| contents | <p><span> </span><span>This study assesses the adaptive capacity of elementary schools to disasters, specifically evaluating this capacity across various asset determinants and school profiles. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data was gathered from 21 respondents using a standardized Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) instrument. The findings reveal that elementary schools exhibit high adaptive capacity in human and social assets, moderate capacity in physical and financial assets, and low capacity in natural assets. These capacity levels remained consistent regardless of the school's profile. Furthermore, statistical analysis showed no significant difference in adaptive capacity based on school size or location; however, a significant difference was observed based on school classification. The study concludes that while schools demonstrate resilience in human and social dimensions, they are vulnerable regarding natural assets. To address these gaps, it is recommended that authorities conduct comprehensive inspections of public-school infrastructure and design future school buildings with elevated floors to mitigate flood risks.</span></p> |
