One of the most relevant problems of all these activities for risk reduction is the assessment process (La Longa, 2008). To have the tools and be able to consider the right variables to understand if the activities put in place produced desired outcomes. We arrived to the conclusion that the process knowledge- awareness-action never occur automatically, within an educational process, but this process must be accompanied in the direction of doing. To facilitate this process, it is necessary to understand better what are the elements and factors that influence it. In this sense, the data collected in recent years, on risk perception may represent good basis to identify the key-points to active the process knowledge-awareness- action. Background data. We think that improve risk perception of common people is the first goal to reach to be able to mitigate and reduce seismic risk. In this direction since the year 2013, we built the Seismic Risk Perception Questionnaire (SRP-Q) to investigate risk perception in the Italian citizens. In the last three years we collected over 9,000 questionnaires by web (www. terremototest.it) and in the year 2015 we conducted a Computer Assisted Telephone interview (CATI) on a national statistical sample of over 4,000 people. Both these research activities were conducted into the Projects S2-2012 and S2-2014 - Constraining Observations into Seismic Hazard Coordinated by Laura Peruzza (OGS - Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale) and funded by Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC) (Crescimbene et al ., 2014; Crescimbene et al., 2015). Method. We processed data on the seismic risk perception collected by CATI survey in the first months of 2015 (over 4,000 responses distributed throughout the Italian territory). Our method consists of identify principal variables that influence risk perception scores and use it to design risk reduction activities. We executed an explorative factor analysis (FA) on the seismic risk perception data. These datasets derived by the CATI Survey conducted on an Italian statistical sample (N= 4012) in the first months of 2015. Results of the FA describe for each indicator, considered in the SRP-Q (Crescimbene et al., 2013), some components that explain Fig. 1 – Hazard scree plot.
