| Summary: | This paper describes the results of a survey about community perceptions toward
hazard of fire and participation in prevention of fire disaster. The study was
conducted among communities of Kampung Kawang, Papar, and Kampung Likas at
Kota Kinabalu. The result of the study shows that there was awareness of likely fire
hazard which would threaten their personal safety though they believe it was unlikely
to occur in one's life among the subject. The likely of hazard of fie was also being
underestimated and misunderstood by the subject. The study supports the notion that
the public frequently have a low personal interest in risk but a high expectation of
government responsibility and others people support in the case of disaster.. |
