A 2022 household survey about impacts and human response to climate-related multi-hazards in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Whitehorse

Little is known about how multi-hazard environments affect people, especially those living in urban areas in northern latitudes. This study surveyed homeowners in both Anchorage and Fairbanks, USA, Alaska’s two larger urban centers, to measure individual risk perceptions, mitigation response, and damages related to wildfire, ice hazards, and permafrost thaw. A geospatial hazard assessment informed the survey’s stratified sampling design. The survey had 751 respondents.当前学界对多灾害环境如何影响人类群体，尤其是高纬度城市地区居民的相关研究仍较为匮乏。本研究针对美国阿拉斯加州两大核心城市——安克雷奇与费尔班克斯的房主开展问卷调查，旨在量化个体对野火、冰灾及多年冻土融化（permafrost thaw）相关风险的感知水平、减灾应对举措与灾害损失情况。本研究通过地理空间灾害评估，确定了本次问卷调查的分层抽样方案。本次调查共计751名受访者参与。
