Lastly, to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed policies intended to enhance the institutional governance framework for DRR. This study was executed in Padang City utilizing qualitative research methodologies. The research employs the NVivo 12 Plus software application for the purpose of data analysis and the assessment of research outcomes. The results indicate that within the dimensions of the Institutional Framework, the analysis reveals a hierarchy of descriptors ranked from highest to lowest significance, commencing with coordination and partnership, followed by disaster knowledge, communication, monitoring and warning, accountability, and justice. Additionally, this study presents a policy design intended to fortify the institutional governance framework for DRR in Padang City, grounded in the aforementioned dimensions. Furthermore, this policy design received endorsement from the stakeholders engaged in DRR efforts in Padang City, subsequent to the completion of the design evaluation. The proposed policy framework has the potential to serve as a valuable recommendation for policymakers engaged in the formulation of strategies aimed at mitigating the risk of tsunami disasters in Padang City. ©2025 The authors.
