Sammanfattning: The Philippines are constantly challenged by the forces of nature. Typhoons make landfall on a yearly basis, making the island of Samar a disaster-prone area. This qualitative field study examines the risk perception of inhabitants and why they do live in this high-risk area. The thesis also strives to find out if education on DRR among children and youth affects the societal knowledge on disaster management. Lastly the report discusses how the results from why people live in high risk areas can be applicable for effective risk based land use planning.
