Earthquake Risk Perception in Belgrade: Implications for Disaster Risk Management

EARTHQUAKE RISK PERCEPTION IN BELGRADE: IMPLICATIONS FOR DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT Vladimir M. Cvetković, 1,2,3,*, Jelena Planić2,3 1 Faculty of Security Studies, University of Belgrade, Gospodara Vučića 50, 11040 Belgrade, Serbia 2 International Institute for Disaster Research, Dimitrija Tucovića 121, 11056 Belgrade, Serbia; 3 Scientific-Professional Society for Disaster Risk Management, Dimitrija Tucovića 121, 11056 Belgrade, Serbia. Correspondence: vmc@fb.bg.ac.rs Received: 20 February 2022; Revised: 30 March; Accepted: 15 May 2022; Published: 30 June 2022 Abstract: This paper presents quantitative research results regarding the influence of demographic factors on the earthquake risk perception of the citizens of Belgrade. This research aims to determine how much the citizens of Belgrade are aware of the risk and prepared to react in the event of an earthquake. The relationship between gender, age, level of education, and facility ownership with risk perception was examined. T-test, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to examine the relationship between the variables and the earthquake risk perception. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire that was given and then collected online among 235 Belgrade respondents during September 2020. The questions were divided into three catego- ries. The first part of the questionnaire was consisted of general ques- tions about the demographic characteristics of the respondents, then the questions that would determine the level of awareness of the respond- ents about earthquakes, and finally, the questions for determining the respondents’ preparedness. The results of the research show that women have a higher perception of risk. It has been proven that the youngest respondents from the age category of 18-30 have the lowest risk percep- tion. The influence of education level in no case showed a statistically significant correlation with risk perception. Keywords: disasters, […]

Fenomenološke i etiološke dimenzije katastrofa izazvanih zemljotresom [Phenomenological and Etiological Dimensions of Earthquake-Induced Disasters]

Planić, J., & Cvetković, V. (2022). Fenomenološke i etiološke dimenzije katastrofa izazvanih zemljotresom [Phenomenological and Etiological Dimensions of Earthquake-Induced Disasters]. In Pravni i bezbednosni aspekti upravljanja rizicima od prirodnih i antropogenih katastrofa (pp. 269–321). Beograd: Naučno-stručno društvo za upravljanje rizicima u vanrednim situacijama; Pravni fakultet u Novom Sadu; Međunarodni institut za istraživanje katastrofa. FENOMENOLOŠKE I ETIOLOŠKE DIMENZIJE KATASTROFA IZAZVANIH ZEMLJOTRESOM Jelena Planić Naučno-stručno društvo za upravljanje rizicima u vanrednim situaci- jama, Beograd; Međunarodni institut za istraživanje katastrofa Vladimir M.

Apstrakt:Prirodne katastrofe su postale deo svakodnevnog ži- vota savremenog čoveka, i njihove pojave su sve učestalije i intenzivnije zbog klimatskih promena. Zemljotresi zbog svoje nepredvidivosti predstavljaju jednu od najstrašnijih i najskupljih prirodnih katastrofa. Autori u ovom radu, koristeći pregled lite- rature, predstavljaju osnovne karakteristike zemljotresa kao pri- rodnih katastrofa, kao i značaj pripremljenosti u odgovoru na prirodne katastrofe. Prikazani su osnovni elementi zemljotresa, klasifikacija, skale za merenje jačine zemljotresa i posledice koje izazivaju zemljotresi. S obzirom na to da pripremljenost za ka- tastrofe na nivou pojedinca, zajednice i društva predstavlja efi- kasno oruđe u smanjenju rizika od katastrofa i ublažavanju nji- hovih posledica, u radu je posebna pažnja posvećena načinima poboljšanja pripremljenosti. Korišćenjem brojnih naučnih rado- va, prikazana su iskustva mnogih država čije primere je potrebno pratiti kako bi se na pravilan način osmislile i implementirale strategije ublažavanja posledica prirodnih katastrofa, i programi edukacije građana. Ključne reči: prirodne katastrofe, zemljotres, pripremljenost, posledice. Uvod Organizacija za epidemiologiju katastrofa (Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters – CRED) definiše prirodne katastrofe kao „iznenadne i nepredvidive situacije ili događaje koji izazivaju ogromna razaranja, materijalnu štetu i ljudska stradanja i kada prevazilaze mogućnosti organa lokalne vlasti da na te […]
