Research on the determinants of intentions and actions toward residential disaster mitigation measures by residents of Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings

Abstract

This study clarified the process by which residents of Important Traditional Building Preservation Districts implement disaster prevention measures. Important Traditional Building Preservation Districts revealed that the purpose of residents' home renovation work differs depending on the region. We also considered the necessity of varying support depending on the purpose. It has been made clear that residents' interest in fire prevention measures for their homes is not directly related to their decision-making. We considered the possibility that two patterns exist in the process of residents implementing disaster prevention measures. Administrative support is required based on an understanding of regional differences and the level of disaster prevention of individual residents.
