Abstract

This study aims to assess the levels of knowledge, attitude, and preparedness related to disaster mitigation and to analyze their influence on community readiness for landslides. A total of 180 residents of Lamkleng Village were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed significant positive effects of knowledge (B = 0.273, p = 0.000), attitude (B = 0.320, p = 0.001), and preparedness (B = 0.256, p = 0.001) on disaster mitigation. The regression model explained 50.7% of the variance in mitigation outcomes (Adjusted R² = 0.507). These findings suggest that behavioral factors are critical to improving disaster resilience and should be prioritized in community-based disaster risk reduction programs.
