Journal for Social Sciences, TEME, 42(1), 35–56. EXAMINATION OF CITIZENS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS PROVIDING SUPPORT TO VULNERABLE PEOPLE AND VOLUNTEERING DURING DISASTERS* Vladimir M. Cvetković1*, Srđan Milašinović2, Željko Lazić3 1Faculty of Security Studies, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 2The Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade, Serbia 3Special Advisor to the Director of the Security Intelligence Agency, Belgrade, Serbia *vmc@fb.bg.ac.rs Abstract The subject of quantitative research is to examine the factors influencing citizens’ attitudes towards assisting vulnerable people and volunteering during natural disasters. In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between gender, age, level of education, marital status, employment, income level and perception of personal religiosity, and the attitudes to assisting vulnerable people and volunteering. Multiple-point random sampling was used to survey 2500 citizens in the area of 19 local communities endangered by the consequences of natural disasters. The results of the survey show that 29% of respondents would provide assistance to vulnerable people in the form of money, 18,2% in the form of food and water, 21,6% in clothing and footwear, 23,3% would volunteer, while 4,6% would engage in shelter centers for endangered people. In addition, it was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between the attitudes towards providing assistance in the form of money and the employment status. As well as, attitudes about volunteering and provision of food and water assistance are not related to the employment status of respondents, etc. The results of the research can be used to improve the management system in natural disasters and to create appropriate educational programs for establishing a more efficient and comprehensive system of assistance to vulnerable people and the operation of volunteer organizations.

Vulnerability of critical infrastructure by natural disasters

Mijalković, S., & Cvetković, V. (2013). Vulnerability of critical infrastructure by natural disasters. National Critical Infrastructure Protection: Regional Perspective (pp. 91–102). Beograd: Faculty of Security Studies. Saša Mijalković, Vladimir Cvetković The Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade sasa.mijalkovic@kpa.edu.rs vladimir.cvetkovic@kpa.edu.rs   VULNERABILITY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE BY NATURAL DISASTERS Abstract: Natural disasters increasingly threaten the safety of the mankind. Not only that, in past decades there has been an obvious increase in the number of natural disasters, but it is also present an increase in their destructiveness. This results in a higher loss of life, material and non-material damage. In addition, compromising critical infrastructure prevents or limits the implementation of vital state functions (governance, health, education, energy, economic, social, and general se- curity functions), which is further reflected in the safety of states and citizens. Despite the techno- logical development of mankind, societies are increasingly threatened. It is clear that the disasters and their impact on people and critical infrastructure cannot be prevented, but mechanisms for prediction and early warning of disasters can be improved that the resilience and capacity for faster and more efficient revitalization of endangered values and goods can be increased. Besides the degree of destruction, the response strategy in an emergency situation will depend on the type of disaster, but also on the kind of critical infrastructure and specific goods and values that are threatened. In this regard, the paper gives an overview of the scope and the content of (still undetermined) concept of critical infrastructure, the term and the phenomenology of natural disasters, the consequences of geophysical, hydrological and meteorological disasters on critical infrastructure and critical infrastructure protection capabilities against natural disasters. Key words: safety, critical infrastructure, natural disasters, the consequences of threats to critical infrastructure by natural disasters, protection of critical infrastructure from natural disasters.

Viktimizacija ljudi prirodnim katastrofama – geoprostorna i vremenska distribucija

