Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 土木工程系所 === 105 === The transmission or delivery of disaster information plays an indispensable role throughout the various stages of emergency management; that is, mitigation and preparedness before the disaster, disaster response and post-disaster recovery. The disaster information such as alert, warning, or evacuation order, is especially critical for disaster response. However, not only can various modes of media and mechanisms be used to deliver disaster information, the media and mechanisms evolve rapidly as a result of the development of the information and communication technology. In recent years, the internet social media and communications software are widely used in smart handheld devices. It has become a popular public information spreading pipeline. Disaster information delivered through the internet social network has gradually become an important tool for the government agencies. It provides a greater number of citizens with up to date vital information. However, how internet social media and communications software is being utilized may vary from country to country based on user characteristics and habits. The research presented here will use sample surveys and statistical analysis to look at Taiwan’s current user habits and degree of recognition of the disaster information received via social media and communication software. The paper then further investigates whether or not certain characteristics of the user affect the individual’s perception of the disaster information received over the Internet social media and communication software. The expectation of the research results seeks to bring about a better classification and targeting of disaster prevention and rescue information and conveyance modes, and, furthermore, to research related design and management processes of disaster messages. Hopefully, it can improve the overall rate of information transmission and reception in the future.
