Abstract:
Small islands have unique environmental characteristics that make them vulnerable to natural and human-induced hazards. The ability of a community to measure and assess its own risk and vulnerability, disaster planning, response, and recovery, as well as available resources contribute to the improvement of its capacity to better deal with disasters. Thus, we measure the resilience of a small island community using a tool developed by the Torrens Resilience Institute. We conducted a survey among local government officials and community residents in the Island Province of Guimaras. Our results show that Guimaras is facing various natural and anthropogenic hazards. However, local officials and community residents agreed that Guimaras is in the “Going Well Zone” (i.e., the island community is likely to be extremely resilient to any disaster). As tourism is a growing industry worldwide, the assessment that small island tourist destinations such as Guimaras is a resilient community would have positive impacts on the tourism industry, possibility leading to the sustainable development of coastal communities with tourism as a major source of supplemental or alternative livelihoods.