Mijalković, S., & Cvetković, V. (2015). Viktimizacija ljudi prirodnim katastrofama – geoprostorna i vremenska distribucija [Victimisation of people by natural disasters – geospatial and temporal distribution]. Temida, 17(4), 19–43. Viktimizacija ljudi prirodnim katastrofama: geoprostorna i vremenska distribucija posledica   Saša Mijalković Vladimir M. Cvetković* Predmet rada je deskriptivna statistička analiza geoprostorne i vremenske distribucije viktimizacije ljudi (poginuli, povređeni, pogođeni i materijalna šteta) sa posebnim osvrtom na geofizičke, meteorološke, klimatske, biološke i hidrološke nepogode koje su se dogodile u svetu od 1900. do 2013. godine. Pri tome, ljudi koji su pogođeni raznovrsnim prirodnim katastrofama se mogu posmatrati kao nevidljive žrtve jer ih država i društvo ne prepoznaju kao žrtve, pa samim tim ne dobijaju adekvatnu zaštitu, pomoć i podršku. Statističko istraživanje je sprovedeno na podacima međunarodne baze podataka Centra za istraživanje epidemiologije katastrofa (CRED) u Briselu. U okviru vremenske analize raz- matrana je distribucija posledica prirodnih katastrofa po ljude, u intervalima od po deset godina. Istom metodologijom analizirana je geoprostorna distribucija viktimizacije ljudi prirodnim katastrofama po kontinentima. Cilj istraživanja je utvrđivanje geoprostorne i vremenske distribucije viktimizacije ljudi prirodnim katastrofama u svetskom geopro- storu u periodu od 1900. do 2013. godine. Rezultati istraživanja nedvosmisleno ukazuju na porast broja i ozbiljnosti posledica prirodnih katastrofa. Ključne reči: viktimizacija, prirodne katastrofe, nevidljive žrtve, ljudska i nacionalna bezbednost.   1 Rad je rezultat naučnoistraživačkog projekta pod nazivom Razvoj metodologije evidentiranja kriminaliteta kao osnova kreiranja efikasnih mera za njegovo suzbijanje i prevenciju.

Seismic resilience refers to a community’s ability to withstand and recover from earthquake impacts, while preparedness gaps are the areas where current measures are insufficient to effectively respond to or mitigate earthquake damage. This study focuses on Montenegro – a region with frequent seismic activity – aiming to assess resili- ence levels, identify critical gaps in preparedness, and evaluate the effectiveness of existing response strategies. Using qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews, the research gathered insights from residents of Montenegro’s most vulner- able cities: Nikšić, Podgorica, Bar, Kotor, Cetinje, Budva, Herceg Novi, and Berane. Participants, chosen for their first-hand experience with significant earthquake impacts, provided valu- able perspectives on various aspects of resilience, from local  * Corresponding author: Vladimir M.

The impact of age on flood preparedness in Serbia

Cvetković, V., Milašinović, S., & Gostimirović, L. (2016). The impact of age on flood preparedness in Serbia. International Journal of Social Science and Humanities, 6(10), 10–23. The Impact of Age on Flood Preparedness in Serbia Vladimir M. Cvetković, Ph.D. Srđan Milašinović, Ph.D. Ladin Gostimirović, Ph.D. Academy of Criminalities and Police Studies Cara Dušana 196, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia Abstract The aim of the study was to examine the effect of age on the preparedness of Serbian citizens to respond to a natural disaster caused by the flood in the country. Taking all Serbia’s municipalities into account in which a risk of flooding persists, nineteen of them were selected randomly for the research in which, using a multi-stage random sample survey, 2.500 citizens in areas/households that are more vulnerable in relation to the hundred- year high waters or potential risk were interviewed. The research results indicated that there was a statistically significant correlation between the age of respondents and a number of variables associated with the preparedness of citizens to respond to the natural disaster. The research originality lies in the fact that in Serbia the research of examining the state of citizens’ preparedness to respond to a disaster has never been conducted. The results can be used to create a strategy for improving the level of preparedness of citizens to respond to sudden environmental changes. The research indicated the way of Serbian citizens’ response with regard to their ages in order to raise the preparedness to a higher level. Keywords: Natural Disasters, Flood Preparedness, Citizen Preparedness, Age, Citizens, Serbia. Introduction Speaking about the territory of the Republic of Serbia, we can say that the degree of vulnerability of the population and their material goods are not uniform, but vary depending on the type of natural disaster and expected potential damage (Cvetković & […]

Cvetković, Jasmina Tanasić, Adem Öcal, Mirjana Živković- Šulović, Nedeljko Ćurić, Stefan Milojević & Snežana Knežević Abstract The objective of this quantitative study was to examine the impact of selected factors on the level and state of public health capacities in local self-government units in 2021. This survey included 77 out of 145 local self-government units in the Republic of Serbia and examined six dimensions defined by the Law on Public Health. The results of the Pearson correlation showed that there were statistically significant correlations between the effectiveness of the realized program budget and microbiologically defective drinking water samples from the so-called village water supply systems, defective samples of drinking water from public taps, unsatisfactory analyses of wastewater samples, and the number of mandated fines issued. The results of the logistic regression model showed that the local self-government units that received assistance from the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities were 5.6 times more likely to perform analyses of their health status.

