The analysis of people's importance believes about administrative and self-help measures for disaster prevention

Abstract

In this paper, in order to examine the factors which affect the people's importance beliefs about administrative and self-help measures for disaster prevention and their causal relationships, we sent out the questionnaires for the citizen of Kyoto city and tested hypotheses.
As a result of the statistical test, it was shown that the disaster risk cognition affects the importance beliefs about administrative and self-help measures for disaster prevention, and the knowledge about an earthquake affects the disaster risk cognition. And, further, the knowledge about an earthquake affects the importance beliefs directly.
