“…The concern for disaster risk reduction and concern for building safety can be seen as risk perception. Similar to most of the prior studies, risk perception is a positive predictor of individual disaster preparedness (Bronfman et al, 2016;Han et al, 2017b;Han and Nigg, 2011;Sadiq and Graham, 2016;Zhang et al, 2010).…”

“…Overall, all these models follow the psychological behavior pattern, but with different components, pathways, structures or even terminologies. Terms like protective behaviors/actions, hazards adjustment behaviors/actions, and mitigation or preparedness are common phrases used to describe the activities undertaken in anticipation of natural hazards (Bubeck et al, 2012;Kohn et al, 2012;Lindell, 2013;Lindell and Perry, 2000;Wachinger et al, 2013). In this paper, the term "preparedness" is mainly used to describe these actions undertaken to keep consistency.…”

“…Recent literature reviews indicate that the relationship between risk perception and household preparedness is hardly observed in empirical studies. The factors of coping appraisal, termed as the efficacy of preparedness actions by Lindell (2013) are consistently related to preparedness behaviors (Bubeck et al, 2012;Kohn et al, 2012). Some demographic (such as gender, income, education) or household characteristics (number of dependents in a household), and previous disaster experience could also be predictors of household preparedness (Kohn et al, 2012).…”

Disaster preparedness is critical for reducing potential impact. This paper contributes to current knowledge of disaster preparedness using 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 indicators of material preparedness and five indicators of awareness preparedness, were surveyed and 3245 respondents from all 31 provinces of Mainland China 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 western China, which has higher earthquake risk, have higher degrees of preparedness. The concern for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and the concern for building safety and participation in public affairs are consistent positive predictors of both material and awareness preparedness. The demographic and socioeconomic variables' effects, such as gender, age, education, income, urban/rural division, and building size, vary according to different preparedness activities. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical contribution and potential implementation.

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.

“…The increase in the frequency of natural hazards has brought them to the front pages of the media [4] and into the focus of people's interest. This research was initiated on the basis of a study by Bronfman et al [5] and questions and comments by population were referred to geographers, in the absence of experts such as seismologists, hydrogeologists, and meteorologists in the West Morava River valley, the area that increasingly faces natural hazards. The West Morava River valley has been hit by various types of natural hazards over the last two decades.…”

Local Resilience to Natural Hazards in Serbia. Case Study: The West Morava River Valley

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

During the past decade, the valley of the West Morava in the central part of the Republic of Serbia experienced several natural hazards that have changed the life of the inhabitants. The aim of this paper is to show how people perceive natural hazards in the areas where they do not have catastrophic consequences for the entire population. The perceptions of natural hazards were examined according to similar studies and collected through surveys and interviews. The obtained stratified sample information was coded, and the results are expressed in the parameters of descriptive statistics, using T-test and ANOVA. The population is partially affected if inhabited locations are in the threatened part of the West Morava River valley and if their activities have direct consequences by natural disasters. They emphasize the importance of the political influences and mass media, but they show the need for additional information on prevention and protection. That is where they see geography as profession that sublimates all knowledge of natural disasters, unlike others that are more narrowly skilled. The results of the research are the starting point for further regional comparisons, which will complement the picture of the people's attitude and resilience to natural hazards in Serbia and the Balkan Peninsula.