The role of social networks in disaster risk reduction

Cvetković, V., Filipović, M., Dragićević, S., & Novković, I. (2018). The role of social networks in disaster risk reduction. 8th International Scientific Conference “Archibald Reiss Days”, 2–3 October, Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade. THE ROLE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION Vladimir M. Cvetković, PhD Marina Filipović Faculty of Security Studies, University of Belgrade, Serbia Slavoljub Dragićević, PhD Ivan Novković, PhD Faculty of Geography, University of Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: As of recently, the role of social networks in the disaster risk management process has become significantly important. This is largely due to a huge number of smartphones with installed applications (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) that allow their users to share information in the form of text, images and video. By analyzing and describ- ing the multiple possibilities and significance of social networks in various stages of disaster risk management (before, during and after), the authors conducted a research of quantitative research tradition with the aim of examining the attitudes of the stu- dents of the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies and the Faculty of Security Studies University of Belgrade in terms of possibilities, reliability and motivation for the use of social networks in such situations. The results obtained in the research show a high degree of motivation of respondents for the use of social networks in situations immediately before, but also during and after the manifested consequences of disas- ters. Emphasizing the undeniable advantages of using the social networks in disaster risk management, as well as the results of the research, decision-makers could create certain programs to improve citizen security and reduce disaster risks by using infor- mation platforms of the social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Keywords: disasters, social networks, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, attitudes. INTRODUCTION The significance of social networks in reducing disaster risk (Cvetković&Filipović, 2017) has […]

Also, several nuclear power plants are in operation near Serbia, so caution and sufficient knowledge should be kept in mind and prevention measures would be implemented in this type of disaster. The research subject is the study of risk perception and preparedness for potential nuclear accidents. The research was conducted on the territory of Belgrade using multi-stage random sampling with 256 respondents. The research results indicate a severe need to inform and educate citizens about risk management in disasters caused by nuclear accidents in Serbia, bearing in mind that the results showed that preparedness is not at a significant level. Based on the research results, preconditions are created to create appropriate strategies, programs, and campaigns that would greatly help improve the awareness and knowledge of citizens about the correct and safe way to react in such situations.                  Keywords:    disasters,    nuclear        accidents,        society,    resilience.                                                   Introduction It is almost paradoxical that there is a positive correlation between social development and risk exposure (Beck, 2016).

In order to understand nature and its inherent processes, including var- ious natural hazards, the reasons for their origin were often attributed to God’s will, suffering for sin and the similar. Fear of material and human losses prompt- ed a man to pray and offer sacrifices/gifts and other rituals to appease the “wrath of the gods”. The progress of civilization and technology has not alleviated the destruction and trauma that natural disasters inflict on all aspects of social life. A major obstacle to this is the exponential population growth in vulnerable ar- eas. The frequency of natural disasters and the fatalistic attitudes that limit the effective fight against them have motivated religious communities and individ- uals to cooperate with international and international organizations and insti- tutions to reduce the risk of local disasters. Believers thus receive the necessary psychological and financial assistance and support from religious communities during all phases of disaster management. Therefore, the subject of this paper is a comprehensive examination relationship between the degree of religiosity of the population and how this connection impacts […]

Cvetković2 · Saša Milojević1 · Zvonimir Ivanović1 Accepted: 23 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited 2021 Abstract In the last few years, under the influence of various circumstances, the demand for the private security industry has increased in Serbia. The aim of this research is to examine the extent and quality of cooperation between members of the public and private security sector as the mutual perception of its members because their rela- tions are important for establishing a safe environment for citizens. The survey was conducted from February to June 2019 using a questionnaire among 190 police officers and 178 security personnel. The results of this research showed that mutual relations between the private security personnel and police officers are satisfactory, but also that members of private security look at these relations from a brighter side and have a very positive attitude towards members of the police, while members of the police view these relations more negatively. The results of this research can be used for planning campaigns to improve the relationships between police officers and security personnel.

