Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 土木工程與防災科技研究所 === 101 === Ever since Typhoon Morakot and Typhoon Fanapi devastated the southern part of Taiwan respectively in 2009 and 2010, the importance and necessity for improvement of preventative evacuation has received more and more attention. District offices are the governmental offices standing in the frontline of preventative evacuation execution, responsible for receiving and spreading warning alarm information, evacuation judgment, and mobilization of manpower and resources for evacuation. These tasks are very difficult and involve complicated factors. Even though recently there is much research on evacuation awareness, demands and behavior models among people in natural disasters such as landslides and earthquakes, there is still a lot of room to be explored in terms of the evacuation execution by district offices.
Therefore, this study is conducted on the decision-making behavior models of the district offices in Kaohsiung City for evacuation during typhoons and floods. A questionnaire survey was conducted covering different dimensions: disaster experiences, participation level in disaster rescue and response work, response planning, risk awareness, execution permission, decision-making factors, evacuation timing, policy recognition, disparity between policy and practice, and response from the public. Totally 380 questionnaires were sent to 38 district offices in Kaohsiung City and totally 206 valid samples were returned. The returned samples were analyzed using SPSS for descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, variance analysis and logistic regression analysis. The suggestions based on the analysis results in this study are as follows:
1. Enhancing the disaster rescue manpower and the evacuation execution ability of district offices.
2. Improving the evacuation know-how and execution ability of neighborhood magistrates.
3. Reinforcing the knowledge about evacuation and temporary sheltering among the public.
4. Improving disaster potential awareness and preventative evacuation measures.
