.
