Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of a community disaster awareness training on subjective disaster preparedness, focusing on the case of a Republic of Korean aid-supported disaster risk reduction project in the Ayeyarwaddy region of Myanmar. A subsequent survey by the authors of a total of 182 households, an equal number of project participating and control households, produced encouraging results regarding the endeavour. Although both ordinal logistic regression and ordinary least squares models support overall robust effectiveness of participating in the project, the results also reveal different effects of specific activities. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) awareness meetings and trainings, and personal visits to share knowledge and/or to distribute informative flyers, are important. In contrast, the significance of drills or community activities, in mass, is lost in a combined model. Consequently, ‘personalising risk’ should be prioritised in any DRR undertaking, as well as, and in particular, development cooperation aimed at increasing confidence in disaster preparedness.

调查社区灾害意识培训对主观备灾的影响:以缅甸伊洛瓦底江地区为例

本文研究了社区灾害意识培训对主观备灾的影响，并以韩国援助支持的缅甸伊洛瓦底江地区减少灾害风险项目为例。作者随后对总共182个家庭(参与项目和控制项目的家庭数目相等)进行了调查，在这项努力方面产生了令人鼓舞的结果。尽管有序逻辑回归和普通最小二乘模型都支持参与项目的总体稳健有效性，但结果也揭示了特定活动的不同效果。减少灾害风险(DRR)意识会议和培训，以及个人访问以分享知识和/或分发信息传单，都很重要。相比之下，演习或社区活动的意义，在大量，失去了在一个组合的模式。因此，在任何减少灾害风险的工作中，特别是在旨在增加对备灾信心的发展合作中，都应该优先考虑“个性化风险”。
