Disaster management to mitigate or avoid impacts of hazards by reducing vulnerability has been conducted in Mount Merapi since 1969. Vulnerability introduced since 1980s has two main characteristics, such as physical vulnerability (i.e., impacts of hazards) and social vulnerability (i.e., composite characteristics including social, economic and environmental factors). As regulations in Indonesia, i.e. Law of Republic Indonesia No. 24 Year 2007, emphasizes the community involvement in disaster management, individuals or groups of individuals have significant roles in reducing social vulnerability. To promote the community involvement effectively in disaster management, this research hypothesized nine relationships between disaster management programs to assess effects of disaster management programs on the community involvement, such as individuals’ preparedness. Since disaster management programs are not measurable quantitatively, variance-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to test hypothesized causal relationships between the programs. As a result, all nine hypotheses were substantiated. The model revealed that individuals’ preparedness is significantly influenced by emergency logistics and financial aid through self-efficacy, and contingency plans affect reconstruction significantly and successively reconstruction affects rehabilitation.

The Relationship

Using data from a nationally representative sample of American adult males ( N = 2,512), this study examines (a) whether duration of membership in the Boy Scouts of America is associated with adult civic engagement and (b) whether five characteristics of positive youth development (confidence, competence, connection, character, and caring) account for the relationship between duration of Scouting membership and adult civic engagement. The results from structural equation modeling indicate that duration of participation in Scouting is positively associated with four indicators of civic engagement: community involvement, community volunteering, community activism, and environmental activism. Among the five positive characteristics, confidence and competence were found to fully mediate the effects of Scouting on all four types of civic engagement, whereas the other three only to partly mediate the effects.

Abstract Involuntary retirement is known to be associated with long-lasting negative effects on well-being compared to voluntary retirement. However, little is known about complex mechanism connecting the path from social contexts and psychological factors of retirees, especially involuntary retirees to later year well-being. Also, despite the well-known gendered pattern of preretirement employment histories over the life course in general, gender differences in the pathway on well-being after involuntary retirement is still unclear. Drawing on the stress process theory, this study examined gender difference on the pathway linking involuntary retirement (primary stressor) to loneliness through material/physical vulnerability (secondary stressor) and social support/self-efficacy (coping resources). Data are from the 2014 HRS with 2,087 retirees aged 65+. Two-step structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to examine the significance of the specific effects of multiple mediators (material/physical vulnerability, coping resources). For male retirees, involuntary retirement was associated with a higher level of loneliness mediated through physical vulnerability and social-efficacy. For female retirees, involuntary retirement was directly associated with loneliness as well as indirectly associated through 1) material vulnerability connected to low social support, and 2) physical vulnerability related to low social support and low social-efficacy. The different impact of involuntary retirement may be due to differences in work history, previous work quality, and accumulated financial condition across gender. The results suggest important gender specified implications for social policy and practice for involuntary retirees.

Heat Vulnerability

We tested mediation models using structural equation modeling (SEM) to better understand the pathways that lead to negative heat-health outcomes for socially vulnerable households and individuals in Phoenix, AZ. Extreme heat presents a significant risk to public health, and current theories of social vulnerability cannot explain the mechanistic pathways that lead to negative health outcomes. A better understanding of these pathways can be used to target more effective public health interventions. We find that self-reported indoor thermal discomfort was a strong and significant predictor of indoor heat illness outcomes (Std [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]), suggesting that heat risk messaging could encourage the public to trust their personal sense of being too warm. Thermal discomfort (Std [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and self-reported indoor heat illness (Std [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) were only predicted by socioeconomic status (SES); age, gender, and racialized group did not relate to heat illness or thermal discomfort based on our sample. However, specified mediators did not fully explain the relationship between SES and thermal discomfort or heat illness, suggesting that we do not fully understand how social vulnerability manifests as negative heat-health outcomes. In addition, results show that passive cooling techniques, like taking a cold shower, did not have a protective effect on heat-health outcomes, and these passive cooling behaviors were used in greater proportion by socially vulnerable individuals. This study concludes with 11 evidence-based hypotheses about how social vulnerability may produce negative heat-health outcomes.

The Impact

Purpose Athlete brand image management has become a popular topic among sport marketing scholars. This study aims to test the impacts of the attributes of an athlete brand image on fan loyalty. Design/methodology/approach In total, 500 questionnaires were delivered to university students and 472 completed questionnaires were returned. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the psychometric properties of the measures and structural equation modeling was carried out to test the hypotheses. Findings The findings of this study show that three attributes of athlete brand image (e.g. marketable lifestyle, athletic performance and attractive appearance) positively influenced fan loyalty. Research limitations/implications To increase the loyalty of fans, effective marketing strategies could be designed to create positive images of athletes with both athletes’ on-field (e.g. athletic skills, competition style and excellence in sport) and off-field performance (e.g. engagement with fans, community involvement, public relation and charity activities). Originality/value This paper provides valuable insights into the measurement of athlete brand image and fan loyalty and offers a foundation for future research on athlete brand management.

Management Capabilities

The role of the municipality in disaster management is a well-researched topic, but there is an ongoing debate concerning municipal capability in handling disasters. Many researchers have argued that governmental capability is a crucial factor in ensuring effective disaster management. Thus, several studies have measured or analyzed disaster-management capabilities at the local level. However, the relationships between the related indicators have not yet been ascertained. This study addressed this research gap by examining, with a special focus on non-structural aspects, how each indicator is related to governmental capability, as well as by examining other external indicators. We also made recommendations for developing, based on municipal characteristics, the capabilities of local governments. To do this, we employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data obtained from surveys conducted in 106 municipalities in Indonesia. Our findings indicated the existence of complicated relationships between the factors that improve local governmental capabilities and the external factors that influence capabilities. We found that the “budget allocation” factor played a fundamental role in disaster management. This article thus recommends increasing “budget allocation” as a primary way to strengthen local governmental capabilities in this area.

Advanced Analysis

This article compares the effects of factors influencing residents’ perceptions toward tourism development in urban and rural World Heritage Sites (WHSs). This study has been conducted in the rural Lenggong and urban George Town WHSs in Malaysia. Partial least squares–structural equation modeling, using a number of recently developed advanced analysis methods, has been used to assess the proposed measurement and structural models, and to compare the relationships between the two groups. The results of this study reveal significant differences between the effects of economic gain and community involvement on residents’ perceptions in rural and urban contexts. However, the findings do not support differences between the effects of community attachment and environmental attitudes on residents’ perceptions. This study makes a significant theoretical contribution by comparing rural and urban WHS residents in the developing world. Furthermore, this study has a number of practical implications for the local authorities.
