自然災害対策行動を予測する行動モデルに関する研究動向と課題

Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to review research on psychological model of natural disaster preparation. Although the level of natural disaster risk perception is rising among lay people, it would be widely agreed that not many people actually take natural disaster preparation behaviour. Therefore, natural disaster preparation has been described as one of the obstacles that must be cleared in order to elevate the level of natural disaster preparation in the society. However, not much is known about the factors that drive people to take natural disaster preparation before the actual disaster strikes. The author summarized some of the state-of-the-art research on natural disaster preparation behaviour in behavioural science to provide beneficial information to understand the essential factors that motivate or drive people to prepare for possible natural disaster. Implications for further research were also discussed. Keywords: natural disaster preparation, preparedness, psychological model
