RESILIENCY FRAMEWORK OF COMMUTERS IN DAVAO CITY

Resiliency during public transportation commutes is an essential factor for the residents of Davao City who experience the long and arduous journeys of city traffic daily. This study aimed to identify the factors that made the commuters in Davao City resilient despite the day-to-day hassle of commuting, as well as the development of a framework utilizing an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) technique. The study locale is in Davao City where 150 daily commuters from around the city were taken as sample respondents. The researchers used a questionnaire as a tool for gathering data. The rotated component matrix discarded 17 items out of 30 and categorized the 13 remaining items into three dimensions. The factors that made the commuters in Davao City resilient were revealed in three varied aspects: self-induced recreation, readiness, and endurance. A Commuters’ Resiliency Framework was then developed.
