The United Nations Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction emphasizes strengthening local resilience and community capacity as the key goals of disaster governance. For small islands, localized risk management and community-led approaches are essential to reduce vulnerability heightened by the impacts of climate change, sea level rise, and typhoons. This study examines Hujing Islet in Penghu County, Taiwan, exploring how community lifelines operate during typhoons and their relationship with social capital. Fieldwork conducted from 2023 to 2025 included observations and in-depth interviews. The study’s findings reveal that strong social capital and collaboration are essential to ensure the continuity of lifeline services on resource-limited islands. Linking social capital facilitates the rapid restoration of critical facilities; bonding capital supports post-disaster mobilization; and bridging capital leverages diaspora networks for recovery. This study recommends that governments foster community self-reliance and implement the Sendai Framework’s principles of multilevel collaboration and risk governance culture to strengthen island resilience. |
