Research question
Which risk perceptions are associated with household migration intentions?
Method and context
Cross-sectional convenience survey of 345 respondents across 21 residential areas, May–July 2024; PLS-SEM combines two behavioural theories.
Study summary
The study links perceived threats and coping beliefs to stated intentions. It examines willingness to move, not subsequent relocation or the effectiveness of evacuation policies.
Findings
Perceived severity (β=0.259) and response efficacy (β=0.172) have significant positive associations; vulnerability, self-efficacy and response-cost paths are unsupported.
Contribution
Distinguishes threat severity from perceived susceptibility in relocation discussions.
Interpretation limits
Authors flag regional scope, self-reporting and cross-sectional limits; our appraisal also notes convenience sampling and unobserved behaviour.
A question for further research
Project proposal: compare stated preferences with voluntary follow-up evidence of relocation barriers.
A starting point for a study design: extend the literature search, specify methods and outcomes, and assess ethics requirements for the data and participants.

Project-proposed critical-appraisal evidence, not research findings or accreditation criteria from the original authors.
- K
- Explain the question, concepts and findings with locators in the original.
- S
- Compare methods, variables and limitations with another study before designing a test or CPX.
- E
- Separate reported results from your proposals, cite originals and examine implications for vulnerable groups.
- C
- Record responses to critique and revisions after new evidence. Observe behaviour repeatedly, not from a single reading.