PRIVATE SECURITY PREPAREDNESS FOR DISASTERS CAUSED BY FIRES 1Vladimir Cvetković, 2Slavica Pavlović, 3Bojan D. Janković1 1University of Belgrade, Faculty of Security Studies, Belgrade, Serbia 2Scientific-Professional Society for Disaster Risk Management, Belgrade, Serbia 3University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: The subject of the research was the examination of the factors of in- fluence on the preparedness of the private security for disasters caused by fire. In addition to determining the preparedness index, there are deeper insights into the interrelationships between various selected variables and the level of preparedness of members of the private security. Using the random sampling method, 300 adult members of the private security were selected, and they participated in the research. The results of the research indicate that members of private security were not sufficiently prepared to react to fires. The research results could be used as a starting point for conducting further research in this area since the improvement in training of security personnel plays an impor- tant role in disaster control and prevention, thereby producing safer and more secure work environment and society. Keywords: security, factors of influence, members, private security, fires. INTRODUCTION Any deviation from the regular course of life has a negative impact on the eco- nomic, cultural, political, and social capital of a community and requires an adequate response in the form of spe- cial protection measures by persons specially trained to deal with disasters (Al-ramlawi et al., 2020; Busch & Giv- ens, 2013; Kaur, 2020; Menković et al., 2018). Appropriate implementation of special protection measures is especially emphasized in fires because they occur more often than other disasters (Cvet- ković, 2016a; Cvetković, 2016b; Dwyer et al., 2000; Marshall et al., […]

PREDICTION MODEL OF EFFECTIVE STUDIES AT THE ACADEMY OF CRIMINALISTIC AND POLICE STUDIES1 Sasa Milojevic2 Bojan Jankovic3 Vladimir Cvetkovic4 Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade Summary: The paper deals with the connection between the input characteristics of students of the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies in Belgrade related to the acquired and inherited values and effective studying. Data collection was performed using the questionnaire technique on a sample of 120 students and the logic regression method. The questionnaire comprised 11 closed questions, 10 relating to predictor variables (gender, high school, success in high school, place in which it was finished, going in for sport, respondent’s family and financial situation, whether a member of the family is employed by the Ministry of Interior and the course of studies), and one relating to the criterion variable (studying without repeating years). The results of logic regression showed that the overall model explains between 40.4% and 55.7% of variance in the status of effective studying, and it correctly classified 83.6% of cases. Only five predictor variables provided a unique statistically significant contribution to the model. The paper proved that if a student had a specific set of inherited and acquired characteristics, probability that he/she would study effectively is significantly   This paper is the result of the research on project: “Management of police organization in preventing and mitigating threats to security in the Republic of Serbia“, which is financed and carried out by the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade – the cycle of scientific projects 2015-2019.

The authors used a method of survey- ing students to identify and describe the factors that influence student knowledge and perceptions about earth- quakes. For the purpose of this research, a sample of 3,063 students was drawn from the total population of secondary school students in Belgrade (65,561 students), which equates to 4.67% of the population. The results show that the sources of information on natural disasters and their threatening consequences influ- ence the perceptions of secondary school students. In view of the evident lack of education about natural dis- asters in Serbia, the results of this study can be used when creating a strategy for educational programs. This research is the first step in developing and realizing a future strategy for natural disaster management by informing and including public (school population), scientific, and administrative communities in the process.

