Abstract

This article identifies specific social characteristics in two wildland urban interface communities that may have significant impacts on the ability of those communities to adapt to wildfire. Researchers used a mixed-methods approach to triangulate results to identify potential views and motives surrounding three important behaviors and values related to crafting potential strategies to mitigate wildfire risk. The analysis of quantitative data in the form of responses to Likert-type questions and qualitative data in the form of responses to questions asked during focus group sessions yielded a deeper understanding of the way the terms independence and trust are conceptualized from one community to another. Understanding what these concepts mean in the context of a given community is essential to understanding how to move forward with strategies to reduce risk and eliminate potential barriers to doing so.

社区差异的“附加条件”和荒地城市界面中火灾适应性的潜在途径

摘要

本文确定了两个荒野城市交界社区的特定社会特征，这些特征可能会对这些社区适应野火的能力产生重大影响。研究人员使用混合方法对结果进行三角剖分，以识别与制定与减轻野火风险的潜在策略相关的三个重要行为和价值的潜在观点和动机。在焦点小组会议期间，以对李克特型问题的回答形式的定量数据和以对问题的回答形式的定性数据的分析，使人们对从一个社区到另一个社区概念化独立和信任的方式有了更深入的了解。
