Assessing Influence Cultural Variables Perceptions

项目摘要

This project will examine the effect of cultural variables and different forms of earthquake hazard information on seismic risk perception and preparedness in the Portland (Oregon) Metropolitan Area. The potential societal impact of this work is four-fold. First, the research findings will improve university teaching by being incorporated into the investigator's course materials and textbooks. Second, the project will recruit doctoral students from demographic groups that are historically under-represented in scientific and engineering disciplines. Third, it will involve members of the Latino community, thus increasing community engagement. Finally, the collaborative relationship with local and state emergency management agencies will provide a means of disseminating improved hazard maps and other methods of communicating earthquake hazard information to the public. This project has three specific objectives. First, it will assess the influence of media attention concerning the Cascadia earthquake hazard on earthquake emergency preparedness by households in the surrounding area. Second, it will assess the degree to which different types of hazard maps are accessible and useful to local residents. Third, it will examine the relative effectiveness of active and passive communication strategies in promoting earthquake risk perception and household emergency preparedness. To accomplish these objectives, residents in at-risk areas study will complete a seismic risk perception and preparedness questionnaire, and will have access to information sources to inform their assessments of hazard risk. The effects of information use will be assessed and compared with those collected from individuals attending in-person training sessions based on active-learning techniques and goal-setting strategies. The influence of cultural factors on preparedness attitudes and behavior will be assessed by working with the Portland Latino population using the same materials and approaches, provided in Spanish.

本项目将研究文化变量和不同形式的地震灾害信息对波特兰（俄勒冈州）大都市区地震风险认知和准备的影响。这项工作的潜在社会影响是四方面的。首先，研究结果将通过纳入调查员的课程材料和教科书来改善大学教学。其次，该项目将从历史上在科学和工程学科中代表性不足的人口群体中招募博士生。第三，它将涉及拉丁美洲社区的成员，从而增加社区的参与。最后，与地方和州应急管理机构的合作关系将提供一种传播改进的灾害地图的手段和向公众传达地震灾害信息的其他方法。该项目有三个具体目标。首先，它将评估媒体对卡斯卡迪亚地震灾害的关注对周边地区家庭地震应急准备的影响。第二，它将评估不同类型的灾害地图在多大程度上可供当地居民使用和使用。第三，它将检查主动和被动的沟通策略在促进地震风险意识和家庭应急准备的相对有效性。为了实现这些目标，风险地区的居民将完成一份地震风险认知和准备问卷，并将获得信息来源，以告知他们对灾害风险的评估。信息使用的效果将进行评估，并与那些收集到的个人参加基于主动学习技术和目标设定策略的培训课程。文化因素对准备态度和行为的影响将通过与波特兰拉丁裔人口使用相同的材料和方法进行评估，提供西班牙语。
