“…Community disaster resilience influences residents' disaster risk perception. The results are consistent with research hypothesis H1 and Sim et al 75 There was a negative effect of overall community disaster resilience on overall residents' disaster risk perception. In other words, as the overall community disaster resilience increases, residents' overall disaster risk perception decreases.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to further deepen our understanding of the relationship between community resilience and disaster risk perception of residents, so as to provide beneficial enlightenment for the construction of community resilience disaster prevention system and disaster risk management. Methods: This study surveyed 327 rural households in four counties of Sichuan Province, China, that were affected by the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes. Community disaster resilience was divided into five dimensions: connection and caring, resources, transformative potential, disaster management, and information and communication. Residents’ disaster risk perception was divided into three dimensions: possibility, threat, and worry. This study analyzed the characteristics of community disaster resilience and residents’ disaster risk perceptions. Ordinary least squares (OLS) methods were used to explore the correlations between these factors. Results: The results show that (1) Residents’ overall disaster risk perception was at a moderate level, and the community’s overall disaster resilience were above the moderate level. (2) Community connection and caring has a positive significant correlation with the possibility perception of disaster occurrence; transformative potential has a negative significant correlation with the possibility perception of disaster occurrence; the overall community disaster resilience has negative significant correlations with the possibility and the overall residents’ perception of disaster risk occurrence. Conclusions: The implication for the local government is that the government should appropriately increase its contact with external institutions/organizations, especially some Non-Governmental Organization, to strengthen the resilience and disaster prevention capacity of the community. Establish and improve information and communication networks to ensure the timely and effective transmission of effective disaster information, and strengthen the supervision of the dissemination of false information to reduce the losses caused by false information to residents. Attention should be paid to psychological counseling for people in disaster-hit areas to reduce the psychological trauma of the disaster.

“…In terms of community factors, community resilience was identified as the most potent predictor of household disaster preparedness. The results were consistent with those of a study conducted in northwest China, in which disaster preparedness was associated with perceived community resilience [ 38 ]. The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction [ 39 ] launched the Making Cities Resilient 2030 campaign emphasizing the importance of providing support, sharing knowledge and experience, establishing a learning network among cities, introducing technological expertise, connecting various dimensions of the government, and building partnerships to make cities resilient.…”

This study examines current household disaster preparedness and identifies its predictors in South Korea. A structured online survey was administered to 1,243 participants quota-sampled by age and population from each administrative district. Based on the socio-ecological model, interpersonal factors (general characteristics, prior disaster experience, anxiety, dispositional optimism, perceived disaster risk, and disaster preparedness knowledge), institutional factor (front-line preparedness), community factor (community resilience), public policy factor (governmental preparedness), and household disaster preparedness were measured. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Bonferroni test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. The predictors of household disaster preparedness were occupation, economic status, prior disaster experience, anxiety, disaster preparedness knowledge, front-line preparedness, and community resilience. The most potent predictor of household disaster preparedness was community resilience. Our finding that community resilience, a community factor, has a greater impact on household disaster preparedness than personal factors calls for programs that promote such resilience. Further, continuous public education and campaigns are needed to increase public awareness of household disaster preparedness and to improve the public’s competency to prepare for potential disasters. This study raises the need for community programs for residents to increase household disaster preparedness knowledge and improve their competencies related to disaster response. This study is significant in highlighting the importance of community factors in improving household disaster preparedness amid the need to prepare for various types of disasters.

“…It is proven that informal learning is significantly correlated. Sim et al (2021) calls this trend due to increased public awareness and participation. The third discussion is about the role of games or online games as a learning channel and practice of disaster preparedness simulation.…”

This research paper aims to examine several factors that are thought to be correlations in building environmental awareness and preparedness in the face of earthquake, eruption, volcano, and tsunami disasters. The independent variables include formal learning such as school curriculum, intra-school (co-curricular), and extra-school. Online informal variables are learning from social media, learning from games, and learning from a role model such as Greta Thunberg. Meanwhile, sharing environment knowledge is positioned as an intervening variable, and the dependent variable is disaster preparedness. The survey was conducted in twelve sub-district cities around Mount Krakatoa in Indonesia. As many as 238 respondents were taken purposively among junior high school and senior high school students. Data processing in a structural equation model with path analysis shows that all tested independent variables have a significant correlation on sharing knowledge of environmental awareness and affect disaster preparedness. Formal learning does not directly affect disaster preparedness, but extra-school and informal online learning variables significantly affect disaster preparedness. The implications of the results of this study suggest the widespread adoption of topics on environmental care and disaster preparedness in schools and universities for humans and their environmental protection.
