Abstract

The Jakarta Metropolitan Area is one of the cities heavily affected by floods in Asia. Effective disaster risk reduction strategies require deep understanding of what motivates its citizens towards preparedness and mitigation actions. This study aimed to discern these motivating factors among Jakarta's residents through the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) approach. Through an online survey, 304 participants provided insights into how the extended PMT factors shape their Protection Motivation (PM) towards flood preparedness. A total of nine (9) variables and 41 constructs were considered in this study. PMT factors were comprised of PM, Perceived Severity (PS), Perceived Vulnerability (PV), Response Efficacy (RE), and Perceived Self-Efficacy (SE) along with additional factors such as Media (M), Government Preventive Actions (GA), Flood Experience (FE), and Geographical Perspectives (GP). Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed that SE had the most substantial impact on influencing PM (β = 0.522) followed by PV, PS, and RE. The results also showed the significance of M and GA to both SE and RE. Meanwhile, FE illustrates positive impact to both PV and PS. Interestingly, GP was found to be only significant to PV and not to PS. External factors M and GA demonstrated a significant indirect effect on PM through SE, whereas GP exhibited a significant indirect effect on PM through PV. These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and disaster management practitioners, emphasizing the power of media and the need for comprehensive strategies that address both the psychological and practical aspects of flood disaster readiness in Jakarta and potentially other flood-prone regions.

确定影响雅加达市民防洪准备的因素：保护动机理论方法

雅加达大都市区是亚洲受洪水影响最严重的城市之一。要制定有效的减少灾害风险战略，就必须深入了解公民采取备灾和减灾行动的动机。本研究旨在通过保护动机理论（PMT）方法，从雅加达居民中找出这些动机因素。通过在线调查，304 名参与者就 PMT 扩展因素如何影响其防洪动机（PM）提供了见解。本研究共考虑了 9 个变量和 41 个构造。PMT 因素由 PM、感知严重性 (PS)、感知脆弱性 (PV)、响应效能 (RE) 和感知自我效能 (SE) 以及媒体 (M)、政府预防措施 (GA)、洪水经验 (FE) 和地理视角 (GP) 等其他因素组成。偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）显示，SE 对 PM 的影响最大（β = 0.522），其次是 PV、PS 和 RE。结果还显示，M 和 GA 对 SE 和 RE 都有显著影响。同时，FE 对 PV 和 PS 都有积极影响。有趣的是，GP 只对 PV 有显著影响，而对 PS 没有影响。外部因素 M 和 GA 通过 SE 对 PM 产生了显著的间接影响，而 GP 则通过 PV 对 PM 产生了显著的间接影响。这些研究结果为政策制定者和灾害管理实践者提供了可操作的见解，强调了媒体的力量，以及在雅加达和其他可能的洪灾多发地区制定综合战略的必要性，这些战略既要解决洪灾备灾的心理问题，也要解决实际问题。

期刊介绍： Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers. All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
