Measuring Community Resilience to Natural Hazards: Case Study of Yogyakarta Province

The concepts of community resilience have been utilized in the discussion on related to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and there has been a proliferation of concepts and frameworks for understanding and measuring resilience. This study builds on these measures of resilience by developing an Integrated Concept of Community Resilience (ICCR) adapted to include Indonesian context-specific dimensions such as different forms of cultural capital, governance and spatial planning. Specifically, existing forms of cultural capital, namely gotong royong (collective action) have long been rooted in many Indonesian societies and therefore play an important role in increasing community resilience. At a larger scale, community resilience is also influenced by external factors such as the governance system and spatial planning.
