摘要

Disaster risk reduction is a priority at a global level. For reducing the exposure risk component, mobility and transport system play a relevant role. For these reasons, it is necessary to study mobility under emergency conditions. This paper proposes to increase the knowledge of mobility in evacuation conditions with the support of pilot survey for Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This approach allows analysts to assess behavioral intentions and provides an effective framework for understanding the acceptance choices of users regarding technology. TAM approach was originally based on two classes of variables commonly defined: perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The paper presents the preliminary findings of a pilot survey, conducted during an emergency exercise, following a TAM approach. The hypothesized emergency scenario concerns a laboratory experiment simulating extreme adverse weather conditions and that the municipal emergency plan provides that citizens must reach one of the two safe areas with motorized private modes. The pilot survey collects information that can be used for designing an extended survey in a real context. The framework and obtained results show the possibility to individuate a set of questions related to the TAM approach and their possible aggregation in groups. The findings are useful for analysts and decision makers involved in a risk management process for further analysis.
