摘要:This paper presents findings from a survey (2018) that examined how radio programming supported people in 14 severely affected districts in Nepal following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. Results showed that regular listeners of the programmes knew more and were more likely to take actions than non-listeners. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of regular listeners reported that they now know about specific government suggested techniques for earthquake resistant foundations and nearly half (45%) reported using these techniques. Logistic regression suggested that regular listeners were more likely to mention taking actions than non-listeners. However, concerns around financial support for reconstruction remained a key issue.
