Assessment of mountain village communities' resistance and adaption to natural hazards based on their socio-economic conditions

The study collected secondary data and conducted a questionnaire survey at the targeted mountain communities in Changhua county, Nantou county and Taichung city in central Taiwan and Kaohsiung city and Pingtung county in south Taiwan to explore the residents' perception, avoidance behaviors and adaptation strategies for climate change and natural hazard. In addition, the study evaluated the socio-economic vulnerabilities of these five cities. 23 representative indicators were selected from the definition of vulnerability and adjusted by entropy weight. The difference among these five city and county was compared and the influential indicators is selected by ranking. The data of this dataset are the results of the 108-year science and technology project, “Assessment of mountain village communities’ resistance and adaption to natural hazards based on their socio-economic conditions” of the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute.本研究收集二手数据，并于台湾中部彰化县（Changhua county）、南投县（Nantou county）、台中市（Taichung city）以及台湾南部高雄市（Kaohsiung city）、屏东县（Pingtung county）的指定山地社区开展问卷调查，旨在探究居民对气候变化与自然灾害的认知、规避行为及适应策略。此外，本研究评估了上述五个县市的社会经济脆弱性：研究从脆弱性的定义范畴中选取23项代表性指标，并通过熵权法（entropy weight）进行调整；随后对比了五个县市间的差异，并通过排序筛选出具有影响力的关键指标。 本数据集的数据来源于台湾林业试验所（Taiwan Forestry Research Institute）108年度科技项目"基于社会经济条件之山地社区对自然灾害之抵御与适应能力评估"("Assessment of mountain village communities’ resistance and adaption to natural hazards based on their socio-economic conditions")。
