One-dimensional Characteristics of Geological Disaster Prevention Policies and the Citizen's Social Responsibility Failure in China

摘要

Government-led and lack of citizen's social responsibility awareness are main characteristics of the geological disaster prevention and treatments in China. The one-dimensional geological disaster prevention and treatment policy has unintentionally given the government an "unlimited government" role. In turn, the overwhelming position of the unlimited government strangles the public's stakeholder consciousness and turns the public into onedimensional people that lack initiative and creativeness, and depend on the government. And this situation will damage the society's ability to carry out the policy, even lead to the policy's total failure or dampen the effectiveness of the geological disaster prevention and treatment work. Thus the public's stakeholder status must be established at the legislative level to enhance their responsibility awareness. And also with the help of the market mechanism, the effectiveness of the geological disaster prevention and treatment work will be greatly improved.
