This paper investigates the impact of a community disaster awareness training on subjective disaster preparedness, focusing on the case of a Republic of Korean aid-supported disaster risk reduction project in the Ayeyarwaddy region of Myanmar. A subsequent survey by the authors of a total of 182 households, an equal number of project participating and control households, produced encouraging results regarding the endeavour. Although both ordinal logistic regression and ordinary least squares models support overall robust effectiveness of participating in the project, the results also reveal different effects of specific activities. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) awareness meetings and trainings, and personal visits to share knowledge and/or to distribute informative flyers, are important. In contrast, the significance of drills or community activities, in mass, is lost in a combined model. Consequently, ‘personalising risk’ should be prioritised in any DRR undertaking, as well as, and in particular, development cooperation aimed at increasing confidence in disaster preparedness.

调查社区灾害意识培训对主观备灾的影响：以缅甸伊洛瓦底地区为例

本文调查了社区灾害意识培训对主观备灾的影响，重点关注韩国援助支持的缅甸伊洛瓦底地区灾害风险减少项目的案例。作者随后对总共 182 个家庭（项目参与家庭和控制家庭的数量相同）进行了调查，结果取得了令人鼓舞的结果。尽管序数逻辑回归和普通最小二乘模型都支持参与项目的整体稳健有效性，但结果也揭示了特定活动的不同影响。减少灾害风险 (DRR) 意识会议和培训以及个人访问以分享知识和/或分发信息传单非常重要。相比之下，大规模演习或社区活动的重要性在组合模型中就消失了。因此，在任何减灾行动中，尤其是旨在增强备灾信心的发展合作中，都应优先考虑“个性化风险”。
