Abstract/Summary:
The study shows that the risk information,risk perception can effect the prevention behavior of the residents before the disaster.However,previous studies mostly adopt a single varible instead of the multiple variables to explore the relationship between risk information,risk perception and protection behavior.Based on the theoretical framework of protect motivation theory,this paper tests ancient architecture residents’ awareness of fire prevention by using the contingent valuation survey method among 217 ancient building residents in anhui.In order to understanding the relationship among variables,we categorize wildfire mitigation behavior as formal action,investment of building,and risk information into three dimensions:information content,information observed,and information milling.Through the empirical study of the impact of different forms of information on the subjective knowledge of the residents and the impact of subjective knowledge on the process of risk perception,we study the impact of risk perception on disaster prevention behavior.The study found that the three dimensions of fire risk information have a significant influence on the subjective knowledge of the residents.Subjective knowledge has positive effect on risk cognitive mediating process.Perceived consequences and response efficacy of the risk cognitive mediating process have positive effect on formal action,self-efficacy has positive effect on investment of building.The verification conclusions of this paper will help the government formulate policies relevant to the enhancement of resident,self-protection consciousness by focusing on and targeting risk information transmisson.This paper enriches the application of protection motivation theory in the field of risk management,and can promote the establishment of a reasonable risk management mechanism.
