Community-based hazard vulnerability assessments have gradually become a critical research topic, which attracts public administration scholars who focus on emergency management and disaster policy. This paper adopts the concept of comprehensive vulnerability management and applies McEntire's (2005) theoretical framework to conduct village-based floods and landslides vulnerability assessment in New Taipei City by using Latent Profile Analysis. Indicators and measures in each dimension are public available records from official datasets or governmental open data platform. Total 1,032 villages in New Taipei City are clustered as different groups based on their characteristics related to vulnerability to floods and landslides. The findings show 27 villages are particularly vulnerable to both hazards. We propose five suggestions to enhance those villages' disaster response capability. Firstly, the city government should organize a cross-functional team to develop response strategies and plans about these vulnerable villages. Secondly, resource accessibility related to sheltering, rescuing, goods and materials, medical services, and long-term care services in these villages should be enhanced. Thirdly, the idea of disaster-resilience community should be promoted and implemented to these village residents to increase their disaster risk awareness. Fourthly, resource availability of goods and materials, medical services, and long-term care services in mountain and coastal areas need to be improved. Fifthly, governments at all levels should cooperate with each other closely to certify all disaster-prevention infrastructures function properly. |
