Mitigation policy is regarded as an effective strategy to achieve the purpose of building health resilience and reducing disaster risk with the current high frequency of environmental event occurrences. To enhance public acceptance of mitigation policy, the issue of decision-making behavior has been a concern of researchers and planners. In the past literature, qualitative measures employed to reveal the behavioral intention of hazard risk mitigation cause restricted outcomes due to the problem of sample representativeness and the fact that quantitative research is restricted to discuss the linear relationship between the two selected variables. The purpose of this article is to attempt to construct a Mitigation Policy Acceptance Model (MPAM) to analyze the behavioral intention of seismic risk mitigation strategies. Based on Dual Processing Theory, affective is conducted as the core variable for constructing two types of thinking processes, and the variables of risk perception, trust and responsibility are selected in MPAM from theories and past research. In this study, the mitigation policy of residential seismic strengthening, adapted in Yongkang District of Tainan, has been conducted as the case study. According to the results, the result of model fit test has confirmed the MPAM framework, and two thinking modes could be associated together when people face a risky decision-making process. The variable of affective is the most effective factor to influence each variable, and a direct effect on intention is also shown in this model. The results could provide suggestions in communication risk strategies for the government.
缓解政策被认为是实现建设健康弹性和减少灾害风险目的的有效策略，因为当前环境事件的发生频率很高。为了增强公众对缓解政策的接受程度，决策行为问题一直是研究人员和规划者关注的焦点。在过去的文献中，定性措施被用来揭示危险缓解的行为意图，但由于样本代表性的问题以及定量研究仅限于讨论两个选定变量之间的线性关系，因此限制了结果。本文旨在尝试构建一个缓解政策接受模型（MPAM）来分析地震风险缓解策略的行为意图。基于双重处理理论，情感被作为构建两种思维过程的核心变量，并且风险感知、信任和责任等变量是从理论和过去的研究中选择的。在这项研究中，以台南市永康区的住宅抗震加固缓解政策为案例研究。根据结果，模型拟合测试的结果证实了 MPAM 框架，并且当人们面对风险决策过程时，两种思维模式可以联系在一起。情感变量是影响每个变量的最有效因素，并且在这个模型中也显示了对意图的直接影响。研究结果可为政府的风险沟通策略提供建议。
