Resources:here
People live near volcanoes for a variety of reasons:
1)They were born there
2)the land is fertile and good for farming
3)people are optimistic and believe an eruption is unlikely
4)they do not have any choice as to where they live
Perception evaluated volcanic activity:
person's age and length of residence near a volcanic hazard are significant factors in a person's knowledge of volcanic activity and possible adjustment.
The evacuation of 60000 people before 1991 eruption of Mt.Pinatubo was successful because the government had provided a program to educate people concerning the dangers from violent ash eruptions with debris flow.
