Disaster Evacuation Behavior Among Transient Populations

什么样的社会过程 模式化灾害疏散行为 在流动人口中？ 小 或者没有任何研究 对这个问题。 瞬态 人口定义为人 那些不在社区的人 他们通常居住在 他们会启动灾难疏散 行为 至少有四 Sub-types：旅游，商务 旅行者、移徙工人和 在搬迁过程中的人们 （包括无家可归者）。 的 研究有五个目标：（1） 来描述行为的顺序 在实际疏散中达到高潮 从灾难现场， （2）描述 可能存在的变化范围 在这些行为序列中 在各人口亚类中，城市- 农村活动地点和灾难 相位（即，撞击前或撞击后 疏散）;（3）识别因素 这解释了 这些行为序列，例如， 灾害警报接收机 特征，警告消息 特征，社会群体 组织素质 社区特色; (4)文件的看法 那些曾经是灾难 关于疏散的受害者 执行程序 政府机构代表 私营部门组织 （5）制定政策 应急建议 经理和企业高管。 根据防灾设计 要求，实地采访将 在重大事件发生后进行 地震灾害 和其他特工在八个地点 其中大量的瞬变 已经撤离。

What are the social processes that pattern disaster evacuation behavior among transient populations? Little or no research has been directed toward this question. Transient populations are defined as persons who are not in the community where they normally reside at the time they initiate disaster evacuation behavior. There are at least four sub-types: tourists, business travellers, migrant workers, and people in the process of relocating (including the homeless). The research has five objectives: (1) to describe the sequence of behavior that culminates in actual evacuation from disaster sites among transient populations; (2) to describe the range of variation that may exist among these behavioral sequences among population sub-types, urban- rural event locations, and disaster phases (i.e., pre or post-impact evacuation); (3) to identify factors that account for the variation in these behavioral sequences, e.g., disaster warning receiver characteristics, warning message characteristics, social group qualities, organizational qualities and community characteristics; (4) document perceptions of transients who have been disaster victims regarding evacuation procedures implemented by governmental agency representatives and private sector organizational executives; and (5) formulate policy recommendations for emergency managers and business executives. In accordance with disaster design requirements, field interviews will be conducted following major disasters resulting from earthquakes and other agents in eight locations wherein large numbers of transients have evacuated.
