Abstract

|
|
This study aims to find the perception and utilization of the citizen about the dryness watch warning (DWW) among
special weather reports. For this we have made up a descriptive questionnaire including the perception, utilization of
special weather reports. Using the SPSS 17.0 program, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe test were used
to analyze the collected data.
The results are as follows; The perception of DWW is measured by 4 point Likert scale and the average is
15.97±3.70 (percentile=57.0). This value shows that the awareness level is not that high and according to the
occupation, college students show the lowest awareness and housewives show the highest awareness. According to the
age, the teens and twenties show the lowest awareness and fifties and sixties show the highest awareness. Although the
perception of the teens and college students are rather poor, there were many positive answers that it is necessary to
establish the advanced disaster prevention plan according to the questionnaire about the utilization of DWW.
Therefore, if we come up with an effective plan to improve the perception than we can expect a large-effect in terms
of fire and forest fire prevention.
The perception of DWW can be improved by providing weather information and weather related education program
on TV or internet which have the high level of preference. Also, it is necessary to provide online and offline program
of advertising education and disaster management education through the weather forecast bureau which is the host
organization of delivering weather information.
