ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews flooding events in the Philippines and provides a GIS-based approach case study on how to measure vulnerability and resilience using the framework from Chapter 5 of this book. The province of Marinduque was used as a case study. A fuzzy logic approach was used to measure flooding exposure of different villages in the province using publicly available data set such as digital elevation model, rainfall, and landcover. Socio-economic data was derived from the community-based monitoring system (CBMS) of the province to estimate susceptibility of each village in the province. These data include poverty incidence, unemployment, proportion of children, and proportion of informal settlers. Lastly, resilience was estimated based on ecological systems, economic livelihood, and local government (village and municipality) programs or local disaster risk reduction plan.
