A key concept to achieving sustainable and invulnerable development, especially in thecoastal areas, is to manage the sources of risks to disaster-causing hazards. Risk in any system isinfluenced by multi-dimensional factors affecting vulnerability and resilience. In this dissertation,the causal structures of these components were analyzed by indicators and metrics that measuretheir occurrences in the coastal areas. Two case studies in analyzing vulnerability and resiliencewere conducted with five coastal communities and their governing institutions, respectively,following a practical application of social assessment tools and methods in the municipality ofBaler, province of Aurora, the Philippines. The first study that looked at the indicators forvulnerability illustrated variations in patterns across communities. This suggests that avulnerability condition was particularly influenced by communities’ inherent characteristics andtheir interactions with various social and environmental factors. Constructing resilienceindicators in the second study, on the other hand, presented a method for formulating directoutcomes and processes that described a resilient coastal community. Such attempts to use anindex-based approach to analyze vulnerability and resilience did not only advances pragmatictools and mechanisms for managing risk from emerging change such as disasters. It alsoenhanced the strategies for characterizing risks to social and environmental changes through theapplication of participatory development processes toward a viable disaster- risk reduction system at the local levels.