First International Conference on Environmental Safety and Health at Work, Proceedings, Zrenjanin, 16. November, 2017. GLOBALNI RIZICI PO ZDRAVLJE I ODGOVOR ZDRAVSTVENOG SISTEMA U VANREDNIM SITUACIJAMA GLOBAL HEALTH RISKS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEM RESPONSE IN EMERGENCIES Prof. dr Slađana Jović Babić, Prof.dr Jasmina Gačić, Prof. dr Maja Nikolić, Doc. dr Vladimir Cvetković, Danica Rašeta, Fakultet bezbednosti,Univerzitet u Beogradu ABSTRACT The area of study, research and practice that emphasizes the importance of improving health and achieving equity in health care for the entire human population is defined, in modern terms, as ‘’global health’’. For the most part, this term replaced the one previously used – ‘’international health’’ and focuses on worldwide health improvement, reduction of disparities in access to healthcare and protection in the face of global threats that show no regard to national borders. When it comes to planning, leading and coordinating global health initiatives in response to these threats, the World Health Organization (WHO) is the most important international body. Other agencies that stand out are UNICEF, World Food Programme and the World Bank. Public health security encompasses the activities required, both proactive and reactive, to minimize vulnerability to acute public health events that put the collective health of world populations at risk, and lack of global health security has a negative impact on all aspects of society.New global health threats in the 21st century are pandemicsof infectious diseases, bioterrorism, biological and chemical weapons, foodborne diseases, natural disasters and chemical or radio nuclear events, as well as the health consequences of wars, conflicts, climate change and migrations during last decade. When it comes to emergency situations, they often foster the development of epidemics or pandemicsof infectious diseases as […]

A mixed-methods approach involving sur- veys and interviews was employed to gather data from students in educational institutions across Montenegro and North Macedonia. The study assessed various factors, including students’ awareness of environmental issues, their perceived level of knowledge, and their attitudes towards safety measures. A comprehensive series of 400 face-to-face interviews was carried out, and these inter- views encompassed 200 students from Montenegro and an equal number from North Macedonia, taking place at two esteemed academic institutions: The University of Montenegro in Podgorica and The University of St. Clement of Ohrid, Bitola, Republic of North Macedonia.

On a global level efforts are being made towards making the Communities resilient on Natural Hazards and Catastrophes that arises from them. This is most due of the fact that the Political borders between states are absolutely irrelevant for the Geography and the Natural processes that happens on Earth. One of the most challenging processes that the Human race is facing is the Climate change issue. Also, the level of drinking water, and most of all, the Water management which is being divvied between two or more states is one of the most common mentioned argument towards the understanding of the Environmental Security Doctrine. Thus, meaning that the access to drinking water especially as a result of water management of another country could be a reason even for war. That is why this paper tries to answer some of the questions that arises from the fostered international waterway management between three Countries – Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Montenegro (MNE) and Serbia (SRB), through the West Balkans Drina River Basin Management (WBDRBM) actions. These countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Montenegro (MNE) and […]

Cvetković123, Stefan Rikanović2, Snežana Knežević4  1* University of Belgrade, Faculty of Security Studies, Serbia 2 Scientific-Professional Society for Disaster Risk Management, Belgrade, Serbia 3International Institute for Disaster Research, Belgrade, Serbia 4 University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organizational Sciences, Belgrade, Serbia   *Corresponding Author:  vmc@fb.bg.ac.rs     Abstract   Keeping in mind that Serbia does not have a nuclear power plant and that there are justified reasons to introduce nuclear energy, it is necessary to examine citizens’ level of information and preparedness for such disasters, i.e. the possibility of coping with a specific nuclear accident. Also, several nuclear power plants are in operation near Serbia, so caution and sufficient knowledge should be kept in mind and prevention measures would be implemented in this type of disaster. The research subject is the study of risk perception and preparedness for potential nuclear accidents. The research was conducted on the territory of Belgrade using multi-stage random sampling with 256 respondents. The research results indicate a severe need to inform and educate citizens about risk management in disasters caused by nuclear accidents in Serbia, bearing in mind that the results showed that preparedness is not at a significant level. Based on the research results, preconditions are created to create appropriate strategies, programs, and campaigns that would greatly help improve the awareness and knowledge of citizens about the correct and safe way to react in such situations.   Keywords: disasters, nuclear accidents, society, resilience.   Introduction   It is almost paradoxical that there is a positive correlation between social development and risk exposure (Beck, 2016).

