| Summary: | Starting from the importance of risk perception for taking certain preventive
measures to protect people and their property from disasters, the subject of
the research is to examine the factors influencing public perception of
mythically-based human behavior in disaster conditions. Using the random
sampling method, 250 adult respondents were surveyed in the city of
Belgrade, using a specially created and adapted survey questionnaire. The
results of the research show that there is no statistically significant
influence of gender, age, educational and economic factors on the public
perception of human behavior in disaster conditions. The results of the
research can be used to improve strategies and campaigns based on risk
assessment, aimed at improving the safety of people in disasters. |
