Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the integration of teaching, research, and extension services within academia to address community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM). A comprehensive literature review reveals diverse integration models employed by academic institutions, showcasing their adaptability in mitigating multifaceted aspects of risk reduction. Positive impacts on community resilience, including enhanced preparedness, improved risk communication, and sustainable solutions, underscore academia's crucial role in fostering tangible benefits at the community level. Despite these advantages, challenges in implementation persist, such as institutional resistance, resource constraints, and the imperative for sustained community engagement. Overcoming these challenges emerges as a critical aspect for the successful execution of academic initiatives in CBDRM. A notable finding underscores the need for robust evaluation frameworks, with the absence of standardized metrics hindering a systematic assessment of the impact and sustainability of integrated academic initiatives. The study concludes by highlighting a critical gap in the literature and emphasizes the importance of addressing challenges and refining approaches collaboratively. A holistic, interdisciplinary, and community-centric strategy is advocated to advance the efficacy and sustainability of integrated academic initiatives in CBDRM, contributing to the resilience of communities facing the complexities of disaster risks.
