      adaptation behavior in Yunlin County, Taiwan.

AB  - Issues that are associated with climate change have global importance. Most 
      related studies take a national or regional perspective on the impact of climate 
      change. Taiwan is constrained by its geographical conditions, which increase its 
      vulnerability to climate change, especially in its western coastal areas. The 
      county that is most affected by climate change is Yunlin. In 2013-2014, projects 
      that were sponsored by Taiwan's government analyzed the relationship among 
      synthesized vulnerability, ecological footprint (EF) and adaptation to climate 
      change and proposed 15 categories of synthesized vulnerability and EF values. 
      This study further examines the relationship between vulnerability and EF values 
      and examines how residents of four townships-Linnei, Sihu, Mailiao, and 
      Huwei-cope with the effects of climate change. This study investigates whether 
      the residents of the four townships vary in their attitudes to climate change, 
      their perceptions of disaster risk, and their behavioral intentions with respect 
      to coping with climate change. The structural equation model (SEM) is used to 
      examine the relationships among attitudes to climate change, perceptions of 
      disaster risk, and the behavioral intentions of residents in townships with 
      various vulnerabilities to climate change. The results that are obtained using 
      the SEM reveal that climate change mitigation/adaptation behavior is affected by 
      attitudes to climate change and perceptions of disaster risk. However, the 
      effects of attitudes and perceptions on mitigation and adaptation that are 
      mediated by place attachment are not statistically significant.
