The City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office of the City of San Jose Del Monte (CSJDM), Bul... more The City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office of the City of San Jose Del Monte (CSJDM), Bulacan has been implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs and activities since 2013 after the passage of RA 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, which constitutionalizes disaster risk reduction and management in the Philippines. As a flood-vulnerable city, and with its location along the West Valley Fault that makes it susceptible to devastation when the so-called Big One occurs, CSJDM recognizes the importance of DRR activities to reduce disaster risks and implements information dissemination and capacity building activities to the public. Although these mechanisms seemed helpful, the approach had been pointed out in existing literature as limiting in terms of audience-based messages and strategies. Junior high school (JHS) students, who belong to the youth sector, are relevant in DRR mechanisms because of their budding potentials as citizens. Youth participation in DRR will minimize the stereotype that their sector is vulnerable in terms of the onset of disasters, especially in CSJDM.
Guided by Venkatesh et al.’s Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 and Health Belief Model of Hochbaum, Rosenstock, and Kegels, the study aimed to determine which motivational factors would affect the intention of the Junior High School (JHS) students to participate in DRR programs and activities in CSJDM, Bulacan. Specifically, it aimed to: 1) Identify their socio-demographic characteristics; 2) Determine the motivational factors grounded on the two theories affecting their intention to participate in DRR programs and activities; and 3) Describe the socio-demographic characteristics that affect their intention to participate in DRR programs and activities.
Survey questionnaires were administered to 420 JHS students from Ebenezer Christian Academy, Inc. and Kaypian National High School, who were randomly selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The data gathered were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. Significant variables were determined using correlation analyses that found out the relationship between and among the variables. The strength of their effect on intention was identified using binary logistic regression.
Results showed that none of the socio-demographic characteristics significantly correlated with the intention of JHS students to participate in DRR programs and activities. In addition, the significant motivational factors were affect, perceived ease of use, attitude towards behavior, perceived behavioral control, habit, compatibility, and hedonic motivation. Among these variables, affect turned out to be the most influencing motivational factor. Meanwhile, the awareness of the students on the existing DRR programs and activities they can participate in had a strong correlation with intention. When affect and awareness were employed simultaneously, there is a 2.6916 probability that the students will participate in DRR programs and activities. On the basis of these results, implications were discussed and recommendations on content development for DRR programs and activities were given.
