    Fishermen's Association of Malalison Island: Its role in managing the fishery resources
    Banagodos, June Arthur; Santotome, Jan (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-04-01)
    This study, describes the evolution of FAMI as a fishery association and the role it played in the management of the fishery resources. Objectives of this study are: (1) to describe the emergence of the FAMI organization in the island barangay of Malalison, Culasi, Antique; (2) Document the support it obtained from government and nongovernmental partner organizations (i.e., SEAFDEC, PROCESS and the LGU); (3) to analyze the members’ understanding of, and participation in the collective management of fishery resources in Malalison Island; (4) to identify the changing roles assumed by FAMI members with regards to the sharing of management authority and responsibilities with government and other institutions for the management of fishery resources, and; (5) to analyze the ways by which FAMI activities can further contribute to the local community. FAMI effectively co-manage coastal fishery resources. This organizational activity also helps in the improvement of the living conditions of the small-scale fishers as well as decelerates the rapid depletion of the marine resources. Despite substantial trainings/seminars (pertaining to organizational strengthening, cooperative management, etc.,) FAMI members received from partner organizations, the association has problems on organizational matters, specially when partner organization SEAFDEC AQD formally turned over the full responsibility in managing the fishery resources to FAMI. This problem can be attributed to people’s attitude towards fellow member-fishers. People tend to look at NGOs or development programs as source of grants. The dole-out mentality of the people in marginalized communities such as Malalison is very prevalent. Interest in the program is not on how to sustain their development initiatives but more on how to survive and secure themselves first. The spirit of cooperativism is lost.

    A case analysis of the rehabilitation programs of the Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo after typhoon Frank
    Alvarado, Rejay Y.; Sodusta, Russell P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-05)
    This undergraduate research entitled A Case Analysis of the Rehabilitation Programs of the Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo after Typhoon Frank presents the different rehabilitation programs implemented by the Local Government of Pavia and their effects to the people of the said municipality. Using three different methods of data gathering and data triangulation, the researchers found out that the LGU of Pavia implemented a number of rehabilitation programs which include human, structural and livelihood rehabilitation. Results, however, show that there is an information gap between the implementers and the receiving end since the people barely recognize or are aware of, or are dissatisfied with the efforts and the performance of the LGU. The results also highlight some of the factors that lead to the vulnerability of the Municipality of Pavia to natural hazards. The analysis, which uses Piers Blaikie’s Release of Pressures Model, entails the ways by which the vulnerabilities of the municipality will be solved and eventually progress to safety. The researchers’ recommendations include suggestions for improvement based on the thematic areas of the Hyogo Framework for Action: governance; risk assessment; knowledge and information; risk management and vulnerability reduction, and, disaster preparedness and response.
