这项研究项目基于分层随机邮件调查，收集了居住在距离工业园两公里以内的酒井(日本大阪)和东田(日本神户)两个社区的数据。调查问卷的重点是家庭对地震、海啸以及化学和自然危害引发的化学事故(简称NATECH)事故的认识、风险认知和危险调整。此外，我们还检查了家庭对地方政府和行业在地震、海啸以及化学品和天然化学品事故风险下保护他们的能力的看法(接受、信任和所需信息)。我们的调查结果表明，在这两个调查地区，家庭对地震和海啸做好了充分的准备，但没有做好化学和自然事故的准备。在这两个地区，人们对地震和海啸的风险认知都高于化学事故和国家环境卫生事故。这项研究发现，家庭对政府在化学和天然化学品事故风险下保护他们的能力的信任程度很低。受访者对当地政府抵御地震和海啸威胁的能力更有信心。研究结果表明，有必要向居住在工业园附近的居民提供更好的信息，说明他们面临的风险，以及如果事故单独发生或与地震和/或海啸同时发生时他们可以采取的保护行动的类型。
This research project collected data based on a stratified random mail survey from two communities in Sakai (Osaka, Japan) and Higashinada (Kobe, Japan) living within two kilometers from industrial parks. The questionnaires focused on household awareness, risk perception and hazard adjustments for earthquakes, tsunamis, and chemical and natural hazard triggered chemical accidents (known as Natech) accidents. Furthermore, we also examined household views (acceptance, trust, and information needed) towards local government and industries’ ability to protect them under the risk of earthquake, tsunami, and chemical and Natech accidents. Our findings show that in both surveyed areas, households are well prepared for earthquakes and tsunami, but not for chemical and Natech accidents. Risk perception concerning earthquakes and tsunami were higher in both areas than for chemical and Natech accidents. This study found that households’ level of trust in government’s ability to protect them under the risk of chemical and Natech accidents was low. Respondents had more trust in local government’s ability to protect them against earthquake and tsunami threats. The study results demonstrate the need to provide better information to residents living near industrial parks regarding the risks they are subject to and the types of protective actions they can take if an accident occurs alone or concurrent with an earthquake and/ or tsunami.
