Integration of Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge in Disaster Risk Reduction: Resilience Building of a Marginalized Sampaguita Growing Community in the Philippines
Abstract
© 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. A constructivist research methodology elucidated the evolved layers of risks in a sampaguita growing community in the Philippines. Integration of indigenous and scientific knowledge was a crucial process in livelihood disaster risk reduction and resilience building. Resilience processes empowered the marginalized community to escape chronic poverty and collectively act on other constraints including climate change-related risks. The resilience process of collective adaptation was a capability manifestation of making a choice to develop livelihood capitals in the face of disaster risks in a manner that does not degrade the natural resource base of the valued sampaguita livelihood.
