Smit, B. & Wandel, J. Adaptation, adaptive capacity and vulnerability.
The lack of transdisciplinary knowledge to support recovery plans to face disaster events misses a great opportunity for reducing vulnerability to hazards and increasing adaptation capacity in the longer term.
Based on the position analysis results using Structural Equations Model (SEM), 4 (four) factors affecting the adaptation model of resilience disaster prone city of Jakarta were found, which are spatial arrangement, technology innovation, disaster mitigation, and disaster adaptation.
Geoenvironmental disaster adaptation and risk perception.
Five key DRR issues were considered in our analysis: disaster knowledge, disaster readiness, disaster awareness, disaster adaptation, and disaster risk perception.
Altogether, 124 local people from 18 to 74 years of age from randomly selected 19 districts of Nepal were interviewed focusing on various questions on disaster information, disaster knowledge, disaster readiness, disaster awareness, disaster adaptation, and disaster risk perception.
The DRR knowledge of local people was analyzed with people's response on five key DRR issues (disaster knowledge, disaster readiness, disaster awareness, disaster adaptation and disaster risk perception) considered in this research.
Similarly, if a respondent responded strongly disagree for all five DRR issues; it was considered that he/she has no idea of the disaster knowledge, disaster readiness, disaster awareness, disaster adaptation and disaster risk perception.
Later in the analysis phase, the statements were categorized into five groups to explore knowledge of respondents on DRR as (i) Disaster-related knowledge, (ii) Disaster preparedness and readiness, (iiii) Disaster adaptation, (iv) Disaster awareness, (v) Disaster risk perception.
