This study analyzed the resilience of disaster-affected individuals relocated in an in-city resettlement project using the community resilience framework of the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) in the context of BBB. It contributes to understanding BBB in view of limited case studies of in-city resettlement. Employing mixed methods research design, data were gathered through key informant interviews, household surveys, documents, and observation. Results show that relocation significantly improved community resilience in terms of knowledge, health, infrastructure and services, connectedness, organization, and economic opportunities. Psychological support is lacking and mechanisms to manage the community’s natural assets need to be devised in view of spatial limitations. Good practices conforming to BBB principles include structural design improvement, hazard-based land-use planning, participatory approaches, provision of various services, adoption of a multi-partnership model, economic regeneration, and proper implementation through stakeholder management and disaster management legislation. Results indicate positive contributions of local government-managed in-city resettlement to community resilience when BBB principles are considered. Stakeholders in disaster governance can learn from the good practices identified towards better post-disaster recovery in line with SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities.","PeriodicalId":134687,"journal":{"name":"Climate, Disaster and Development Journal","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135132019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Philippines is also vulnerable to climate change and tropical cyclones (TCs), which caused over 236 billion Philippine Pesos worth of losses and damages to agriculture between 1990-2013. TCs can have impacts on banana, which is sensitive to strong winds and flooding. However, banana remains under-studied in the context of food security, climate change, and variability. Here, the physical risk of banana production to TCs by characterizing the hazard, exposure, and physical sensitivity of suitable cropland to TCs. Data on TCs, banana production and prices, and the costs of damages from TCs were also analyzed to provide a picture of TC impacts. The analysis shows that there are different levels of risk to cropland from TCs, and it is higher in Luzon and Eastern Visayas which are exposed to more, and more intense TCs. Mindanao currently has a low calculated physical risk to TCs, although because of the concentration of banana production in Central and Southeastern Mindanao, there may be more exposed, and thus vulnerable, cropland. Linear statistical relationships are poor between banana production and TCs, although recent experience from Typhoons Pablo and Odette (TC Bopha and Rai, 2012 and 2021) give evidence to the significant losses and damages from TC on banana production in Mindanao. Because TCs are projected to potentially become more intense, with more variability and uncertainty from climate change, more research is needed, given the banana’s importance in the Philippines.","PeriodicalId":134687,"journal":{"name":"Climate, Disaster and Development Journal","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133111068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In line with this, the study was conducted to describe the assets or capitals and determine the level of disaster preparedness index (DPI) of the selected flood-prone households, barangays, and municipalities in the Province of Laguna. A total of 194 household respondents were randomly selected in Brgy. Santisima Cruz, Santa Cruz; Brgy. Concepcion, Lumban; and Brgy. Nanguma, Mabitac. Key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and household survey were conducted to collect primary data. Computed weights were derived through analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to come-up with the DPI at the household, barangay, and municipal levels. Capital-based assessment of the disaster preparedness revealed that at the household level, 51% of the respondents in the three sites had high DPI, 34% had moderate DPI, and 15% had low DPI. All the three barangays had moderate DPI while all the three municipalities had high DPI. Overall assessment shows that cascading disaster preparedness programs from municipal to barangay, and eventually to household is not fully implemented. Identified areas with low DPI should be given the highest priority and resources for disaster preparation.","PeriodicalId":134687,"journal":{"name":"Climate, Disaster and Development Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121807391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It further examined the relationships among flood disaster risk perception, sense of place, and flood disaster preparedness of the respondents composed of 36 non-probable samples of owners and managers of enterprises near the river. The face-to-face survey revealed that most had accumulated damage and losses during floods, reinforcing their high flood disaster risk perceptions. But the latter was positively and significantly related to their sense of place score, which suggests a high value they assigned to their communities despite a high flood risk. However, they had a low disaster preparedness score which is not significantly related to flood disaster risk perception and a sense of place. Only place dependence had a positive and significant relationship to flood disaster preparedness which explains their reluctance to relocate their operations. Therefore, as part of enterprises’ formal operational requirements for a business permit, the entrepreneurs must undergo flood disaster preparedness orientation to adapt to climate change.","PeriodicalId":134687,"journal":{"name":"Climate, Disaster and Development Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126189355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
