[23] Based on our findings, staying further from health facility showed higher participation, motivation, and critical awareness. This may be due to their previous experiences with flood that had contributed towards an increase in their community empowerment.…”

Community empowerment plays an important role in adapting and preparing towards flood risks and impacts. The flood which occurred in 2014 had severely affected three states in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and left a significant mark on the communities residing in those areas. A cross sectional study was conducted in 2015 by distributing a validated semi guided questionnaires among flood victims in three worst affected districts in Pahang. The objective was to assess the status of community empowerment and its associated factors. The Individual Community Related Empowerment (ICRE) tool was used to assess the community empowerment. A total of 602 respondents participated in this study. The majority of the respondents were males of Malay ethnic, residing in rural villages. Their ages ranged from 19 to 88 years old, with an average age of 48 years old. The community empowerment domains in our study were self-efficacy, intention, participation, motivation and critical awareness. Younger age was associated with higher self-efficacy. Males were found to have higher participation and motivation. Those who experienced more health symptoms were positively significantly correlated with all domains of empowerment except for self-efficacy. In conclusion, low status of empowerment is seen in all domains except for motivation and critical awareness.

Use of the Structured Interview Matrix to Enhance Community Resilience Through Collaboration and Inclusive Engagement

et al. 2014

The EnRiCH Project was formed to address challenges with disaster management for high risk populations. The theoretical foundation is based on salutogenesis, systems theory and community resilience, with emphasis on community assets, social capital, citizen participation, and collaborative practice, which support adaptive capacity to respond and recover from adverse events. We present results from the process evaluation of the use of the structured interview matrix (SIM) facilitation technique as a first step in asset-mapping for a community resilience intervention. Nine SIM sessions were conducted across five geographic communities (n = 143) with professionals and volunteers from emergency management, health and social services, community organisations and citizens who represent high risk populations. Open-ended questionnaires were completed by (n = 139) participants to document experiences of partaking in the session. Content analysis suggests that the SIM is an effective technique to enhance connectedness, common ground, collaborative action, and awareness of existing services and supports in each community.
