DRRC Universitas Indonesia contributes to the development of Framework for Community Resilience Assessment and Measurement (FRAME)

August 13, 2018

Community resilience is significantly important during crisis & disaster. The FRAME workshop is jointly organized by Lancaster University, Sunway University, Universitas Indonesia, and Thammasat University. The workshop is centred on community resilience assessment.

Community resilience is a major determinant of community
sustainability and its assessment is essential prerequisite for sustainable development. The assessment of community resilience provides the basis for identifying shortcomings and for guiding management decisions for the fair, efficient, and effective allocation of the resources needed to improve community resilience. An integrated Framework for Community Resilience Assessment and Measurement has been developed by the FRAME project. This framework provides guidance on the data collection and analysis of three distinct case studies in different countries in Southeast Asia (Malaysia,Indonesia, and Thailand) to establish the current situation with respect to community resilience. The three cases will be presented in the workshop that will be attended by key stakeholders such as ASEAN Humanitarian Agency,Indonesian National Disaster Agency, and AsianAgri

After a prolonged studies, FRAME is developed based on several case studies in multicountries and transboundary. This tool can be used to determine community resilience in normal, crisis & disaster situation.
