英文文献:Is There a Link Between Actual and Perceived Wildfire Danger?-在实际的火灾危险和感知到的火灾危险之间有联系吗?在过去的20年里,美国野火的初始袭击成本显著增加

英文文献摘要:
Over the last 20 years, costs for wildfire initial attack in the U.S. have increased significantly. The increased cost relates to wildfire suppression practices as well as the growing number of wildland urban interface (WUI) homes. Requiring WUI residents to pay an annual tax for their wildfire risk would lower costs to the general taxpayer. Willingness-to-pay (WTP) for wildfire prevention, in relation to both perceived and actual wildfire danger, was the focus of this study. Colorado WUI residents had a high awareness of wildfire risk and were willing to pay over $400 annually to reduce this risk. Respondents beliefs about wildfire frequency were comparable to the original natural wildfire regimes of their areas pre-European settlement.
增加的成本与野火扑灭措施以及越来越多的荒地城市界面(WUI)房屋有关。要求WUI居民每年为他们的野火风险缴税将降低普通纳税人的成本。火灾预防的支付意愿与感知危险和实际危险的关系是本研究的重点。科罗拉多州的居民对野火的风险有很高的意识,他们愿意每年支付400美元来减少这种风险。受访者对火灾发生频率的看法与欧洲人定居前他们地区的原始自然火灾制度相当。
