Abstract

With the intensification of global climate change, the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and natural disasters have increased significantly, posing major threats to societies and ecosystems worldwide. Isolated island communities are particularly vulnerable due to limited resources and infrastructure, making it challenging to prepare for and recover from disasters. This study aims to address these challenges by developing a comprehensive disaster adaptation framework designed specifically for isolated island communities, using the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The research findings emphasise the critical importance of residents’ knowledge about evacuation and sheltering, which received the highest importance score (4.8 out of 5) in the development of the framework process. By integrating community resilience and disaster management, the framework identifies key attributes that significantly influence adaptive behaviours within communities, such as risk perception, earthquake knowledge, disaster prevention abilities, and the establishment of community platforms. This study highlights the importance of community engagement and introduces a rational evaluation approach to validate the effectiveness of the framework, thereby improving the ability of communities to adapt to disasters. This research offers important insights into developing disaster resilience systems for isolated island communities, guiding policy development and supporting the overall improvement of disaster resilience in these regions.
