    Artisanal fishers: Knowledge on disaster risk, psychological preparedness, and psychosocial factors of resiliency
    Balan, Anna Gabriell D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)
    This study examined the knowledge on disaster risk, psychological preparedness for disaster threat and psychosocial factors of resiliency among artisanal fishers after typhoon Yolanda. Eighty-eight artisanal fishers participated in eight focus group discussions (FGDs) with 8-15 members each. They were administered a Hiligaynon-translated subscale of the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale or PPDTS (Zulch, Morrissey, Reser & Creed, 2012) and were asked questions guided by the developed Knowledge on Disaster Risk interview schedule and Psychosocial Factors of Resiliency interview schedule. Results showed that participants became more knowledgeable on disaster risk after typhoon Yolanda. Their knowledge is influenced by internal and external factors. They also displayed a high psychological preparedness for disaster threat. Psychosocial factors of resiliency that worked best for the participants are being resourceful and initiating a self-help strategy, assuming family- responsibility, faith in God, and material support coming from the different institutions.

    Ang babaye, banwa kag batiano: Women's concerns and issues on flooding and their involvement in the disaster risk reduction management plan of Oton, Iloilo
    Redison, Frances Anthea R. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    The study documents selected women’s concerns and issues on flooding on the three selected flood-prone barangays of Oton, Iloilo and their awareness of, and involvement in, the planning and implementation of the Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan. There were a total of sixty (60) women respondents who are officially registered voters of the three barangays drawn randomly from the local list of voters of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Master List of Voters. Key informant interviews were used to gather additional information about women’s insights and experiences of flooding, twenty (20) each barangay. Based on the study’s survey, the majority of the women tend not to participate in community affairs because family is still the priority and civic responsibility is seen as optional if not necessary thus reflects or contributes to their limited awareness of the DRRM Plan of Oton. The findings support the need for gender synthesizing before mainstreaming, and recommends the re-organization of women’s groups and promotion of a community-based DRRM which involves inter-barangay alliance - to give women an avenue to challenge and change their gendered status in society.

    This research paper is a descriptive history of disasters and disaster management in the municipality of Culasi from 1940 to 2013. The municipality of Culasi is located in the Philippine archipelago which is prone to disasters. Over the years, the municipality had experienced various kinds of disastrous natural hazards and disasters, including tropical cyclones, flood, earthquakes, and landslides. Tropical storms and cyclones are the most frequent natural hazard, while flooding is a natural disaster which has caused the most and widest damage. Earthquakes are the most destructive to human lives and are usually exacerbated by landslides, although the latter is the least experienced natural hazard in the municipality. In order to lessen and/or avoid the destructive impacts of these disasters, the local government of the municipality has implemented disaster management in areas of prevention, and mitigation, preparedness, response, rehabilitation and recovery.
