Role of Collaborative Governance towards Crisis Management: A Case Study of Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA)
Abstract
Abstract Views: 0
The current study examines how the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) used collaborative governance to manage crises. It also aims to identify the elements of cooperative governance, fundamental tactics, and challenges encountered during crisis management. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were used. Twelve interviews with the PDMA top management were conducted and data was transcribed through thematic analysis. It has been determined that collaborative governance and fundamental and complementary conditions impact crisis management, particularly when building collaborative processes. It has also been discovered that the key prerequisites for developing the collaborative process are leadership activities and face-to-face negotiation. Contrarily, supportive settings entail an initial understanding, trust, and commitment that enhance the collaborative process without endangering crisis management. However, the research findings connect well with existing theories especially in governance frameworks on the importance of interactive dynamics. These perceptions can enlighten future study and pursue the practices in crisis management, mostly in how collaborative governance can influence to improve awareness and resilience in disaster management struggle.
