Constructing an adaptability evaluation framework for community-based disaster management using an earthquake event

This study estimated a resident preference model using the CE method, used demographic data and prevention attitudes to measure resident preference heterogeneity, and estimated the welfare effects of community-based disaster management (CBDM). At the same time, this study also evaluated residents’ willingness to participate in different CBDM scenarios in an earthquake event.

The results confirm that residents prefer holding regular disaster prevention drills, the organization of cooperative drills with local governments, the provision of disaster prevention training, and the channeling of both non-government organizations and government resources in response to a disaster. Significantly, in terms of disaster prevention measures, the integrated community disaster management framework garnered the highest willingness to participate among all scenarios, followed by enhancing residents' adaptive ability and focusing on residents' awareness and perceptions.
