Abstract

Rapid urban development and increasing climate-related challenges underscore the need for effective urban disaster mitigation strategies. This study, conducted in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, uses a Structural Equation Model to assess how satisfaction with urban disaster prevention planning influences residents’ intentions to stay there. We found that satisfaction with sustainable urban disaster prevention increases residents’ willingness to remain and acts as a key mediator between satisfaction with public facilities and residential intentions. The methodology provides practical insights for urban planners and policymakers, highlighting that improving public facilities and effective disaster planning significantly strengthens residents’ attachment to urban environments. These findings suggest a pragmatic way to enhance urban sustainability and resilience by incorporating disaster preparedness into urban development plans.
