“…The general hypothesis is that people will be more prepared if they are aware of, and understand the dangers associated with, a prospective flooding event, thereby lowering the impacts of an inundation (Botzen et (Takao et al, 2004), place attachment (Mishra et al 2010) and an emotional desire to feel secure in one's home (Harries, 2008).…”

“…For instance, Mishra, Mazumdar, and Suar (2010) include another dimension of place attachment, an economic dimension, to investigate whether there is correlation between residents' place attachment and their flood preparedness. Gosling and Williams (2010) consider a dimension of natural bonding of place attachment to examine whether there is an impact of place attachment on proenvironment behaviors.…”

To extend the discussion and application of place attachment to tourism-relevant contexts, this article proposes two neglected dimensions: place memory and place expectation. Combining these dimensions, a six-dimension construct of place attachment is tested using confirmatory factor analysis and found to be a good fit for data collected from two places: Sydney, Australia and Shanghai, China. The new dimensionality includes an individual's past experience and future expectations of his/her attachment to a place, and thus has a potential to interpret one's attachment to a place based on a shorter term stay. The implications of the study for researchers and destination managers are discussed.

“…This indicates that most of the public is aware of the earthquake risk in their region, generally. This result also demonstrates that hazards proximity is positively correlated with hazards (earthquake) preparedness (Bonaiuto et al, 2016;Howe, 2011;Lindell, 2013;Mishra et al, 2010;Russell et al, 1995;Zhang et al, 2010). 25 We differentiate the preparedness activities into material preparedness and awareness preparedness.…”

Abstract. Disaster preparedness is critical for reducing potential impact. This paper contributes to current knowledge of disaster preparedness using a representative national sample data from China, which faces high earthquake risks in many areas of the country. The adoption of earthquake preparedness activities by the general public, including five material preparation, and five awareness preparation were surveyed, and 3,245 respondents from all of the 31 provinces of mainland 10China participated in the survey. Linear regression models and Logit regression models were used to analyze the effects of potential influencing factors. Overall, the preparedness levels are not satisfied, with a material preparation score of 3.02 (1-5), and awareness preparation score of 2.79 (1-5), nationally. Meanwhile, residents from west China where have higher earthquake risk have higher preparedness degrees. The concern of disaster risk reduction, the concern of building safety and participation in public affairs are consistent positive predictors of both material and awareness preparedness. The 15 demographic and socioeconomic variables' effects, such as gender, age, education, income, urban/rural division, and occupied building type, vary according to different preparedness activities. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical contribution and potential implementation.
