| Diasaster risk assessment is essential for quantifying the needs of disaster countermeasures and promoting their implementation. In flood prone area in Asia, evidence-based risk asseeemnt is very difficult to conduct because regional data related to natural and social environment is very limited. In this paper, a basic method of flood risk assessment was developed considering the data-poor situations in Asian flood prone area. From the interview surveys in local communities, the fact that monetized flood damage cost is small because of the adjustment of their lifestyle to frequent floods. Then, a floof risk assessment method forcusing on social impact on residents’ daily lives was proposed and applied in one of the flood prone area in the Pampanga River Basin in the Republic of the Philippines. |
