Abstrak
Bencana banjir merupakan satu ancaman alam yang memberi kesan besar kepada masyarakat, terutamanya dari aspek keselamatan, ekonomi dan kesejahteraan sosial. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti peranan sikap, norma subjektif dan kawalan tingkah laku dalam pengurusan banjir dalam kalangan sukarelawan di Selangor, dengan meneliti kesan latihan sebagai pembolehubah pengantara. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui edaran soal selidik kepada 142 sukarelawan, kajian ini menganalisis hubungan antara pembolehubah menggunakan analisis regresi. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kawalan tingkah laku merupakan faktor paling dominan yang mempengaruhi pengurusan banjir, manakala latihan memainkan peranan penting dalam memperkukuh kesediaan dan keberkesanan sukarelawan. Implikasi kajian ini memberi sumbangan ke arah pembangunan model pengurusan banjir yang lebih mampan serta mencadangkan latihan berstruktur dan sokongan sosial yang menyeluruh untuk meningkatkan keupayaan komuniti dalam menghadapi bencana alam.
Abstract
Flood disasters constitute a significant natural hazard that exerts profound impacts on society, particularly in terms of safety, economic stability, and social well-being. This study aims to examine the roles of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in flood management among volunteers in Selangor, with a specific focus on the mediating effect of training. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 142 volunteers, and the relationships among the variables were analysed using regression analysis. The findings reveal that perceived behavioral control is the most dominant factor influencing flood management, while training plays a crucial mediating role in enhancing volunteer preparedness and operational effectiveness. The implications of this study contribute to the development of a more sustainable flood management model and underscore the importance of structured training programmes and comprehensive social support in strengthening community capacity to cope with natural disasters.
