North Morocco (region Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima) is characterized by high demographic and economic pressures, which intensify the vulnerability of the coastal areas. Morocco lies both along the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coast, having a rich relief of mountain chains (Atlas and Rif). This diverse context induces the challenge of adapting to environments that are drastically different, and of answering the question to which extent the local population is aware of different natural risks. Risk awareness is addressed as a predictor of precautionary behaviour in a questionnaire-based survey. Here the variables explaining the readiness of inhabitants to protect themselves and their belongings from natural risks in the present and the willingness to invest and to protect in the future are explored. Furthermore, based on the different response patterns in the survey, we used multiple correspondence analysis to identify profiles of typical dwellers. The results indicate local regional differences, where the Rif Mountain dwellers are more prone to protect themselves than the ones living in other parts of North Morocco. Finally, environmental identity indicates that the relationship with nature has an impact on risk awareness and precautionary behaviour. This study brings out information which could be useful for policy makers who should promote ecological concerns and encourage local action in resolving environmental issues when promoting risk mitigation measures.

摩洛哥北部（丹吉尔-得土安-阿尔霍塞马地区）的人口和经济压力很高，加剧了沿海地区的脆弱性。摩洛哥位于大西洋和地中海沿岸，拥有丰富的山脉（阿特拉斯和里夫）。这种多样化的环境带来了以下挑战：适应截然不同的环境，并回答这个问题，当地居民在多大程度上意识到了不同的自然风险。在基于问卷的调查中，风险意识被视为预防行为的预测指标。在这里，探讨了变量，这些变量解释了居民在当前的状况下愿意保护自己及其财产免受自然风险的准备程度，以及将来投资和保护的意愿。此外，根据调查中不同的回应模式，我们使用了多种对应分析来识别典型居民的个人资料。结果表明当地存在差异，与居住在北摩洛哥其他地区的居民相比，里夫山居民更容易保护自己。最后，环境特性表明与自然的关系对风险意识和预防行为有影响。这项研究提出了一些信息，这些信息可能对决策者有用，他们在提倡降低风险的措施时应提倡生态问题并鼓励当地采取行动解决环境问题。在里夫山地区的居民比在北摩洛哥其他地区的居民更容易保护自己。最后，环境特性表明与自然的关系对风险意识和预防行为有影响。这项研究提出了一些信息，这些信息可能对决策者有用，他们在提倡降低风险的措施时应提倡生态问题并鼓励当地采取行动解决环境问题。在里夫山地区的居民比在北摩洛哥其他地区的居民更容易保护自己。最后，环境特性表明与自然的关系对风险意识和预防行为有影响。这项研究提出了一些信息，这些信息可能对决策者有用，他们在提倡降低风险的措施时应提倡生态问题并鼓励当地采取行动解决环境问题。
