Read Full Monograph: GIS-Based Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A) and Disaster Risk Assessments for Metro Cebu
The following are the specific objectives of this research project, whose results are narrated
in this monograph:
a. To establish and develop an evidence-based decision-support platform and system (DSS)
to monitor V & A and risk towards strengthening adaptive and disaster risk reduction
capacity of populations, especially concerning flooding / inundation.
b. To design and establish the structure and substantive contents of spatial and statistical
databases, the latter based on primary and secondary data gathering, as applicable, for V
& A and risk assessments
c. To apply remote sensing and geographic information systems (RS-GIS) in V & A as well
as risk assessments
d. To integrate maps on climate hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk (HEVR)
e. To gather primary and secondary data that would feed into the spatial and statistical
databases for V & A and risk assessments
f. To undertake stakeholder validation of components of integrated risk maps
g. To assist stakeholders in the formulation of strategic CCA-DRRM options
h. To enable the OPS to develop into a Risk GIS Academic Hub in the Visayas as a member
of Regional Disaster Risk GIS Consortia in the country by turning over to them the RS-GIS
decision-support platform and system
