Abstract

Timely and adequate risk communication before natural hazards can reduce losses from extreme weather events and provide more resilient disaster preparedness. However, existing natural hazard risk communications have been abstract, ineffective, not immersive, and sometimes counterproductive. The implementation of virtual reality (VR) for natural hazard risk communication presents a promising alternative to the existing risk communication system by offering immersive and engaging experiences. However, it is still unknown how different modalities in VR could affect individuals' mitigation behaviors related to incoming natural hazards. In addition, it is also not clear how the repetitive risk communication of different modalities in the VR system leads to the effect of risk habituation. To fill the knowledge gap, we developed a VR system with a tornado risk communication scenario and conducted a mixed-design human subject experiment (N = 24). We comprehensively investigated our research using both quantitative and qualitative results.

躲还是不躲？探索虚拟现实中的不同模式对个人龙卷风减灾行为的影响

在自然灾害发生之前及时、充分地进行风险交流，可以减少极端天气事件造成的损失，并提供更有弹性的备灾措施。然而，现有的自然灾害风险交流抽象、低效、缺乏沉浸感，有时还会适得其反。虚拟现实（VR）技术在自然灾害风险交流中的应用为现有的风险交流系统提供了身临其境、引人入胜的体验，是一种很有前途的替代方案。然而，虚拟现实技术中的不同模式会如何影响个人与即将到来的自然灾害相关的减灾行为仍是未知数。此外，还不清楚 VR 系统中不同模式的竞争性风险交流如何导致风险习惯化效应。为了填补这一知识空白，我们开发了一个带有龙卷风风险交流场景的 VR 系统，并进行了一个混合设计的人体实验（N = 24）。我们利用定量和定性结果对我们的研究进行了全面调查。
