Predictions in public: understanding the design, communication and dissemination of predictive maps to the public
Maps are an important communication tool during bushfires. Bushfire maps help residents understand where risks are, whether they are themselves at risk from the fire, and what actions to take to keep themselves safe. It is therefore very important that bushfire maps communicate effectively. We know from our previous research that many residents would find the predicted spread of the bushfire to be helpful information for making decisions about what to do in a bushfire. This study aims to test the design of a new type of bushfire map that includes predictions of bushfire spread. In the project, we are trying to determine which design is easiest to understand and whether the new map helps residents to identify which protective actions to take. We have created these map designs in collaboration with Australia’s fire response agencies (e.g., WA Department of Fire and Emergency Services, VIC Country Fire Authority, and Queensland Fire Department).

An application of the Prototype Willingness Model to mobile phone use while driving by young novice drivers
Driving while using a mobile phone has been recognised as a risky activity. The purpose of this research project is to understand why some young people may illegally use their mobile phone while they are driving a car, such as by sending text messages, making hand-held voice calls, receiving video calls or using social media. The study will examine how some different types of thoughts and beliefs might influence young peoples' intentions, expectations about, and willingness to drive while they are using a mobile phone. An optional second survey that participants can choose to complete in three weeks time will help understand if and how these intentions, expectations, and willingness relate to the young people’s engagement in driving while using a mobile phone.