Depending on the type of disease and the development of the collective immunity that society had acquired by then, the consequences of epidemics were usually very severe. Precisely because of this, the aim of the paper is a scientific description of the way in which the prescribed preventive measures should be applied from the epidemiological, security, economic, legal and other aspects, so that the society, through the mechanisms of the state, can defend and rehabilitate the consequences of an epidemic of an infectious disease. Eliminating the epidemic’s impacts is a very difficult issue. In particular, there is an infectious illness epidemic that is spreading uncontrolled throughout society on the one hand. In order to introduce a quarantine that restricts the epidemic’s progress and, if the quarantine lasts long enough, to end the epidemic, contact between members of the social group must be broken. On the other side, the cessation of communication between members of a social group also signifies the cessation of all facets of life in that society, including economic ties, education, growth of culture, scientific research, etc. Keywords: disasters, emergencies, management, epidemics, reducing.

Vulnerability of Critical Infrastructure to Natural Disasters

Mijalković, S., Cvetković, V. (2013). Vulnerability of Critical Infrastructure by Natural Disasters. Belgrade, National Critical Infrastructure Protection, Regional Perspective, 2013, 91-102, ISBN 978-86-84069-84-1, UDC 726.9:75.041.5 ID 176374796. Saša Mijalković The Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade, sasa.mijalkovic@kpa.edu.rs Vladimir Cvetković The Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade, vladimir.cvetkovic@kpa.edu.rs  Abstract: Natural disasters increasingly threaten the safety of the mankind. Not only that, in past decades there has been an obvious increase in the number of natural disasters, but it is also present an increase in their destructiveness. This results in a higher loss of life, material and non-material damage. In addition, compromising critical infrastructure prevents or limits the implementation of vital state functions (governance, health, education, energy, economic, social, and general security functions), which is further reflected in the safety of states and citizens. Despite the technological development of mankind, societies are increasingly threatened. It is clear that the disasters and their impact on people and critical infrastructure cannot be prevented, but mechanisms for prediction and early warning of disasters can be improved that the resilience and capacity for faster and more efficient revitalization of endangered values ​​and goods can be increased. Besides the degree of destruction, the response strategy in an emergency situation will depend on the type of disaster, but also on the kind of critical infrastructure and specific goods and values ​​that are threatened. In this regard, the paper gives an overview of the scope and the content of (still undetermined) concept of critical infrastructure, the term and the phenomenology of natural disasters, the consequences of geophysical, hydrological and meteorological disasters on critical infrastructure and critical infrastructure protection capabilities against natural disasters. Keywords: safety, critical infrastructure, natural disasters, the consequences of threats to critical infrastructure by natural disasters, protection of critical infrastructure from natural disasters.  1 INTRODUCTION […]

Paper presented at the Eighth International Scientific Conference “Archibald Reiss Days” October 2–3, 2018, Academy of Criminalistics and Police Studies, Belgrade. Vladimir M. Cvetković, Ph.D. Marina Filipović, Ph.D. candidate Faculty of Security Studies, University of Belgrade, Gospodara Vucica 50, 11040 Belgrade, Serbia Slavoljub Dragićević, Ph.D. Ivan Novković, Ph.D. Faculty of Geography, University of Belgrade, Studentski Trg 3/III, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia   Abstract: Recently, the role of social networks in the disaster risk management process has become significantly important. This is largely due to a huge number of smartphones with installed applications (facebook, twitter, software) that allow their users to share information in the form of text, images and video. By analyzing and describing the multiple possibilities and significance of social networks in various stages of disaster risk management (before, during and after), the authors conducted a research of quantitative research tradition with the aim of examining the attitudes of the students of the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies and the Faculty of Security Studies University of Belgrade in terms of possibilities, reliability and motivation for the use of social networks in such situations. The obtained research results show a high degree of motivation of respondents for the use of social networks in situations immediately before, but also during and after the manifested consequences of disasters. Emphasizing the undeniable advantages of using social networks in disaster risk management, as well as the results of the research, decision makers could create certain programs to improve citizen security and reduce disaster risks by using  information platforms of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.   Key words: disasters, social networks, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, attitudes.   INTRODUCTION The significance of social networks in reducing disaster […]
