“…Moreover, being the places where there is a higher population density, there will be events that will affect people, especially low-income people who are exposed/vulnerable to a disaster. Urban areas tend to sum more disaster events along time compared with periurban and rural areas ( Safapour et al, 2021 ; Raju et al, 2022 ). A set of management measures such as artificial intelligence methos in different application areas could reduce risk conditions in the cities during the future decades ( Munawar et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The capacity is the set of adaptive response strategies immediately after the disaster [24][25][26]. Also, the set of resources available to deal with the negative effects of disasters and the methods of using them are de ned [27,28]. The capacity is used by individuals and households and accessed through social networks [29].…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate resilience capacities to reduce the impacts of natural disasters (floods) in Konarak city. This study is applied research, which uses descriptive-analytical method to identify and measure dimensions and components resilience of Konarak city. The sample size was estimated using Cochran's formula of 371 households in four neighborhoods of Shomal nirogah gazi, Surak, Nazarabad and Jonoob shahr of Konarak city. To conduct research, first by using library sources, indicators and factors affecting social, economic, institutional, physical, environmental, health-sanitary and individual resilience were identified, and then the field methods and questionnaire were used to collect the required information.In order to analyze the data, the coefficient of multiple correlations such as multiple regression analyses and path analysis were used. The results showed that the level of resilience in the Konarak city is in the social dimension 48.70, economic 38.61, institutional 41.56, physical 31.20, environmental 34.12, health-sanitary 27.48 and individual dimension 39.12, which were in an unfavourable situation. The highest level of resilience is related to the neighbourhoods Shomal nirogah gazi and Surak with 40.95 and 37.81%, respectively, and the lowest level of resilience is for the neighborhoods Nazarabad and Jonoob shahr with 34.22 and 36.05%, respectively. Also, path analysis of resilience shows that in relation to the direct effects of resilience, the social dimension has the highest effect with (0.56) and the next ranks are the economic dimension with (0.51), the environmental dimension (0.41), and the physical dimension (0.39). ), the individual dimension (0.37), the institutional dimension (0.13) and the health-sanitary dimension with (0.10) have influenced the resilience of Konark city. Regarding the indirect effects, social resilience has the highest (0.43) and institutional dimension has the lowest (0.04) indirect impact on the resilience of the sample neighbourhoods of Konarak city.

“…Considering this, effective management and coordination are critical to recovery processes, yet this poses a challenge for countries to achieve. In fact, a study by Safapour et al (2021) indicates ineffective management and coordination along with insufficient financial resources as some of the most pervasive barriers in disaster recovery. These ultimately cause an increase in errors during the reconstruction process, thereby driving up costs and triggering schedule delays (Safapour et al, 2021).…”

Even so, such issues are ultimately still tied to community participation and social capital (Li & Tan, 2019).…”

The Philippines frequently experiences natural disasters and occasionally man-made ones. As such, Republic Act No. 10121, also known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, provides designated lead agencies to respond to different stages of disaster management. Despite this, the Philippine government has resorted to the creation of inter-agency task forces (IATFs) to deal with these disasters. These task forces were designed to expedite the implementation of rehabilitation programs and projects. However, in the cases of Task Force Yolanda and Task Force Bangon Marawi, the completion of such programs for typhoon Yolanda and Marawi siege affected areas has been delayed tremendously despite the presence of IATFs. Through an assessment on the effectiveness of the IATFs’ clusters using the multiple case study approach, this paper aims to determine whether or not IATFs were necessary for the recovery and rehabilitation phase of Typhoon Yolanda and the Marawi siege. Upon carrying out the assessment, the lack of timeliness and planning of rehabilitation programs, inconsistencies in the NEDA and OCD reports, insufficient community participation, and the mismatch of services and needs were observed. As such, this paper recommends the creation of criteria for the selection of task force leadership along with other measures that can increase the government’s transparency and accountability through periodical auditing and encourage community participation in rehabilitation initiatives.
