}       Innovation for earthquake resilience and response in the Philippines

The project partnership of PGS with Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP) and ProdJX Artist Community was successfully completed in 2020. The project incorporates innovative techniques in the form of gamification of the Participatory 3-Dimensional Map (P3DM) to promote community-based awareness on contingency planning, specifically for earthquake-related hazards. PGS also spearheaded a Geonarratives Mapping activity as part of the project activities. Focusing on Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), this collaboration aimed to develop a platform to be used in facilitating inclusive participation in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) planning process. The project received additional funding from Elrha’s Humanitarian Innovations Fund (HIF) program for its second-phase implementation. The next phase of the project will be conducted until December 2022.

 

}       Strengthening Partnerships through Harmonized Plans for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

The Society’s partnership with PDRF has been extended with the implementation of the project ‘Strengthening Partnerships through Harmonized Plans for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management’. Under the Project Konek: Komunidad at Negosyo TungosaKatatagan, PGS will conduct mapathon activities in 12 barangays in Quezon City. The goal is to provide capacity building in the partner barangays with the creation of their local maps that will be used in their disaster risk reduction and management activities. The barangays will also be provided with a compiled risk atlas of their locality derived from the mapathon activities.

 

}       International Conference on Geographical Studies (ICGS 2021)

The first ever International Conference on Geographical Studies (ICGS 2021) was held on November 4-5, 2021. ICGS 2021 is a collaboration with the UP Department of Geography, and in partnership with Social Sciences and Philosophy Research Foundation (SSPRF). With the theme, “Geographies of Care: Lives, Spatialities, Experiences and Practices”, it served to highlight the multi-faceted aspect of care geographies as we navigate the pandemic and deal with the precarities of living in the ‘new normal’ and how relations and practices of care are implicated in the production of our everyday geographies. ICGS 2021 featured four plenary sessions, 15 panel sessions, and 47 paper presentations.
