Key research objectives include determining the present levels of engagement in bushfire preparation, the present levels of engagement with VGI technologies and social media, and assessing the potential role for VGI to play in building bushfire resilience through community engagement. Through surveys, questionnaires and interviews I aim to gain insight into the following research questions:
- What proportion of people currently engages in bushfire preparation?
- What proportion of people currently feels empowered about their own bushfire management?
- How do people currently engage with their community?
- How many people use social media (or other VGI sources) in the community? What tools in particular, and what for?
- How many people use or would use social media/VGI in relation to bushfire events, and in what ways?
- Is VGI considered a reliable source for bushfire management?
- How useful are VGI technologies and social media considered to be for bushfire preparation?
