Outline of Research at the Start

This study compares citizens’ understanding of earthquake disaster risks and preparedness in Japan and Italy. Data generation is based interviews, surveys, as well as secondary data from research institutes, universities, and public offices in Italy and Japan. To better understand the cultural aspects of disasters, libraries and museums in both countries will also be consulted. Results will be disseminated through two international conferences, two publications (intl. journal), and meetings with national representatives in Italy and Japan.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Conducted data collection and analysis in Italian and Japanese high schools to identify attitudes and differences in risk. Established new contacts at universities in Japan and Europe.
2) Results entire research period: developed a method to analyze and compare disaster preparedness applicable to different cultures (Italy-Japan). Results highlighted the importance of culture and personal disposition in motivation and desire to engage in disaster preparedness. Results were shared with stakeholders (academic and policy) to inform further research and actions.
