Abstract
ABSTRACT Enhancing disaster resilience has become crucial for minimizing vulnerabilities and mitigating the impact of disasters on people. This study aims to provide a holistic understanding of community disaster resilience that highlights the significance of local communities’ ability toward disaster risk reduction in Myanmar. Our concept focuses on three main components: emergency preparedness, adaptive capacity, and community management, which can contribute to the real resilience of local people living within Myanmar’s flood-prone area. We developed the framework through a step-by-step process built upon existing scholarly debates, and participatory consultations with community stakeholders, especially an approach to capacity-based resilience characteristics. Our framework can be applied to assess community resilience to climate change-related disasters and will allow organizations such as Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to evaluate the challenges and opportunities of the community more effectively for disaster risk reduction in Myanmar.
