| description | Disaster can be understood as the probability or threat of quantifiable damage,
injury, liability, loss, or any other negative occurrence that is caused by external
or internal vulnerabilities that required an immediate action. Therefore, this study
intends to understand respondents’ preferences of location when disaster strikes
their settlements/ villages. Their responses are important to indicate their
preparedness when facing disaster. Data collection was employed using the
questionnaire survey method to the 11 villages. The selection of population was
based on a cluster random sampling to ensure equal probability chances were
given to every individual in every village. A total of 847 responses were able to
be used for data analysis. The results show that the respondents’ knowledge on
safe location was influenced by their demographic background. In addition, their
experience with disasters and residential area also influenced their area of
preference to seek refuge in the event of a disaster. Thus, an active promotion of
such information related to risk management and reduction should be varied to
cater the unique characteristics of the population. |
