ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to compare and analyze the factors influencing disaster response capabilities of elderly people at home, focusing on their past experience in earthquake situations. The major research findings are as follows: First, elderly people at home with earthquake experience demonstrated a higher anxiety of death, disaster awareness and response capabilities. Second, gender, health status and disaster awareness affected the disaster response capabilities among elderly people at home with earthquake experience, whereas gender, trust in government, and disaster awareness affected the disaster response capabilities of those without. It is confirmed that there is difference in factors affecting disaster response capabilities between those with and without the past experience in earthquake. Based on these findings, practical policy measures are recommended to improve disaster response capabilities of elderly people at home.
