Abstract

As a part of research project to develop disaster education programs in Chungbuk Province, this study explored residents’ perception of disaster-safety education and experience programs and their intention to participate in future programs. This study utilized data of ‘Chungbuk Province Residents’ Perception of Disaster Safety Survey of 2017’ collected in May 2017, and 1,556 useable responses were analyzed statistically. Major findings were as follows: (1) Overall, respondents perceived safety against disasters and disaster safety education and experience opportunities very important. (2) Over 76% of the respondents were preparing for disasters usually, while only 30% had participated in disaster safety education or experience programs in the past. (3) The dominant reasons not preparing for disasters were lack of information, indifference to disasters and safety frigidity. (4) About 52% showed their intention to participate in future disaster safety education experience programs. (5) Results from a series of discriminant analyses indicates that perceived importance of disaster safety education and experience opportunities had the strongest influence on intention to participate in future education and experience programs. In conclusion, it is suggested to utilize diverse media to enhance residents’ perception of disaster education and experience programs in order to increase their intention to participate in such programs; and to develop programs targeting diverse resident types.
