摘要
A questionnaire survey of 702 people in Beijing was conducted in order to investigate the change of the disaster cognition of the public and their views on risk communication after the 2008,Wenchuan,Sichuan,Ms8.0 earthquake.Through score calculation and correlation analysis,we got the following conclusions.Firstly,respondents paid high attention to Wenchuan Earthquake,and the media they mainly depended on were TV and internet.Secondly,the respondents’ knowledge of disaster emergency and disaster prevention was limited and it did not improved after the Earthquake.On the other hand,their disaster-prevention awareness and behavior tendency were improved.Thirdly,the individual characteristics of respondents such as education level,gender,and experience of disaster would have effect on their cognition of natural disasters.Based on the survey,we propose the suggestion of risk communication.On one hand,the official media,as the trustful and important information source of the public,should report something that could make the public recognize the importance to construct the system of the understandings and the skills of the disaster-prevention.On the other hand,according to the respondents’ suggestion,the government should enhance publicity of the severe disasters frequently-occurred in Beijing,such as the sandstorm,the snowstorm,and the floods.
