論文摘要 火的使用良窳在於人的正確行為，在眾多文獻中指出，風險知覺影響人的防災 行為，故本研究即以成人民眾的火災風險知覺作為研究主題。由於期望本研究有較 高的參考價值，故以人口最多、幅員遼闊、城鄉特性多元的臺北縣為研究區域，訪 問居住在臺北縣的民眾。 為了瞭解成人火災風險知覺真實情形，本研究將火災風險知覺分為「不確定性 風險知覺」與「結果嚴重性風險知覺」兩類，透過統計分析瞭解各構面之間的關係。 在人口統計變項中除性別、年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀況、居住地區、工作身分及家 庭月收入構面外，並加上住屋背景因素，研究人口統計變項與住屋背景分別對火災 風險知覺的影響。 本研究以問卷訪談方式進行，先依照臺北縣各鄉鎮市20-59 歲人口比例做分層 比例抽樣，然後在各鄉鎮市重要道路、捷運或大賣場出口進行施測，共蒐集721 份 問卷，其中有效問卷達651 份。人口統計變項及住屋背景與火災風險知覺的關係統 計分析結果如下： 一、民眾性別、年齡、婚姻狀況不同對火災風險知覺在「不確定性知覺」與「結果 嚴重性知覺」的反應均有顯著差異。 二、住宅用途、住宅結構、住宅權屬的不同只在「結果嚴重性知覺」上有顯著的差 異；屋齡則僅對「不確定性知覺」具有顯著的差異。

ABSTRACT The advantages and disadvantages of fire use consist in people’s behaviors. As revealed in many documents, risk perception influences people’s disaster prevention actions. The research topic aims at the influence of risk perception on adults. In orderto obtain good achievement, the research subjects are limited to the residents in Taipei County where the population is big, the region is wide and urban and rural discrepancy is obvious. For easy understanding of the influence of fire risk perception, the researcher divided perceived fire risks into “perceived uncertain risks” and “perceived severe risks.” The relationship between each dimension will be interpreted by means of statistical analysis. The variables of demographic statistics include not only the dimensions of gender, age, education level, marriage, residential area, occupation, and family income, but also the factors of residence backgrounds. The research focused on how the variables of demographic statistics and residence backgrounds affect fire risk perception, respectively. The researcher is performed by questionnaires and interviews. According to the proportion of the population aged from 20 to 59 in Taipei County, the questionnaire sampling was undertaken in major streets and roads, at MRT station exits and hypermarket exits in Taipei County. Of the 721 questionnaires performed, 651 were valid. The statistical analysis of the relationship between perceived fire risks, the variables of demographic statistics and residence backgrounds was classified into the following two conclusions. I. Gender, age and marriage have significant difference on “perception of uncertainty” and “perception of severe consequences”. II. Residence purposes, residence structures and residence ownership make differences in “perception of severe consequences,” residence types make differences in “perception of uncertainty” and “perception of severe consequences,” and house age makes differences in “uncertain perception.”
