Abstract: ETCOY, SHERILYN E., EUSEBIO, JODEL C., and JULATON, PRINCESS ANGELA MAE T. Socio-economic Vulnerability Assessment of Coastal Barangays of Naic and Tanza to Sea Level Rise: Basis for a Proposed Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Prof. Noel A. Sedigo, MSc A study was conducted from June 2018 to February 2019 to assess the socio-economic vulnerability of the coastal barangays of Naic and Tanza in Cavite to sea level rise and propose a comprehensive disaster risk reduction management plan. Specifically, the study aimed to: 1. identify the degree of socio-economic vulnerability of these coastal barangays in terms of sensitivity; 2. identify the degree of socio- economic vulnerability of these coastal barangays in terms of exposure; 3. identify the degree of socio-economic vulnerability of these coastal barangays in terms of adaptive capacity; and 4. formulate a comprehensive disaster risk reduction management plan to mitigate the hazards of sea level rise. Descriptive-Quantitative research design was used. Data were gathered through field visits, survey and interview of households and key respondents and barangay officials. Secondary data from the physical vulnerability of coastal areas conducted by Aguzar and Calderon (2018) and Mendiola and Mojica (2018) in Naic and Tanza respectively, were also used in the study. Google Form System for the paperless mechanism of survey forms, computing in Microsoft Excel and producing visual presentation maps using ArcGIS 10.2.2 were done to gather pertinent data. Over-all socio-economic vulnerability to sea level rise of 16 out of 24 coastal barangays were very low while the other five were low. In terms of sensitivity, Timalan Balsahan from Naic obtained the highest score at 0.05957 but Still at low level. In terms of exposure, five coastal communities in Tanza reached very high level. In terms of adaptive capacity, all coastal communities were at low level. The comprehensive disaster risk reduction management plan detailed the guidelines on mainstreaming of the DRRM in the coastal communities, climate-proofing adaptation, monitoring and reporting of identified projects, and resilience outcomes. Overall, the result of the study demonstrated better understanding of vulnerability in terms of social conditions and situation. The outcomes can support decision making in developing a risk reduction management plan.

A study was conducted from June 2018 to February 2019 to assess the socio-economic vulnerability of the coastal barangays of Naic and Tanza in Cavite to sea level rise and propose a comprehensive disaster risk reduction management plan.

Specifically, the study aimed to: 1. identify the degree of socio-economic vulnerability of these coastal barangays in terms of sensitivity; 2. identify the degree of socio- economic vulnerability of these coastal barangays in terms of exposure; 3. identify the degree of socio-economic vulnerability of these coastal barangays in terms of adaptive capacity; and 4. formulate a comprehensive disaster risk reduction management plan to mitigate the hazards of sea level rise. Descriptive-Quantitative research design was used. Data were gathered through field visits, survey and interview of households and key respondents and barangay officials. Secondary data from the physical vulnerability of coastal areas conducted by Aguzar and Calderon (2018) and Mendiola and Mojica (2018) in Naic and Tanza respectively, were also used in the study.

In terms of sensitivity, Timalan Balsahan from Naic obtained the highest score at 0.05957 but Still at low level. In terms of exposure, five coastal communities in Tanza reached very high level.
