Environmental Hazards in the Chinese Public's Eyes

Abstract

The People's Republic of China suffers each year from various environmental hazards. Although risk perception study has a 40‐year history in Europe and North America, little is known about risk perception in China. Previous studies of risk perception have primarily focused on unnatural hazards, but China has experinced many natural environmental hazards. Therefore, the Chinese public's perceptions of environmental hazard risks must be considered in order to support the IDNDR program. The Chinese public's perceptions of environmental hazards are similar to those of Europeans and North Americans, but different characteristics are observed.
