Structure and Evaluation of Self and Mutual Rescue Capacity of Local Residents in Disaster: An Empirical Study in Jiangsu Province

摘要

Based on the survey conducted in Xuzhou, Suzhou and ，Yangzhou cites of Jiangsu Province, this paper found that the emergency capacity of rural residents needed to be improved, and there was no a relation between economic development and emergency capacity building. For the developed area like Jiangsu Province, the emergency capacity might not be stronger than those less developed areas, and main reason might be the lack of financial constraints. As a policy suggests, it was necessary to build up the financial constraints of emergency management.
