“…On the one hand, indications of higher SES, such as income, education and home ownership have been linked to decreases in risk estimates in US respondents (Farley, 1998;Lindell and Prater, 2000). On the other, a number of studies have linked increasing educational attainment of residents in moderately developed countries to higher risk perceptions (Armas and Avram, 2008;Paradise, 2006;Rüstemli and Karanci, 1999).…”

“…Older people are less likely to see earthquakes as a risk when compared with younger people (Dooley et al, 1992;Farley, 1998;Heller et al, 2005;Lai and Tao, 2003;Palm, 1998;Rüstemli and Karanci, 1999;Simpson-Housley and Curtis, 1983;Spittal et al, 2008;Turner et al, 1986). This runs contrary to a number of results from studies on risk perception of other safety hazards (e.g., Dosman et al, 2001;Kraus et al, 1992).…”

“…First and foremost, past experience of damaging earthquakes has been found to increase risk concerns (Dooley et al, 1992;GruevVintila and Rouquette, 2007;Karanci and Aksit, 1999;Kasapoglu and Ecevit, 2004a;Jackson, 1981;Lindell and Prater, 2000;Palm, 1998;Plapp and Werner, 2006;Rüstemli and Karanci, 1999). However, the strength of the relationship between past experience and increased concern seems to vary depending on how earthquake experience is measured (Lindell and Perry, 2000), and on the outcome of the experience (i.e., personal loss or not) as covered in Sect.…”

Abstract. The majority of people at risk from earthquakes do little or nothing to reduce their vulnerability. Over the past 40 years social scientists have tried to predict and explain levels of seismic hazard adjustment using models from behavioural sciences such as psychology. The present paper is the first to synthesise the major findings from the international literature on psychological correlates and causes of seismic adjustment at the level of the individual and the household. It starts by reviewing research on seismic risk perception. Next, it looks at norms and normative beliefs, focusing particularly on issues of earthquake protection responsibility and trust between risk stakeholders. It then considers research on attitudes towards seismic adjustment attributes, specifically beliefs about efficacy, control and fate. It concludes that an updated model of seismic adjustment must give the issues of norms, trust, power and identity a more prominent role. These have been only sparsely represented in the social psychological literature to date.

“…С обзиром да велики број научних истраживања показује да губици и штете могу бити знатно ублажени уколико се људи адекватно припреме (Lindell, Whitney, 2000; Mileti, Sorensen, 1987), предузимању припремних мера би требало посветити много већу пажњу. Међутим, упркос постојању великог броја научних радова у којима се указује на очигледну корист од предузимања припремних мера, истраживања показују да их људи занемарују Rüstemli, Karanci, 1999), па их овакве катастрофе најчешће погађају неспремне. Као један од разлога за њихово оглу-шивање и занемаривање мера припремљености у истраживањима се наводи да многи грађани сматрају како су природне опасности саме по себи изузетно снажни физички догађаји, те да би људски напори ка ублажавању последица били неефикасни (Tanaka, 2005).…”

“…However, the existing literature shows that most communities fail to take adequate steps to mitigate against the effects of such events, even in areas where disasters occur with relatively high frequency (Joffe et al 2013;Solberg et al 2010;Karanci et al 2005;Rüstemli and Karanci 1999).…”

Digital engagement methods for earthquake and fire preparedness: a review

Natural or human-made hazards may occur at any time. Although one might assume that individuals plan in advance for such potentially damaging events, the existing literature indicates that most communities remain inadequately prepared. In the past, research in this area has focused on identifying the most effective ways to communicate risk and elicit preparedness by means of public hazard education campaigns and risk communication programmes. Today, web-and mobile-based technologies are offering new and far-reaching means to inform communities on how to prepare for or cope with extreme events, thus significantly contributing to community preparedness. Nonetheless, their practical efficacy in encouraging proactive hazard preparedness behaviours is not yet proven. Building on behaviour change interventions in the health field and looking in particular at earthquakes and fire hazards, the challenging RISK team has reviewed the currently active websites, Web, and mobile applications that provide information about earthquake and home fire preparedness. The review investigates the type of information provided, the modality of delivery, and the presence of behaviour change techniques in their design. The study proves that most of the digital resources focus on a single hazard and fail to provide context-sensitive information that targets specific groups of users. Furthermore, behaviour change techniques are rarely implemented in the design of these applications and their efficacy is rarely systematically evaluated. Recommendations for improving the design of Web-and mobile-based technologies are made so as to increase their effectiveness and uptake for a multi-hazard approach to earthquake and home fire preparedness.
