Abstract

Most cities in the world grapple with natural disasters and Natural hazards are as a major challenge for achieving sustainable development of human societies. The evidence also shows that the threat of natural disasters has been expanding in global scale. Iran due to its Geographical position in the Alpine-the Himalayas orogenic belt has a changeable and unstable climate and is faced with natural disasters; especially earthquakes has been experienced in more cities of Iran. Since natural disasters compared to man-made crises, produces larger damage and more losses and they are less predictable. So, it is very important that citizens have enough Preparation for confronting with this hazard. in this approach, the most essential measures are applying the principles cycle of crisis management, including risk analysis, disaster prevention, preparation for emergency aid and reconstruction after hazard. In this cycle, the preparation is done before the disaster and is consists of a set of crisis management abilities. On the other hand, as regard between the natural disasters, the earthquake has greater surprise and if there wouldn’ t had the preparation against it this issues can be terminated to human tragedy. Preparation against natural disasters could be studied in many aspects, which one of the most important aspects is mental preparation. Mental preparation is one of the most important steps in the cycle of crisis management Which contains measures that will be done before the disaster and crisis situations. In this regard, the risk of earthquake in kerman city in Iran, is assessed very high. because of geographic position of this city, there are several active faults around it and previously several historical destructive earthquakes have been taken place in this region and tectonic and geological evidences confirm this natural risk. So, in this regard, the main question is how are mental preparation of kerman households against earthquake risk in each of the four neighborhood of this city? in this study have been examined the level of mental preparation in the four distinct regions of kerman city and its relationship with economic-Social statue of household Methodology According to the research data and assumptions, in this article has been used from analytical – explanation approaches. For collecting requirement date has been used from library documentation and Fieldwork questioner. In the librarian studies have been collected descriptive data from valid books, papers and statistical yearbooks and in the fieldwork, data collection and sampling have been carried out by using a questionnaire. The studied population is consisting of 141, 867 households headed of kerman city. According to Cochran's formula, 350 households headed among them, would be elected as sample size by Cluster sampling. In this regard, proportional to the population size of each region, questionnaires were distributed among them. In the questionnaire, mentally preparation components became operational in the five-point Likert Spectrum items. Data analysis in SPSS software was performed by using one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation Test. Discussion The dependent variable in this study is mental preparation headed households in four distinct neighborhoods in kerman and with rely on questionnaire. The concept preparation were measured by three component and indicators are inclusive awareness, knowledge, attitudes. Based on the findings of the questionnaire, average of mental preparation in the kerman city is 55/54. Peak mental preparation area with 88/60 percent is related to 1 neighborhood(quarter) of kerman city and the lowest level of mental preparation with 78/43 percent is related to 4 neighborhood(quarter). This value is higher than the average for households in 1 neighborhood and 2 respectively are 88/60 and 10/58; And for families with four and three wide areas, lower than the overall mean and respectively are 96/54 and 78/43. It can be said that the downward trend in the mental preparation respectively can be seen from 1, 2 neighborhoods to 3, 4. The results of variance analysis show that there is a meaningful difference in the four-city neighborhood about mental preparation. In The second hypothesis results of Pearson correlation test shows as regards The meaningful of the Sig achieved in all indicators of mental preparation is less than 05/0 And as regard Pearson's coefficient obtained ̽ ̽ 483/0 therefore, it can be said there is a significant correlation between the economic-social class(employment status, income, education, property status) of citizens in four distinct neighborhoods in kerman city and mental preparation as well as whatever The Socio-economic was promoted in the same way the level of preparation of household will be increases against earthquake. Conclusion As were said, finding research reveals that mental preparation is significantly different in the four regions(neighborhood) in kerman city. So that, there is a significant correlation Between Socio – economic class of citizens (consisting of: employment status, income, education, property status) and mental preparation against earthquake. So whatever Socio-economic status will improve, the same amount, the level of their mental preparation increase against earthquakes. Discussion The dependent variable in this study is mental preparation headed households in four distinct neighborhoods in kerman and with rely on questionnaire. The concept preparation were measured by three component and indicators are inclusive awareness, knowledge, attitudes. Based on the findings of the questionnaire, average of mental preparation in the kerman city is 55/54. Peak mental preparation area with 88/60 percent is related to 1 neighborhood(quarter) of kerman city and the lowest level of mental preparation with 78/43 percent is related to 4 neighborhood(quarter). This value is higher than the average for households in 1 neighborhood and 2 respectively are 88/60 and 10/58; And for families with four and three wide areas, lower than the overall mean and respectively are 96/54 and 78/43. It can be said that the downward trend in the mental preparation respectively can be seen from 1, 2 neighborhoods to 3, 4. The results of variance analysis show that there is a meaningful difference in the four-city neighborhood about mental preparation. In The second hypothesis results of Pearson correlation test shows as regards The meaningful of the Sig achieved in all indicators of mental preparation is less than 05/0 And as regard Pearson's coefficient obtained ̽ ̽ 483/0
