Respondents with a higher perception of Probability, Threat, Worry, and fear of the Unknown are more likely to show disaster preparedness and adopt more types of disaster preparedness behavior; respondents with a higher perception of Controllability are less likely to show disaster preparedness and adopt fewer types of disaster preparedness behavior.
Respondents with higher scores on sense of place (Place dependence, Place attachment, and Place identity) are more likely to show disaster preparedness, and adopt more types of disaster preparedness behavior.
Among the 348 sampled households, 67% exhibited no disaster preparedness behavior, and only 2% adopted four of the five types of disaster preparedness behaviors.
Econometric regression models were constructed to explore the impacts of farming households' risk perception and sense of place on their preparedness for disasters (whether the households adopted any of the five types of disaster preparedness behaviors, and the total number of behaviors adopted).
In addition, 62, 35, and 10 households adopted 1, 2, and 3 types of disaster preparedness behaviors, accounting for 17.82, 10.06, and 2.87% of the total sample, respectively.
Among the sampled households, 67% were not prepared for disasters at all, and only 2% adopted four types of disaster preparedness behaviors out of five.
Among the 348 sampled households, 234 (67.24%) were not prepared at all with regard to the five behaviors, and only 7 (2.01%) adopted four types of disaster preparedness behaviors.
Models 1 5 regressed the presence of the five types of disaster preparedness behaviors in households against their potential influencing factors, whereas Model 6 regressed the total number of farming households' adopted disaster preparedness behaviors against its potential influencing factors.
It indicates that among the five types of disaster preparedness behaviors, 90 farming households consciously learned disaster-related knowledge, accounting for 25.86% (the largest proportion) of the total sample.
The JIT strategies are inherently flawed in many types of disaster preparedness efforts and scenarios.
