要約(英語): Knowledge is an important indicator in an effective landslide mitigation strategy. Knowledge has to be acquired by people living in high risk areas for landslide occurrence such that they will be able to identify early signs of landslides. The students of USM communities living along the slope area are the focus of this study. The result supports the alternative hypotheses stated in the study. Knowledge has improved with the intervention which affects positively the willingness to practice along with right attitude among students. Willingness to practice outscored the attitude and knowledge acquired by students after the intervention where 40% of the students strongly agreed to report any early warning signs encountered before landslide strikes. Also, male students portrayed positive changes in attitude as compared to female who showed none. Those who were “strongly disagreed’ or ‘disagreed’ prior to intervention has changed their notion towards either ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’. This shows that the intervention facilitates support for collaborative effort with tools such as the eparticipatory platform and enables them to interact with its environment.
