Marginal urban areas face higher disaster risk, making their inhabitants more vulnerable. Although applying the engineering-and-policy-approach is important to reduce disaster risk, understanding people's disaster perception to maximize the benefits of this approach is more critical. This study conducted field surveys and semi-structured interviews for a thematic inductive analysis of the Pamatangan, an indigenous tribe on the left bank of the Dahan River, Taoyuan City. We investigated residents' perceived flood risk and its reduction through the engineer-and-policy-approach. Results show that public-sector provided resources reduce vulnerability by improving livelihood and exposure to flood risk by constructing drainage and embankment. Moreover, the government plans to exclude the settlement from river reservation by legalizing their land rights in the foreseeable future to increase the community's resilience. Furthermore, policy approaches, residents' risk perception, land ownership, and place attachment are root causes for vulnerability, and need deeper understanding. |
