“…The literature about wildfire smoke response in the general population has shown that individuals receive information and social cues from those around them to help fill their gaps in knowledge, which can be essential to how they interpret wildfire smoke [38]. The informational social support and psychosocial factors (i.e., descriptive, subjective and injunctive social norms) that individuals are exposed to can be unique to each community and have the ability to influence perception of threat severity, interest in protective supplies such as masks, seeking out information and taking protective actions [38,52]. One explanation for why people will place higher value on information received from a familiar source is that in unfamiliar situations where there is a higher reliance on outside information, individuals do not only evaluate information based on content but also based on their trust in the social institutions providing information [49].…”

“…Studies of the general population also demonstrate that there is likely a link between risk perception and protective actions in response to wildfire smoke. Risk perception has been found to be positively associated with behavioral intentions and greater perceived harm from wildfire smoke is associated with greater frequency of using protective actions [52,57]. Protective actions can also be affected by perception of potential health impacts, with individuals who believe that smoke will affect their health being more likely to minimize smoke exposure [58].…”

“…Protective actions can also be affected by perception of potential health impacts, with individuals who believe that smoke will affect their health being more likely to minimize smoke exposure [58]. Increased worry about being impacted by smoke has also been linked to increased information seeking behaviors [52,59]. The perceived threat of wildfire smoke and knowledge about its impacts affecting behavioral response in the aforementioned studies proposes individuals engage in protective behaviors as a preventative response.…”

Wildfire Smoke and Protective Actions in Canadian Indigenous Communities

In Canada, Indigenous populations are disproportionately threatened by wildfire smoke and the associated adverse health impacts. This paper presents the results of a narrative review of 51 academic and related resources which explored protective action decision making during wildfire smoke events within Indigenous communities in Canada. A search of scholarly articles and other relevant sources yielded resources which were subject to thematic analysis and described in order to present a narrative review of current knowledge and gaps in research. A small and growing literature provides insights into protective actions taken by the general population during wildfire smoke events, but very little is known about protective actions taken by Indigenous peoples in Canada during wildfire smoke events. This lack of understanding hinders the capacity of decision makers to improve emergency management and minimize community health impacts of wildfire smoke.

The topic of flood phenomena has always been of considerable importance due to the high risks it entails, both in terms of potential economic and social damage and the jeopardizing of human lives themselves. The spread of climate change is making this topic even more relevant. This work aims to contribute to evaluating the role that human factors can play in responding to critical hydrogeological phenomena. In particular, we introduce an agent-based platform for analyzing social behaviors in these critical situations. In our experiments, we simulate a population that is faced with the risk of a potentially catastrophic event. In this scenario, citizens (modeled through cognitive agents) must assess the risk they face by relying on their sources of information and mutual trust, enabling them to respond effectively. Specifically, our contributions include (1) an analysis of some behavioral profiles of citizens and authorities; (2) the identification of the “dissonance between evaluation and action” effect, wherein an individual may behave differently from what their information sources suggest, despite having full trust in them in situations of particular risk; (3) the possibility of using the social structure as a “social risk absorber”, enabling support for a higher level of risk. While the results obtained at this level of abstraction are not exhaustive, they identify phenomena that can occur in real-world scenarios and can be useful in defining general guidelines.

“…Modernization has changed the lifestyle and even social behavior of the community, from a productive society to a consumptive society, so that people are trapped in high work routines. (Wong-Parodi & Garfin, 2022). The rapid development of science and technology presents a variety of sophisticated tools that facilitate community interaction and communication, and even make it easier for people to complete a job.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze in depth the social behavior of the panrita lopi group. This study uses a qualitative method by analyzing the social behavior of the panrita lopi group and describing social phenomena that exist in the community. The types and sources of data used are primary data and secondary data. The data were analyzed using BF Skinner's theory of social behavior. The results showed that there was a change in the social behavior of the panrita lopi group, this change was generally influenced by the work environment, both from the aspect of social objects and non-social objects. This behavior change is in the aspect of a consumptive individual's lifestyle, in the social aspect of the reduced intensity of social interaction between individuals and society in general, but this does not apply to interactions between individuals and members of the panrita lopi group.
