与城市社区相比，农村社区一般更容易受到自然灾害的影响。此外，农村社区的地域、人口、农业生产和文化各不相同，各具特色，这使得不同的农村环境在备灾方面面临挑战。不同地理地貌的农村社区在防灾方面的差异比较少。本研究采用横断面自报式结构问卷调查方法，对西北地区3个不同地形（平原、黄土高原和山地）的旱涝灾害易发区农村居民的防灾意识进行了调查。我们还采用了一个生态框架来研究村民个人备灾的不同维度的决定因素：地方，个人社会人口因素，家庭社会经济地位，灾害适应，社区和邻里的影响。我们发现，当控制个人社会人口和家庭社会经济因素时，地点是备灾的一个重要因素。平原地区的备灾水平高于山地和高原地区。此外，外出打工的村民报告说，他们的备灾水平高于当地村民。此外，社区和邻里在确定个人备灾情况方面发挥了重要作用。这项研究强调了有针对性的社区为基础的减少灾害风险的计划，以提高村民的防灾知识和技能的需要。
Rural communities are generally more vulnerable to natural hazards when compared to urban communities. Moreover, rural communities are diverse and unique in their place, population, agricultural production and culture, which make it challenging for different rural settings to prepare for disasters. There is a little comparison made about the individual disaster preparedness among rural communities with different geographic landforms. In this study, we examined the individual disaster preparedness of rural residents in three drought-and-flood-prone villages with different landforms (plains, loess plateau and mountains) via a cross-sectional self-report structured questionnaire survey conducted in Northwest China. We also adopted an ecological framework to examine the determinants of villagers’ individual disaster preparedness across different dimensions: place, individual sociodemographic factors, family socioeconomic status, hazard adaptations, community and neighbourhood influences. We found that place was a significant factor for disaster preparedness when controlling individual sociodemographic and family socioeconomic factors. The level of preparedness in the plains was higher than both mountains and plateau. Moreover, the villagers who had out-migrated to work reported a higher level of disaster preparedness than did local villagers. In addition, the community and neighbourhood played an important role in determining individual disaster preparedness. This research highlights the needs for tailored community-based disaster risk reduction programs to improve villagers’ knowledge and skills of disaster preparedness.
