Uncovering the Root Causes and Far-Reaching Impacts of Floods and Landslides in Brooke's Point, Palawan
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 14, Issue 7
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to look at the core causes of recurring floods and landslides in Brooke's Point, Palawan, and to make suggestions to solve these concerns. Understanding local perspectives of the causes of floods and landslides, analyzing the impact of these catastrophes on the community, and suggesting potential strategies to lessen their consequences were among the research aims. A mixed-methods approach was utilized to collect data from affected individuals and stakeholders, including household surveys, key informant interviews, and field observations. Residents blamed the frequent floods and landslides on a combination of natural and manmade reasons, including climate change, poor land use practices, illegal logging, and mining operations, according to the results. The catastrophes had substantial social, economic, and environmental consequences for the community, including deaths, property destruction, and interruptions to livelihoods. Based on these findings, the study suggests that comprehensive flood and landslide risk management measures be implemented, community awareness and preparedness be increased, early warning systems and communication networks be strengthened, and environmental conservation and sustainable development be promoted. The suggested recommendations are projected to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable Brooke's Point community, capable of coping with and adapting to the increased dangers posed by floods and landslides as climate change and other environmental issues become more prevalent.
