Abstract
This study established a comprehensive evaluation indicator model for the safety culture among residents during COVID-19 and an obstacle degree model for the identification of the major factors affecting the residents’ safety culture. The results show that the overall level of the safety culture among residents was 0.6059. Safety education, channels for learning knowledge regarding safety, and implementation of safety management systems are currently the major obstacles affecting safety culture among residents, but there is still space for improvement in the future. Furthermore, the level of safety culture was strongly related to the distance from the infected, because this changes the risk of viral infection. There are also differences in obstacle factors in different regions. Therefore, it is necessary to implement measures targeting the improvement of safety culture in accordance with the risk of viral infection. Strategies for strengthening the safety culture are also given in this study for consideration in strategic decision making with the aim of promoting the improvement of safety culture among residents, which may help to reduce the risk of infection with COVID-19 for residents.
