The Murree region in Pakistan is frequently affected by landslides and causes damages to lands, houses, life lines and even loss of livestock and human life. We have attempted in this paper to compare the landslide risk perception of three selected sites of Murree based on selected indicators. A questionnaire survey was used to collect information from a sample of 200 households in a random manner. A Likert scale technique was used to assess the main indicators (awareness, likelihood, impact and fear) of risk perceptions. Results showed that the index values for the above-mentioned indicators were low for the rural fringe, medium for urban fringe and high for inner city. Results of the values of the overall perceived risk were higher for inner city as compared to urban fringe and rural fringe. The study has important implications for policy makers to arrange trainings and workshops particularly for the residents of rural and urban fringe to raise their awareness and perception levels about landslide risks. The proposed measures will increase their levels of preparedness and mitigation measures in the study area.

评估巴基斯坦穆里丘陵地区家庭对滑坡风险的看法的基于指标的方法

巴基斯坦的穆里地区经常受到山体滑坡的影响,对土地,房屋,生命线造成破坏,甚至造成牲畜和人类生命损失。我们已尝试在本文中根据选定的指标比较三个选定的穆里遗址的滑坡风险感知。问卷调查用于以随机方式从200个家庭的样本中收集信息。利克特量表技术用于评估风险感知的主要指标(意识,可能性,影响和恐惧)。结果表明,上述指标的指标值在农村边缘地区较低,在城市边缘地区中等,而在内部城市则较高。与城市边缘地区和农村边缘地区相比,内城总体感知风险值的结果更高。该研究对决策者安排培训和讲习班具有重要意义,特别是对于农村和城市边缘地区的居民,以提高他们对滑坡风险的认识和认识水平。拟议的措施将提高研究区域的准备和缓解措施水平。
