Abstract

Research on the barriers to IFRM adaptation in developing countries remains limited to almost no study. Hence, this study identifies key barriers to IFRM adaptation in a megacity of a developing country, Metro Manila, Philippines, by conducting a comprehensive review of the literature. From the literature review, there are 12 barriers in Metro Manila which we categorized into the governance, social, and technological resources aspects. Some barriers in the governance aspect are similar to those found in developed countries, but some barriers in the social and technological resources aspect are regarded as unique because these barriers are contextual to prevailing socio-economic conditions of a developing country. Collectively, the barriers to IFRM adaptation in a developing country are more numerous, complex, and some are unique than those found in developed countries.
