Abstract

Long-term behavior changes are essential for mitigating the increasing risks of landslide disasters in mountainous regions. However, existing research predominantly emphasizes direct response to specific events, often neglecting the potential for behavioral spillover that contributes to long-term outcomes. This study aims to explore the mechanisms by which a single protective behavior can evolve into sustained practices that enhance resilience and sustainability over time. Integrating protection motivation theory and behavioral spillover frameworks, we analyzed survey data from 360 households using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal: (1) Self-protective behaviors (e.g., preparing emergency supplies, participating in drills) significantly enhance sustainable land use intentions (path coefficient = 0.232, p
